I so desperately wanted to do hair chalking with the best in expensive ways and wanted to share my experience with you all ... cause i know Makeupoholics would LOVE IT ! :) so here i am ... lets do it girls ...
TIPS and TRICKS of HAIR CHALKING :
I am always looking for the best, harmless and yet inexpensive easy ways for following all the latest trends in the fashion world.
My last hair tutorial regarding Highlighting Your Hair At Home : Tips And Tricks was highly appreciated so i decided to come up with the best safe and inexpensive way for hair chalking.
Hair chalking is an easy, quick and inexpensive way to add
temporary colour to your hair. You can do it yourself without making a big
mess.
Step 1: Buy your chalks
NOW its the major fun part. I know many people/face book pages are offering hair chalks right now( at somehow higher prices). But you know what? You don't need any special hair chalks AT ALL ( imagine the first person who came up with the idea , does she have any specialised hair chalks ??? NAAAA ) So , i did my hair chalking with ordinary OIL BASED PASTEL COLOURS ( used by kids normally) FOR JUST PKR. 120 that are easily available at any superstore.
All you need other than the chalk is a water bottle (optional),
protective gloves( optional , i didn't wear any ), hard paper ( as shown in the pic above), a large comb, dryer (optional , i didn't use any ) and a flat iron.
Step 2: Prep your hair
Make sure to wet the hair first so the colour can stick to your hair properly. However if you’re blond( or have lighter hair colour), do not wet the hair before chalking unless you
want the colour to stay in for longer period.I used to apply the chalk after taking bath when my hair are slightly damp.
Step 3: Add the colour
Apply the chalk to the strand of hair in a downward
motion, twist the hair as you are applying chalk. I put the strand of my hair on a hard paper and then rub the chalk as it makes it more easier.
If your hair are darker in colour then its preferred to rub the white chalk before applying the desired chalk colour. In my case , it wasn't needed to apply the white chalk as my hair strands were easily picking up the chalk colour.
You can try for a fun ombre look, or just
do a couple of strands.
Step 4: Let it dry
You can blow dry your hair, some recommends air drying so
that you don't blow off the chalk.I usually don't use any blow dryer.
Step 5: Set the colour
Seal the colour in with a flat iron or a curling iron rod to add
waves. Apply hair spray as a final step.
Step 6: Wash it out when you are ready
The colour generally lasts for one shampoo; however, if
the hair are more porous, such as colour-treated blond hair, it can last a
couple of washes.
To protect my hair from drying i used to apply an egg+oil mask ( one egg and 2-3 tbsp of oil) on my hair for 1-2 hrs before shampooing leaving my hair super soft.
for reference, I simply washed my hair after the next day because my hair were full of tangles.
IMPORTANT TIP
- If you want something brighter, you can apply white chalk first and then go over it with the colour you want to make it pop.
Hair chalking
- Don’t apply the chalk with any wax or product in your hair.
- Don’t use water on blond hair if you don’t want the colour to last for longer.
- Wear protective clothing when applying hair chalks and try to sleep on an old pillow case as the colour may leave some ugly stains.In my case , hair chalks gt transferred a little bit on my shirt but not on my pillow.
- Don’t try this near the water/beach or on a rainy day( i don't know why ;p )
- Make sure your hair are tangled free before hair chalking
- Don't comb your hair much after hair chalking
Hair chalking tips for your hair colour
Blond -- Blondes can have a lot of fun with hair chalking, but
they shouldn't wet their hair first. Read these tips on how to chalk blond
hair.
Brown -- Brunettes can use any colour hair chalk. With
lighter brown hair, the colour will be more intense.
Red -- Redheads can chalk their hair, too. They just need to
pick the right colours of chalk.
Black -- Those women with black hair need to pick bright,
vibrant shades of chalk. And it is highly recommended to apply white chalk first and then go over it with the color you want to make it pop
AND the Final Results are ....
