Hey everyone!
I bought this hair chalk around the holidays and I finally tried it out a few weeks ago. It’s made by Splat and the color is Sugar Plum. I bought it from Walmart for right under $5. I have been debating on coloring my hair. So, I decided to try hair chalk since it’s temporary. I saw other women who had success with coloring their natural hair with chalk, but not this particular brand. However, my experience did not work out so well. The chalk was very powdery and messy. It did not standout on my dark hair. It also stained my clothes. I think it may work better on lighter hair colors and non-kinky hair. I would not recommend this product based on the mess it created everywhere…counter top, face, clothes, furniture, car seat. I’m glad I was able to wash the color out of my clothes. If anyone has other suggestions for temporary hair color feel free let me know.

This is the chalk and sponge applicator. The chalk looks like eye shadow.
I don’t do it regularly, but the few times I did, I just used eyeshadow!
I’d seen a couple bloggers do it with eyeshadow, but never really thought about doing it myself.
I’m not a big makeup person, and a relative got me a set of eyeshadow pencils, so I decided I may as well use them for something…
I just placed my hair between the point and my thumb, dragged it through, and it looked great! My hair is very dark as well, but I used a deep purple shadow, and didn’t do my entire head- just a few clumps in the front.
Inside, it wasn’t extremely noticable (All day, people were asking me “did you put purple in your hair….? It looks nice!”). But outside was when it was more vivid.
If I remember correctly, it did fade somewhat throughout the day, but not by much. I just had to touch it up the next day.

Thanks for that tip! I am going to see what I have at home to try out. I actually thought about trying a gel/cream based eye shadow since I saw someone use a cream based hair chalk. Do you have pics of your hair with the shadow?

You’re welcome!
I didn’t take any pictures, unfortunately, but the first person I saw do it was Curlynikki in this post (pics included): http://www.curlynikki.com/2012/10/blue-highlights-anyone.html?m=1
She used a cream based shadow as well, and I really like the way it turned out. If you do decide to give it a try, I hope you like the results!
