The traditional hair chalk stick can be used on wet or dry hair, and lasts from shampoos, depending on how light your hair is. Place a towel on your shoulders and use gloves to prevent staining. Blondes can do that too, but it'll make the pigment stay on much longer. Apply the chalk to the strand of hair you'd like to color, twisting the hair into itself as you go. Allow for the color to dry, or just give it a cool blast of air with your hairdryer.
Style as usual, but if you want to lock in the color, finish it with hairspray. Hair chalk spray is likely the easiest to use, because you just spray it on dry hair right before going out. It typically only lasts a few shampoos, but that also means it's super easy to get out of your hair. Just mist the color directly on your hair, wherever you would like a pop of color, and style it like normal.

I Accept Show Purposes. Hair Hair Color. How to Chalk Hair Wet the strand of hair you want to chalk. It is best to work in small sections. Starting at the top of the strand you want colored, gently rub the chalk pastel over the wet strand. You may need to rub the color on the hair a few times to achieve the desired color.
You could also try just dipping the tip of the chalk in water and rubbing it on the hair as well. Both techniques work great. You may want to play around a little to see which you like better. Let your hair air dry and then heat set with a flat or curling iron. The colors will pop once your hair is dry. Shake off the excess pigment and you are all set! When you are ready to remove the color, simply wash with shampoo. It may stain the hair slightly if you have lighter hair, but it will fade quickly with repeated washes.
Braids look great and will keep your hair from moving and rubbing the chalk off. We have not had any problems with color transferring to clothing, however if you are worried about it wear something that matches your new hair color. Sleep with an old pillow case in case the color transfers. The chalk can dry out your hair, so make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner when washing it out.
I gradually made my way through my chalk colors. On one side of my head I had blue and orange and on the other was purple, green, and pink. I was quite excited that the chalk seemed to be working, however the orange was the weakest hue of the bunch. I couldn't wait to dry my hair! After drying my hair with a hairdryer, I was pleased to see that the purple, green, and pink chalks had fared well, with the pink being the strongest shade. Although you can just see the blue in the back, the blue and orange "side" was definitely not as bright.
The sidewalk chalks created a faded, pastel effect that looked a little like when hair chalk has been washed out. I pulled up the photos from my experiment with hair-specific chalk to compare the difference:. As you can see, hair chalk is much more vibrant than sidewalk chalk when freshly applied. So, in a pinch, hair chalk could work to give you a quick splash of color — at least on lighter strands. I couldn't tell you how it would show up in darker hair, but it's definitely not as pigmented as legit hair coloring products, or even chalk specifically for use in hair.
Simply put, this works — but if you're looking for vibrancy in your hair colors, you might want to choose a different alternative.
