So, if you have been following my blog a bit you would know that I have always wanted to dip-dye my hair like Lauren Conrad did for SS11 but never really got around to it. I took the plunge in april for my birthday and decided to go ombré (best decision ever!), leaving my options open if I ever wanted to dip-dye my ends as they we already bleached.
As, the end of the summer became near and the chances of me being able to dip-dye my hair became very very slim as I was going back to school in a week, and I had a party the next day I decided to try chalk my hair. Er, not my best idea at 11:30 pm (let's face it, it's probably not the best time of day to make decisions but I'll go on).
I read up many times before on how to chalk your hair but this was the main video I used: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhRK9F_I2wg
I'm just going to be brutally honest: A waste of time and I ended up looking like a scarecrow (totally serious here). When my hair was curly and it had freshly applied wet chalk I thought this was the best thing ever invented and I couldn't wait to tell everyone, but as I had to "seal" the colour with heat things just went downhill.
I was half afraid to brush my hair as everytime I did it appeared as if more and more chalk came out. I felt as if I'd just wasted too much time. Once my hair was curled and looking pretty I did start to like the look of it but would have prefered stronger colour. What I did like about it though was that it gave me an idea of how my hair would look like dip-dyed and I definitely plan on doing it sometime!
Also, make sure you're hair is conditioned very well before and after. Most people say that you need it after but if you would rather that your hair wasn't straw condition the bejaysus outta' your hair. Same goes for after.
So this wasn't really for me but did give me an idea of how my hair would look like dip-dyed which was great to see. Maybe not my cuppa tea, but if you've a problem with crows attacking the shpuds then this is for you!
