If you’re familiar with hair chalk, you’ll know it’s a fun way to change up your hair without the commitment. However, hair chalks can be on the expensive side. Which is why we LOVE this super easy way to achieve pastel locks. DIY Hair Chalk! Read on to find out how you can get pink and purple hues at home.
DIY Hair Chalk
If you’re wanting a temporary hues of pastel coloured locks, this super simple DIY hair chalk requires only one tool! Makeup! What we love most is that you can use any colour you wish that might not be available in regular hair chalk shades.
- As we are working with colour, be sure to cover your clothes to avoid marks and stains!
- Select your desired shade by using an eyeshadow, pigment or blush of your choice.
- Start with clean or second day old hair for styling.
- Style as desired before applying the product into your hair. This will ensure you are happy with the product and how the colour sits in your hair.
- Take a small section of hair and start applying the colour to your locks, just like you would your usual hair chalk. This is done by ‘sandwiching’ the section of hair between the product and your fingers.
- Once you have the desired amount of product, brush through to ensure the colour is evenly dispersed. This will also remove any excess pigment!
- Repeat until you achieve your desired look! Remember, this will be easiest to achieve a dip-dyed look. Don’t stress if you make a mistake! The best part about this DIY Hair Chalk is that it’s only temporary!
- For a multi-tonal effect, you can switch between different shades of your chosen colour with each section of hair.
- Once you’re happy with the colour placement, brush through to ensure there is no loose pigment. Spritz your hair with a hairspray to hold the colour in place!
- To remove the colour, simply shampoo and condition and the colour will easily rinse out. Unlike hair chalks, this will not stain and will wash out easily in one go!
Keep in mind! This will work best on blondes or those will lighter coloured natural hair! Although, brunettes can achieve a similar effect by using more vivid shades.
This look is perfect for parties, festival or if you fancy changing up your look! Will you be trying this out?! If so, happy colouring! xx

Perfect timing for this, i just got my honey blonde clips in the mail. Firstly i cant get over how fast the extensions came in the mail, so hats of to zala for spectacular customer service.
Anyways back to the chalk hair. I did this the other day to my hair and literally followed what was said step by step and it worked so perfectly. And like you said it washes out easily and doesn’t stain your hair at all which was great. I like that you guys stick to your word with what you say. Really good
