Ed. Obsession Under $20: Hair chalk

Dipped tips have been around for quite a bit—we’ve seen them on Kate Bosworth and Rachel McAdams forever ago, a grungy Quinn more recently on Glee and Lauren Conrad just last week. And yet this pretty hair trend hasn’t been able to break into the mainstream—probably because dyeing your hair a crazy shade can be scary—until now. Hello, hair chalk! Thanks to a slew of new hair chalks in a range of vibrant shades and affordable price tags, the dipped tip trend is now totally achievable (and totally temporary).

 

Hair chalks work by—yep, you guessed it—coating the hair with a chalky, highly-pigmented powder. Each brand works a bit differently, so always read and follow the instructions carefully.

 

Do try it on the tips only—not from roots to ends. A grungy, ombre look is chic in a neon shade!

Do twist your locks as you rub on the color. The texture will help the chalk adhere.

Do wet hair first if you have dark or brunette tresses—it’ll make the pigment stronger.

Don’t wet hair if you have light or blonde locks—or it could take days to wash out.

 
 
We love Hair Flairs Color Rub, $13, hairflairs.com. Available in 10 shades!

About the whole hair chalking thing. Two things. One, It's totally temperary, right? And two, I found some on Amazon.com, including the one you showed. It's still gonna work since it's the same brand. Right?

I tried this with chalk pastels and got the coolest results! But wear your hair up the first day, 'cause it'll get on your clothes and DO wear gloves because it's REALLY hard to get off of your fingers!

my hair is a short brown bob. do you think the hair chalk would look good with it and if so what color would be best?
plz answer




Hey girl!

I think hair chalk would look awesome no matter what color/length your hair is. Any color is awesome, so try them all out and see which you like best!

I would stick to chalk that is just for your hair. Sidewalk chalk is dusty and not a cute look in your hair!

It seems like the hair chalk will only work with blond or light hair, and I have really really dark brown, almost black, hair. Will it work on my hair?




Hey girlie,

It should work... I've heard spritzing a small section of your hair with water, then rolling it, then using the chalk will help the chalk show up on darker strands. You could give that a try! Or you could Google your question/ask your hairdresser and see if anyone else has figured it out Smile I wish I could help more - I've never done it on my hair though so I'm not sure!

I have a friend that's a sophomore and she always wants to borrow my stuff but never brings it back, she borrowed my yoga pants Monday and said she's going to bring them back on Monday when I specifically told her to bring them back the day after she borrowed them from me. So should I trust her now Or not? And she called me fat ONCE and doesn't like my walking or writing and says I wear too much makeup when I want to wear makeup so should I keep being friends with her or not?

Hey Megan1220, mhmm doesn’t sound like this girl is a good friend. You don’t need someone always wearing your stuff being rude to you. I say you get your yoga pants back and make a new pal. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Would the hair chalk work with a strawberry blonde/ ornagey colored hair? It looks really nice in the pictures but they have kinda blonde colored hair.

Hey flowergobloom, yeah I think it works with all shades of hair. Just be sure to read the instructions on the box before dying. Hope this helps! Xoxo

Okay so i am really pale! like a combinatation of irish german scottish pale! today we had a track meet ana i sorta got a tan but i got a sunburn to. is there any way i can get a realistic tan without burnin? pLUS my mom wont let me get anything like on of those fade to a tan gradually creams and i defenally dont want to get a tanning bed or anything that involves cancer cuz one of my friends has skin cancer and i dont want cancer
thanks and ps i look really really pale compared to my friends because i live in texas and hang out with a bunch of mexicans (no offence but i dont know how to word it anothey way)

 

Hey! The truth is there is no safe tan. Pale skin is beautiful! embrace your uniqueness. You're skin will be gross when you're old if you tan a lot now. Tan less and age well!

Ok, so the thing is I'm a tomboy. I mean basketball shorts tshirts and tennis shoes EVERY DAY. but I'm starting to get bored with it. Is there a way to become a little more girly without sacrificing comfort? Also I'm on a budget.

 

hey! if you live somewhere warm I think skirts are really comfy and if you live somewhere cold maybe invest in some cute leggings and tights, you can wear them with shorts, skirts and dresses and they're super comfy.

Instead of using hair chalk, I stock up on the washable hair colour in hairsprayish bottles. All you do is spray, wait 10-15 minutes for it to set then go........and it washes out with shampoo!
