How to Chalk Dye Your Hair :)

Really want to have some fun with your hair without colour commitment? These easy 10 steps will tell you how to do it, without damaging your lovely locks ;)


1. Get Some Chalk.


Firstly, you'll need to buy some chalks. You can use sidewalk chalk, but I discovered that soft chalk artist pastels work best.


2. Soggy and soaked.


Now you need to either soak your chalk in water or wet small sections of your hair. I'd recommend soaking the chalk in water. If you do decide to do this, sidewalk chalk has to be soaked A LOT longer than pastels.


3. Rubadubdub.


Once you've soaked the chalk or wet your hair, rub it into the sections of your hair you wish to dye.


4. Change!


It also looks GREAT if you change colours of the chalk :) :) So now pick a different colour (if you wish) and do the same! :) :)


5. Dry- Hair dryer.


Now dry your hair. The next four steps will tell you different ways to do so. If you want to keep the way your hair is looking then just use a hairdryer to dry the chalk.


6. Dry- Simply Straighty


Having this style straightened, looks really cute! So if the hair drying style ain't working for you, then go straight! Simply straighten over the chalk highlights and WAHLAH! :)


7. Dry- Curly Queen.


Still don't have that hot highlighted style you hoped for? Then pop in some crazy curls!! :) :) :) Again, just curl over the chalk bits you added and there you go!

Dry- It's a Wavy World!


This next luscious look makes you hair really pop! Try going wavy with your chalk highlights. To start off, you'll need to dry your hair with a hairdryer. Now, make two side french braids with your hair and leave them in for 6-8 hours which is why it's easier to go to sleep with this hairstyle and wake up in the morning with luscious waves!. If you're not sure how to do french braids then check out this video---------->

9. Dry- Cool Crimps.


This last drying idea is to go crimped! All you need to do, is crimp your hair! :) :) :)


10. SHOW 'EM OFF! :)


Now all that's left to do is show off your highlighted hair! Where it to school, local clubs or anything else! 


Have  fun!!


Love,
