How to hair chalk your hair

NOTES:
The color stays in your hair for about a week, if you don't want it to stay in for that long don;t use the curling or flat iron and water, doing this will make it paler but make it easier to get out and make it so it doesn't stay in for longer than a a couple of days or a day. If you have blonde hair I would suggest not using water(step 1) as it may stain your hair and make it harder to get out. 

You'll need:

Soft pastel chalk. (You can get it from most art shops)
A small spray bottle filled with water
A flat iron or curling iron
Rubber gloves
A old towel or t-shirt you don't mind getting color on.


Method:



Step 1: Spray the section of hair that you want to chalk with water( I would suggest doing 1-inch streaks) . You don't need to soak the entire strand, just go as high up as you want the color to be.

Step 2: Color on your hair with one of the pastels. I recommend choosing about three colors, and putting one at a time in your hair. Start with the lightest shade first, since, as you can see, the color gets all over your gloves and you'll end up with a muddied version of the same hue throughout if you go dark to light.

Step 3: Wait for your hair to air dry. Its best not to use a blow dryer, but if you do use a blow dryer make sure its on low heat and not to close to your hair. 

Step 4: Using the curling or flat iron, go over each colored strand. This sets the colors in your hair, so it will last longer. Then brush and style however you normally would!
