I have read so many topics on hair chalking. I have never tried it but would love to:)
I have black hair so will it show on my dark hair??Is it damaging to use once in a while? Which is the best colour that will show on dark hair?

Do reply:)
If anyone have pics do include:)

And I don't reckon it damages if your only using it once in a while, just make sure you wash it out thoroughly :)

I use the Anastasia hair pigment and it's lovely. I used it on a girl with super dark hair and created a blue/green bun! I think it's a better product than chalk as it's less drying. It also works on eyebrows!  :-)

It depends on the hair chalk :) I've tried it and I have dark brown hair.. It will be noticeable if you use vibrant colors. But honeslty it didn't last me long.. Because if you touch your hair a lot it will come off easily. The hai chalk dried out my hair but its pretty cool to use once in a while but my hair would be back to normal when it came off. But I mean try it out.. Its not like its permanent.

Thanks:)
should I wet my hair before using it??

I've never tried it wet, but a little hair spray after you apply it will help keep it in place. I also wouldn't wear white with it, it can rub off on clothing.

So it's kind of messy:):)
I would try the Anastasia hair pigment, thanks Stacy:)

Left my hands blue :(
but it got everywhere, I recommend glovers and hair spray after wards so the powder doesn't rub off

Ya it washes off easily but make sure you wash good it just make sure you don't lean on anyone or it will get on their clothes.

It's a little messy. :) I've used a make up sponge and made a pigment/hair/sponge sandwich, which helps keep it off your hands.

I think you can get it through Beautylish! Clarifying shampoo will get all the color out and making a pigment/hair/sponge sandwich with a make up sponge keeps pigment from getting all over your hands!
