Forget your tongs – there’s a mad new way to curl your hair

Okaaaaaay.

What next?!

In the world of crazy beauty hacks, nothing is really out of the realms of possibilities. Well, that’s what we thought until we found this bizarre tutorial about curling your hair with a pencil. Yes really.

Beauty blogger Tani Garcha demonstrates the technique in the below video. First, she twists her hair around the pencil and then she heats it using a flat iron.

Thank you all so so so so much ❤️. —————————————————- I love creating tight wavy curls with a wooden pencil! If any of you get bored from doing your homework, take your pencil & a hair straightener & try this out lol. *make sure to use a wooden pencil, no mechinal or plastic ones (it’ll melt & that won’t be good lol ??). #beautyhacks ??✏️ Thank you guys so much for the positive feedback!

It might seem a bit ridiculous if you already have curling tongs but if you don’t or you want to try something new, then this could be handy.

As Tani says, wooden pencils should only be used as plastic ones will melt and no one wants that!

The end result is tight spiral-like curls that are very different to the waves achieved with a curling tongs.

Another day, another crazy beauty hack.
