girl you are looking so beautiful lately! not even just because of your recent weight loss, i think your confidence has grown and its radiating out of you! absolutely gorgeous! hope you had a good thanksgiving
I ironically did this to my hair out of boredom earlier today! I actually crushed some of the chalk pastel into a powder, and put small drops of water into it to make a paste. It was very effective and easier. The color has lasted throughout the whole day pretty well too without heat. I used a darkish blue
+Aamnah Khan I didn't end up getting any on my clothes. It's pretty easy to control. Chalk pastel does wipe off clothing though easily. The paste could possibly stain if you tried to wipe it off, but would wash out
one of the reasons it may have taken a while to get on is they were brand new, even when I'm drawing chalk pastels are hard to use at first so maybe try rubbing it on paper first... may help may not
+Madelaine Thomsen Yes I agree it would, because the more expensive brands would most likely have a higher pigment concentration however regardless of that I always find it a little easier to use after rubbing chalk pastels on paper before drawing with them
OMGegee Yeah I agree :) and once you got them soften up, you got chalk all over the place xD in your face, on your hands, and maybe on the paper too xD LOL
if you use gloves and crush up the chalk mix it with a 1:2 ratio of the chalk and water and apply the watery mixture it work a lot better i set it with a spray gel and that worked for and i have dark curly hair and right not my hair is cotton candy hot pink
Started watching you ladies this morning..and I haven't stop...I've saved a bunch of videos for curling the hair I'm just so in love with curly hair and mines is straight..so they will help out alot. Officially subscribed to your channel can't wait for more videos ♡
I do this quite a bit, and I've found that its easiest to use a hard surface like a small notebook the way you were using your hand (less messy too). Also, the wetter your hair and the chalk are, the faster the color will transfer to your hair. Loved the video ❤
I have the Splat hair chalk and they are formulated to work on dark hair so they work on both dark and light hair (I have tested on both)! You put hairspray after applying (on dry hair) to make them last and need no heat tools. Also they're about $10 each which i actually don't think is expensive considering they work and they are made for hair so they're not damaging. (also they definitely do not take as long as these pastels lmao)
I've used the Splat hair pastels in blue and Rose pink. It is messy too, but washes off easy. Last time I used latex gloves to protect my hands. With mine you are supposed to apply the color and then use hair spray to set the color and then style. My hair is a medium golden brown and needs a decent amount of product to even see the color. I've seen other videos using these kind of soft pastels and the color application seemed easy, but at least one of those the girl had blonde hair. I did a test strip using my oil based watercolor pastels just to see if that would work. You could see the color, but it was super clumpy and dried kind of brittle. That was definitely a fail.
I seen a couple others kind of mention maybe trying this but to seal chalk pastels when you use them to draw you use hair spray and if you do that they don't bleed or rub off would think that it would work the same way for this. That way it stays til your ready to wash out and it protects clothing or skin from rub off. I know if you do a picture with them and you don't set them with the hair spray it gets on anything that it touches. Also I second someone who said crush a little then wet that down to apply, it will still dry to chalk but would be very easy to put onto the hair. Also wash hands/ any utensils you use to apply before applying a different color, chalk pastels are meant to be blended to make new colors. So if you do blue then don't wash what your using to apply and just go to applying pink it looks slightly purple instead of pink.
I did it on my toddlers dirty blonde hair and even after two washes it stayed in really well. but just try and make sure not to get it to close to the roots because it bleeds twords the end of its journey and gets on the scalp but that can be washed off. and if you don't want it to stay in as long you can skip the heating process and it lasts for one washing. but yes with blonde it is extremely pigmented
I did this to one my nurses once and her hair stayed red/pink for over 2 weeks and she couldn't get it out, she had to get her hair redone so she could be blonde again. That may be because her hair is dyed though not sure
+Tori Bro bleached hair is more porous so that's probably why it "stained" her hair. I've done blue but with "real" hair chalk on my bleached hair, it lasted a REALLY long time lol
I literally just watched every single fail or holy grail video in one sitting! I love this channel and love you Ellie! Yeah for the Elko family! Officially Subscibed! Next step is getting me a fail or holy grail shirt! :)
yeah that is true but if you have a bought original chalk for hair in the instruction it says that you have to spray your hair with hair spray so I guess you can do that instead.
