Hair Chalks: What Are These & How To Use Them?

Planning of colouring your hair but scared of the long-term commitment? Fret not because here is a way to colour your hair in crazy shades, that too temporarily. We are talking about hair chalks.

What Are Hair Chalks?

Hair chalks is basically a powdery stick that transfers temporary colour onto your strands. It is simply chalk for your hair. It is a temporary hair colour and can be removed with just a hair wash.

How To Use

• Start by washing your hair properly as hair chalk doesn’t work on greasy hair. Don’t use any leave in mask or conditioner as your hair should be clean and dry.
• Now, change into an old t-shirt as the colour might drip and leave marks on your t-shirt.
• Now, take the section that you want to colour and make it damp.
• Apply the hair chalk as per the directions on the package. Make sure to keep it away from your roots and only use it on the lower part of your strands.
• Remember to apply it smoothly and consistently.
• Now, let it dry and use a hair spray to seal it in.
