DIY Hair Chalking for the 4th of July

DIY Hair Chalking for the 4th of July

The 4th of July is almost here! Bring on the warm weather, the BBQ food, the fireworks, and the parades! I absolutely love the 4th of July. I always dress up in red, white, and blue on Independence Day, but I thought it would be fun to be able to step it up a notch this year and adding some temporary color to my hair with some DIY hair chalking! I created a full tutorial so that you can add temporary color to your hair on the big day too! I am joining in with over 100 of my blogging besties to bring you some freaking awesome 4th of July projects for you as part of our Three Cheers for the Red, White, and Blue round up! There are links to each of these posts below my tutorial.

Now for the epic hair chalking DIY tutorial.

DIY Hair Chalking for the 4th of July

 

Here is what you need to chalk your hair…

*Chalk (chalk pastels from a craft store work best, but any chalk would work)

*Spray water bottle or soaking wet wash cloth

*Flat iron

*Hair gel

*Hair spray

How to add temporary hair color

First, soak the parts of your hair that you want to color. You can do this with either a wet wash cloth or a spray water bottle. You don’t have to get the entire piece of hair wet, just the part of the hair that you want to get colored.

Now rub the chalk up and down on the wet part of your hair. Note that I took a picture using sidewalk chalk on my hair, but I ended up using chalk pastels instead. The sidewalk chalk didn’t come out as the right colors. The red was pink instead of being red when I used the sidewalk chalk. Rub each section of your hair with the color of chalk that you want that piece of hair to be. Let hair dry completely and put a little hair gel on over the color. Add more chalk to each strand and let it dry out again. If you don’t want the color to be as long lasting, don’t use the hair gel.

Flat iron each of color strands and spray them with hair spray. Now style them how you wish!
