Yup, That's Pinteresting!: Hair Chalking

How many pins have you seen on Pinterest about hair chalking? Countless, right? I just love the colors, they look so vibrant and beautiful. I have two daughters, both of which were really excited to have their hair chalked. Even more excited were their three friends who also thought it would be fun! Don't worry, I got Mommy's permission for each child. I have looked at a number of Youtube videos and blogs about chalking. There seems to be many techniques and favorite ways to chalk ones hair. I preferred a combination of the techniques I've watched and read about.

I learned that if you braid a section of hair (smaller is better) that when you undo the braid, the hair looks like a feather has been applied. I tried really hard to photograph this, but I wasn't very successful. This technique worked best on the Blondie. I also learned that you can gradient the colors and do basically whatever your mind thinks up. We used plain 'ol pastel chalks that you can find at your arts and crafts store. I already owned them, so this Pinteresting idea cost me zilch to try....bonus!

Here are a few things we did:
Wet the hair
Twisted sections
Applied the chalk in a downward motion
Used the hair straightener after the color was applied
Combed out the hair to get the additional chalk out
Had a ton of FUN!
