Have you ever wondered if there's an easier way to dip-dye your hair? You know, without the hassle of buying expensive dye and then not liking the end result, wishing you could wash it out straight away? Well, there is! Apparently it's the new "craze" - which meant we had to give it a go :)
We first heard of chalking from a YouTube channel called HeyKayli who gives a couple of demo's on how to chalk your hair. If you want to check that out then click HERE.
All you need is water and chalk - preferably chalk pastels or soft pastel chalk.
Take a strand of hair and wet it. We wet our hair with a damp/wet cloth but it would be easier to have a spray bottle or wet your whole head in the shower first.
Once the strand is wet you take a piece of your chalk (whatever colour you choose) and rub it on the strand of hair in a downward motion. You don't need to cover the whole strand, just as far up as you want it.
Suggestion: If you want to do more than one colour, start with, say, pink and cover all the strands you want pink and then move on to a different colour, and so on.
When you brush the hair through (it tends to get a little dry at the ends) the chalk fades a little but it's still bright enough to see the colours.
The end result is pretty good! We think curling the hair would be nice as the colours would all blend together but leaving it straight would work too!
The good thing about chalking is that it only takes one wash to come out! So if you don't like it, you don't have to keep it for another two months :)
Anyone else tried chalking? What did you think of it?
