Sudden Hair Chalk Craze!! ♥ Review and Tutorial

Okay, first is first. What is hair chalk some people may ask. Is it chalk for hair, or chalk made out of hair (ewww). Well, hair chalk is normal soft pastels. You can find them at a local art store. DO NOT GO FOR OIL PASTELS. GET SOFT PASTELS. Oil pastels are a lot messier and don't work cos' the oil will clump your hair together. Another tip, HAIR CHALK IS NOT SOMETHING SPECIAL. What I mean is, don't pay extra for it. It's just normal soft pastels which aren't really expensive, so if you are buying online and someone sells hair chalk for more than $15 AT MOST, don't buy it. So yeah, here's how you do it!! LEGOOO!!

(Sorry there will be no step-by-step pictures here. It's difficult to do it and take pictures, but there will be a video!)

• First, wet the section of your hair you want to colour with water. Make sure it's really wet.
• Next, dip the tip of the hair chalk in water. It helps to moisten the chalk for easier application.
• Run the chalk down your hair until you feel you have added enough. NOTE: THE COLOUR GETS MORE OBVIOUS WHEN YOUR HAIR DRIES, SO WHEN YOU APPLY IT, DON'T ADD TO MUCH
• Comb your hair
• *Optional* Use a straightening or curling iron to straighten/curl your hair. The heat helps brighten as well as seal the colours in.

:) Easy right? Will post a video tutorial up on Youtube when I'm free. :)

Okay, so here's my pros and cons of using hair chalk:

PROS:

• Your the stylist, so be creative and think of different ways or areas to apply it in and make your hair super cool.
• Quite cheap and available in art stores.
• Works on dark hair too.
• Don't worry about making mistakes, it's temporary (;

CONS:

• Very drying to your hair.
• The fact that it's temporary can also be a con:- Like when you do a super cool design and you wanna keep it forever, but it will have to come off :'(

Anyway, here's some that I did. Enjoy (;
