which is why i was thrilled to run across this on pinterest!
Chalk hair. Things needed: Soft Pastel Chalk (DO NOT confuse it with oil pastel. Oil pastel will be hard to remove). Just twist hair while chalking & brush away excess powder left from chalk. If you have dark hair, wet the hair before. If you have blonde hair or blonde tips do not wet your hair since it may leave a stain. If you have red hair try it without water first & if it doesn't work add very little water. This will get on your clothes so wear something close to the colors on your head or do an up-do so it doesn't get on your clothes. To remove it, brush through your hair, shampoo & condition to replenish the moisture.
So awsome

ReplyDeletegreat news amy!
Deletemy girl loved it!!! so pumped to have "dyed" hair.
ReplyDeletecan we use regular chalk?
ReplyDeleteregular chalk will dry your hair out drastically and i'm not sure the color will stick as well. i think it will be more powdery than you would like. :)
DeleteHow long does it stay in for?
ReplyDeletehi scarah! it will stay in until you wash it out.
DeleteThis is so beautiful. I'm not sure what kind of chalk you're using. But be careful using pastel chalks used for fine art. They have many caustic ingredients you shouldn't expose your body to. Many art schools don't allow students to use them. I worked with them for years using a mask and special exhaust systems. I miss them as an art medium.
ReplyDeletedo u use a curling iron before or after using the chalk?
ReplyDeleteWhere can we buy the chalk?

Deletecan you use oil pastels any way, what will happen if i do.........?????
ReplyDeleteWhat colors work best for brown hair???????? what will happen if you use oil pastels? And what are some brand names for soft chalks?
ReplyDeletebright, vibrant colors work best for brown hair. oil pastels will make your hair very oily and it will get clumpy. plus, think oil pastels would be a nightmare to wash out. koss is a good brand of soft chalk pastels. good luck!
Deleteso is it fine to use a curling iron after you do it?
