HAIR CHALKING IDEAS & TRICKS & TUTORIAL!

Hair chalking is a great way to temporarily color your hair and will look great for summer to give you that ‘mermaid’ look!

Although the hair chalking trend has been around for a while now, as summer approaches I can’t wait to get the chalks out and add a splash of colour to my hair! What about you? It’s great fun and a brilliant opportunity to get creative with your hairstyle. The best part is it’s temporary and it will come out after just a couple of washes, so you don’t have to resort to dip-dye.

Here are some great hair chalking ideas for different hair colours and styles…

HAIR CHALKING TIPS

• Lay a sheet down on the floor to catch the chalk dust, wear rubber gloves and make sure you don’t get it on your clothes.
• For Dark Hair- Spray each section of hair with a little water first so that there will be more pigment and the colour will be more intense.
• For Blonde Hair- There is NO need to spray the hair with water if you just want it to last for a day – just apply the chalk directly to dry hair. If you’re cool with it staining and lasting for several washes then you can go ahead and wet the hair.
• Twist a section of hair and apply the chalk directly onto it as you twist. Start with a light colour and work your way to the darker shades/colours.
• Get creative! You can try using a few different colours, or use different shades from light to dark on one strand.
• If your hair is damp, wait for it to dry.
• Use a hair straightener or curling iron on your hair to seal in the colour.
• Style your hair as normal…et voila!
