Hair Chalking Tutorial








Here is what to do when chalking your hair.
  1. Twist the hair as you chalk. The texture from twisting makes the chalk release more pigment.
  2. Always brush the excess powder out after chalking each piece.
  3. If you’re blonde or you have blonde tips, DO NOT wet your hair before chalking. I will stain if you do because adding water to pure pigment creates a real dye. If you’re okay with the staining for several washes then go for it! If you’re looking to do color for the day, do not add water at any time.
  4. If your hair color is anything darker than blonde and you don’t have blonde tips, you’ll NEED the water. Doubling the pigment is what will help the colors to show up on darker hair. Mist a little water on the strand with a spray bottle, then chalk it up! It won’t stain darker hair the same way it will on lighter hair.
I think the hair looks really cute

Are you going to try this technique?

    1. Use only soft pastels. Regular chalk doesn’t work the same. It’s harder to transfer and getting it to stick to your hair can be virtually impossible.
