Daily Deviation

[Stock and Resources] Suggester says, "I love VioletLeBeaux's hair styling tutorials. Aside from the sweet and unique hair styles she presents, her way of explaining the steps is so clear and humorous. Who knew that you could use chalk pastels to give temporary color to your hair?" How To Use Pastels For Temporary Hair Colour by ~VioletLeBeaux ( Suggested by *spring-sky and Featured by ^PirateLotus-Stock )

I tried it today, but it didn't work v_v
I used sofr pastels from Koh-I-noor and my hair is dark, but you wrote it works on it too.
Can you might give me a hint what I did wrong?

My friend and I used this idea on her horse. It was a lot more hair, but it came out really well. [link]

I didn't have chalk pastels, so I tried oil pastels and when I tried to brush it, it didn't stay...

I really want to try this the right way though, because it looks really cool! I used a gradient of orange, pink and white with the oil pastels and it looked really cute, but yeah... when I brushed it it got stuck in the brush, and if I weren't to brush it, it'd look powdery >.< I have got to get myself some chalk pastels to try this! ._. Awesome tutorial though and congrats on the DD! :3

What did you do to prep your hair and what do you suggest to do in order to prep dark hair? I just tried it on my friends (dark hair and it dyed my fingers but did nothing to her hair. I am not sure if the trouble we had was because of her hair being "virgin" hair that has never been dyed before or if it was something else. I was really excited about trying this and I hope it will still work. Please reply.

I didn't prep my hair at all but as it's such a light colour it's easier for me to achieve bright results. For dark hair you can add a layer of white pastel as a base before the colour. You could also use hairspray first as a base to give the hair more grip for the colour. It may also be the kind of pastel you're using, make sure to use very soft chalk pastels. That said, everyone has different hair and nothing is suitable for every hair type so it will depend on the person :) Hope that helps and good luck!
