Hey guys! It’s Kenzie here on All That Glitters! This week my blog is about hair chalk! It is a huge new thing! It’s super fast and easy, plus super cute!
Here’s how you do it:
Step One: Buy Artist’s Lofts Fundamentals Soft Pastels which is different than normal chalk.
Step Two: Wrap a towel around your neck and pull your hair to the side.
Step Three: Take a spray bottle and wet the piece of hair you want to use.
Step Four: On that wet piece of hair, rub the chalk onto it until you have it as dark as you want it. Repeat this to all the strands of hair you want to have colored.
Step Five: Let your hair dry.
Step Six: Once your hair is dry, curl each piece you put chalk on because the heat will set it and using a curler works better than a straightener.
Thats it! Its super easy to do, very cute, and great because it only lasts a few days!

July 20, 2012 at 16:59You should be able to find it at art stores or possibly somewhere like Hobby Lobby.

June 29, 2012 at 22:25Doesnt damage your hair BUT does it damage your straightner or curler? 😮 p.s how long does this last if you wash your hair every other day?? Thanks (:

August 15, 2012 at 12:47It won’t damage your products. And its last maybe 3-5 days

June 24, 2012 at 21:20Is this temporary or permanent?

June 25, 2012 at 09:37It’s temporary.

May 24, 2012 at 15:05Will a straightener mess up the color? My hair doesn’t hold curls.

April 23, 2012 at 11:54Does it rub off onto your clothes? Just wondering if anyone’s shirts have been stained from it?
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
April 24, 2012 at 11:26It shouldn’t. The heat from the curling iron sets it.

March 29, 2012 at 21:50Some of the high school girls in my literature club wear hair chalk. I love it!!

March 29, 2012 at 14:31I really want to do this…but sadly I have a feeling it won’t take on my VERY dark brown hair!

July 3, 2012 at 05:41This actually works on all hair colors. For dark hair, you just need to apply some white chalk before the color and it turns out super vibrant

March 28, 2012 at 04:14Hmmmm…. Now do I show my eleven year old daughter this post?
kenziedodd says
March 30, 2012 at 15:04She would probably love it!

March 27, 2012 at 17:21I am so trying that, I’m just saying 🙂 So pretty!
kenziedodd says
March 30, 2012 at 15:00I think so too!
David N. Walker says
March 27, 2012 at 14:47God already streak my brown hair with silver. Think I’ll leave it along.
Kenzie, keep writing. You’re good at it. Think about it as a career choice.
Donna Newton says
March 28, 2012 at 04:14Come on, David. A little purple and blue would suit you 🙂
kenziedodd says
March 29, 2012 at 13:41thanks so much!
Lisa Hall-Wilson says
March 27, 2012 at 13:07This won’t damage your hair? It looks cool. My daughters would love this (maybe me too…) 🙂
Jillian Dodd - Glitter, Bliss and Perfect Chaos says
March 27, 2012 at 13:23I don’t think it will damage it. Got to better for it than what we used to do..which was bleach pieces of hair then dye them.
Lisa Hall-Wilson says
March 27, 2012 at 13:35lol – True enough.
kenziedodd says
March 27, 2012 at 14:33No its not bad for your hair, yeah i’m sure she will love it!
susielindau says
March 27, 2012 at 12:42I am going to send this to my blonde-haired daughter! Too cool!
kenziedodd says
March 27, 2012 at 14:32Yeah it is really fun! I’m sure she will love it!
August McLaughlin says
March 27, 2012 at 12:19Adorable! I bet that washes out of blonde hair better than the spray I used in high school. 😉
Jenny Hansen says
March 27, 2012 at 14:10Ditto, August! I used to use colored mousse and it was a pain.
kenziedodd says
March 27, 2012 at 14:31Yeah i think it would be super cute!
Tameri Etherton says
March 27, 2012 at 11:56This is way too cute and super easy. My only question: would it look silly on a 47 year-old woman? 😉
Jenny Hansen says
March 27, 2012 at 14:11Please! I saw we buy some chalk and do it on Friday. 🙂
kenziedodd says
March 27, 2012 at 14:29I think you can never be to old to have some color in your hair! It would look really pretty!
Donna Newton says
March 28, 2012 at 04:13Tameri, with chalk in our hair we’d look like we were still in our 20’s…….well at least I would from the back 🙂
Marcy Kennedy says
March 28, 2012 at 08:39Haha. I was just going to ask if I was too old at 30 to do this, but my question has already been answered! I was just talking to my husband the other day about how I’d like to put some crazy colors in my hair, but I didn’t want something that would last 6 weeks.
