Need Color? Try Hair Chalking...

Hair chalking is an easy, quick and inexpensive way to add
temporary color to your hair. You can do it yourself
without making a big commitment.

Step 1: Buy Your Chalk

You can buy inexpensive non-oil-based pastels at Michael's
for $5 or spend $60 if you really want to splurge. All you
need other than the chalk is a water bottle, protective
gloves, towels and a flat iron.

Step 2: Prep Your Hair

Make sure to wet the hair first so the color will attach
to it. However if you're blonde, do not wet the hair
before chalking unless you want the color to stay in
longer.

Step 3: Add The Color

Apply to the chalk to the strand of hair in a downward
motion, twist the hair as you chalk. You can try for a fun
ombre look, or just do a couple strands.

Step 4: Let It Dry

You can blow dry your hair, others recommend air drying so
that you don't blow off the chalk.

Step 5: Set The Color

Seal the color in with a flat iron or a curling iron to
add waves. Apply hair spray as a final step.

Step 6: Wash It Out When You Are Ready

The color generally will only last one shampoo; however,
if the hair is more porous, such as color-treated blonde
hair, it can last a couple shampoos. You can use a
clarifying shampoo or dish soap to remove the color more
quickly -- both have more detergent. Don't use dish soap
on your whole head, just on the strands that have been
colored.

Tip:

If you want something brighter, you can apply white chalk
first and then go over it with the color you want to make
it pop.

Hair Chalking Don'ts:

- Don't apply the chalk with any wax or product in your
hair.

- Don't use water on blonde hair if you don't want the
color to last.

- Wear protective clothing when applying and sleep on an
old pillow case as the color will transfer.
