Rainbow Hair Chalking

I love brightly coloured hair but I don't have it because:

A) I'm not brave enough

B) I have a customer facing job!

So I decided to experiment with chalks or more precisely soft pastels, you can buy chalk that is especially made for hair but it is more expensive, I used soft pastels from an art shop to create my rainbow hair! My hair is very light so I didn't need to use water to get a good colour payoff, I literally just brushed the pastel on, but you can spritz your hair with water first if you have darker hair and want the colour to last longer. You can also use straighteners/ tongs to seal the colour in when finishing. Mine washed out after 2 washes, obviously if you use water first the colour will last longer.


Before you start make sure your soft pastels are NON TOXIC and DO NOT breathe in the dust! You will need gloves and old clothes you don't mind getting dirty when chalking, the colour may transfer onto clothing and bedding so wear darker colours. Don't use oil pastels they will make your hair a horrible sticky mess!! Make sure your hair is product free.

 

I love my rainbow hair !

Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol

This is awesomeness ( Its ok awesomeness is a real word I looked it up ;) )

I have been bleaching my hair since I was 15 and its recently hit an all time low, it kind of looks like mown grass in a heatwave.

I've used many expensive conditioning treatments to try to get it back into shape but I've finally admitted to myself that bleach is BAD TIMES!

During my lunch break I was browsing the shelves of Boots for a little gem that might help my sad locks when I found Dark and Lovely Ultra Cholesterol and a snip at £1.99 it would be rude not to!

The conditioner is described as an' intensive treatment for damaged, relaxed and colour treated hair'. The scent is subtle yet pleasant, the colour however is a crazy flouro yellow!

The directions state to leave it on for 5 to 7 minutes for deep conditioning so I decided to leave it on for an hour .... obviously you should always follow the instructions *waves finger* !!

When washing the conditioner out I could already tell a difference in the texture of my hair and when I went into work the next day my colleague commented on how great my hair looked.

Ideal , thumbs up from me!
