Try The Trend Tips
Think you’re ready to try the hair chalking technique? Here are a few tips to help you along the way.
DO NOT use oil based pastels, they have a tendency to stain your hair and everything else for that matter.
DO NOT put styling creams or waxed based style products in chalked hair. It will create a messy situation, no fun at all. Hair spray is best if you need some extra control over your tresses.
If you have blond or light colored hair it may take more than one shampoo to completely remove all the chalk from your hair. If necessary try shaking or brushing the chalk out of your hair before you shampoo, just to help ease the chalk removal process.
Make sure to thoroughly condition your hair before and after chalking, the chalk process tends to be a bit drying for your hair.
Avoid wearing light colored clothes when your hair is chalked, just in case any flecks of chalk happen to fall out of your hair.
