Chalk It Up!

Here is some tips to offer and how-to information for color smashing and chalking technique! What is color smashing, you ask? It’s just that: grab a handful of color, grab a handful of hair, and smash the tint into the strands, producing a concentrated burst of color. Chalking, on the other hand, borrows materials from the kids’ crafts box; take pastel chalk, wet it and swipe the color onto random strands. The color sets with a quick spritz of hairspray until the client shampoos it out. Although there are no hard and fast rules for smashing and chalking, its suggesting you choose colors that stand out against the existing hair color. Example: using blues and blacks on lighter hair, and oranges, reds and greens on darker strands.
