Good morning! My camera is dead :)
So now without further procrastination I give you the really low pixel shots of the chalked hair I did on Gwenea, Galadheil, and Myself.




Gwenea
(Curling Iron)


Galadheil
(flat Iron)

Myself.
(Crimper)


Alright here is how to accomplish this.
Supplies:
Cheap oil pastels in bright colours.
Towel,
Comb
Curling Iron, Flat Iron, or Crimper.
And a lot of patience

Step one:
Wet the piece of hair before applying oil pastel then twist it and start to colour it in. I found that twisting it really helped get more colour in. Dont brush after putting colour it because it can damage your hair.
Step two:
Then you can either wait a while or use your iron on it right away. The iron secures the colour, make sure you wipe it off with a towel after though! It gets pretty stained.
Comments:
Do it with clean hair, the colour only lasts a couple of days and the texture can be annoying. I would not do this all the time because of how sensitive I am to my hair texture but it was fun enough for me to do it twice.

Brushing your hair will become a hassle,
The flat iron gave a very dim tone to all of the colours, the curling iron gave a medium tone, the crimper spread the colour out evenly and waas preffered.
But the crimping it made my hair huge!

Well I hope you try this and if you did I would be really interested to see how it wen't for you!

In Christ
