Chalk Your Hair Not The Pavement

I was reading my Glamour magazine and I came across a hair trend called Hair Chalking. It's a temporary way to add color to your hair by using soft chalk. I've seen inspirational photos all over the interest and I would love to give it a try! I dislike highlights and dying my hair because I hate the permanent-ness of it all but I may have found a solution. The chalks are affordable and be found in any arts and craft store and the process is simple as pie.

How To

• Wet your hair (Blondes: Do NOT wet hair or it'll become harder to wash out; Redheads: try process WITHOUT water first, if the color isn't rich enough, add a little water depending on how dark your hair is)
• Put on a robe or an old t-shirt and lay a sheet on the floor to catch dust particles
  
• Rub soft pastel chalk on your hair while twisting the strands (Brunettes: before you rub the chalk, mist a little water onto your hair, again, to help double the pigment)
• Brush out excess powder after chalking each hair piece
• Use a heating element to lock in the color
• Placing your hair in a up-do is ideal because you'll get less chalk dusk on your clothes

Wash Out

• Brush your hair with a soft brush to get out as much color as possible
• Use a clarifying shampoo to get rid of the left over pigment and the safe natural binder used in chalk, made from tree sap (might take 2 washes to completely erase the color)
• After the shampoo, moisturize your hair with a conditioning treatment
