DIY: Pastel Chalking

You will need:
- An old towel
- A spray bottle filled with water
- Gloves
- Clips
- Comb
- Pastels (Soft-Oil)
- Paper
- Straightener
- Hairspray

Directions:


1. Comb and section your hair:
 Brush your hair like you normally would, and section your hair. I sectioned my hair into three separate parts, so I had top layer, a middle layer and a bottom layer.

2. Dampen your hair:
Decide what parts of hair you would like to be coloured and dampen it using the spray bottle. I did 2 different pieces on each side on the top layer, 2 different pieces on each side in the middle layer, and 2 different pieces on each side on the bottom layer.

3. Color:
Choose the colour of pastel you are wanting to chalk your hair with, and pick up a piece of dampened hair. Start pressing the pastel against the hair just like you would coloring! I found it easier to lay your hair on a piece of hair and colour it that way, Don't forget to get both sides of the hair, and not just the top

4. Style:
Once you are done chalking your hair, blow dry your hair - and comb through it like you normally would. I found that the colour stayed in longer when I used a heat tool (straightener or curler) on it afterwards. Lightly spray a bit of hairspray on the coloured pieces to stay in place.


*THIS IS VERY MESSY
**COLOUR LASTS ABOUT 1-3 DAYS
***WORKS BEST ON BLONDE HAIR