This worked sooo good and I love my hair just a heads up that its better if you use a hairdryer do not let it air dry because it will get on your clothes or vanish if you are using a hairdryer then make sure to put a kitchen towel beneath your hair
I have dark asian hair and what I noticed was that certain colors on my hair. the pink and brown colors pretty much didn't want to show. but the green and blue turned out really well. I guess your hair color depends what shows up. like how the lavender didn't work out
I've heard that with regular hair chalk you're supposed to put some hairspray on when you're done because then the chalk sticks better and won't rub off. So maybe that applyes for this chalk as well! :)
Hi Ellko, I really enjoy your videos :) It's easy to get roped into the newest hair trends and then when you try them at home, it's a huge fail. Seeing you try these hair hacks first, avoids hours of me experimenting with disappointment. Keep posting ! :)
you can do the same thing with eye shadow the trick is instead of water you use hairspray it doesnt rub off as much and it still comes off in the shower
Subscribed!! My one question is: Can we use oil pastels? They are kind of like chalk pastels, I just need to know if it's bad for hair, or if it will work. thank you!!
If you twist your hair when you do it it works a little better than how you were originally doing it, and it's less messy. But the chalk does dry out your hair. I used to do this with my hair when I was younger for school 😂👅
The pink and the purple do look similar, but there is a difference. I can tell that it's pink. But I don't know if that's just because I have an eye for colour or not. I may have to try this, it looks really cool.
Hey!! I love your videos, especially the fail or holy grail ones!! Just a suggestion for a fail or holy grail is using honey as a deep conditioner. Just add PURE un proccessed honey on dry or wet hair (its gonna be super sticky so just part your hair to make it easier). Once you covered all your hair clip th ends near your scalp to hold it, put a plastic bag on your hair, a hot towel, then another plastic bag. Wait for 30 mins or more and then wash it out!!! I had rlly dry hair and did this and my hair has felt so soft and shiny!!
Tip- dissolve some of the chalk to soften it in hot water... remove the hot coloured water and replace it with conditioner, mix the conditioner and the melted chalk together then just a apply with your fingers (wearing gloves) as you would with regular dye and it won't make your hair as dry ☺️
I'm new to your channel and this is the first time I've commented, however I think if you had crushed the pastels into powder and then added some water to make a paste/ mask then it would have worked a lot better with less mess! Maybe give it another go and see, the blue colour looked awesome on you by the way!
I knew about this before but I wanted to see some other ways of doing it and once I ombre pulped my friend honeys hair and her hair is a blondish ginger it looks gorgeous I totally recommend it
Ive done this before and it made my hair SOOOO DRRRYYYY and i got really upset but than i put more water and it worked . I have really really REALLY dark brown hair and nothing temporary ever works so im really happy this has worked
I used to do this in middle school back when my mom wouldn't let me dye my hair. I always found that oil pastels worked better but those might be less hair safe or something, never seen them mentioned in the lil pinterest/tumblr tutorials. OH also if you're blonde enough you can use washable crayola markers to do something like this. No idea how safe it is but it works.
Be carful what u brush your hair with chalk in you hair cause it ruins your brush ... I found that out the hard way :/ rip graces hairbrush ( 2012 - 2015 )
I have a question what if you use those kind of brushes that straighten you hair will it still work? btw I love your videos you are so amazing at making them ❤❤
I used a fudge hair chalk on mine today I liked how my hair looked but I had a girl no reason scream top of lungs laugh in my face as she hung onto her boyfriend. it really upset me and hurt my ears which is what she wanted to do. people were looking at her though. I still feel upset as im actually really shy. thank you for the share though.
soak just the end of the pastel in some water for a minute or two first, and I'd suggest dipping the strand in a glass of water. The more you're having to rub against your hair follicle, the more damage you're doing to it, so the wetter, the better. And yes, the darker your hair the brighter the color you'll have to use and use a wide tooth comb when drying it because it will ruin a hair brush. Chalk is also naturally drying, so this isn't a method I'd suggest to constantly use and may really be best for highlighted sections only. (Also, it can ruin clothes as even with hair spray after your hair is dry, some will transfer to your clothing.)
I bought hair chalk last year and I tried it after a few days. I made my whole hair blue. It looked blue (sort of),but after a while, the chalk faded and it moved to colorize my neck and clothes. Probably I would use it again just for stripes, but it's a shame that on blond, the colors don't look that well.
It is cheaper and better then the stuff that is meant for hair, trust me I know,I have used the stuff before and is was a total fail!! But what you did seams to be much better!
