Hair chalking?

The pic with the french braid is absolutely gorgeous. So is the video with the spiral curls. But I do think chalk is drying to the strands no matter what your hair type is. It should be used temporarily and not often, only special events I would think. < id="adlesse_unifier_magic_element_id" style="display:none;">

Doesn't vibrantly pigmented eyeshadow cost a bit of money? The pastels are only 5 to 12 dollars and you get a bunch of colors and can use em multiple times.

Check out CurlyNikki, she used Maybeline's Colour Tattoo.

I didn't watch the videos but here's how I did it(the fourth time around):
Dampen your hair
Apply moisturizer
Seal
Wipe chalk onto hair


I found it a LOT more effective to wet my hair rather than the chalk. The results weren't nearly the same.

I also found that some cheaper chalks broke up more easily which was a plus and minus because it disintegrated more easily hence leaving more color but it disintegrated more easily hence making it harder to hold. I also found that cheaper chalk wouldn't last as long or would last longer.

Jumbo chalk is not better. The skinnier ones give off more chalk in my experience.
