From The Sidewalks To My Hair???

So hair chalking?  Who has heard of this?  Just watched a short video via Yahoo featuring hair colorist Jennifer J.  I've seen a lot of girls with streaks of bright and pale rainbow colors in their hair, but always assumed that they had used a temporary or permanent dye; not applied chalk, pastels, or special hair chalk to their locks.  I fear the messiness of this hair chalking, and also if I did it myself it will look as if a 5-year-old had control over my style for the day.  Once for a halloween costume I had applied a severe amount of hair glitter to my then-short-hairdo.  Not something I would ever want to do again unless for a photo-shoot, fashion show, or something of that nature.
So yes for editorial and catwalks, or concerts even.  But no for everyday style.  Get a professional or a friend to chalk your hair, and be careful around nice garments!  Yes it washes out, but still there is nothing worse than a big pink splotch on a favorite silky item.  And you probably don't want to run your hands through it, in the video, Jennifer J.'s hands were getting pretty pink.

A great example of Runway hair chalking.  Found on and borrowed from shesaidbeauty.com
