How Do You Keep Hair Chalk from Rubbing Off

Once you have chalked a strand of hair, rub it with a piece of paper towel until the colour stops rubbing off.

How do you get hair chalk to stay?

  1. Always start with dry hair.
  2. Brush your hair to remove knots before you begin.
  3. Spray the ends of your hair with dry shampoo or texture spray to get the chalk to hold better.
  4. On dark hair, you can dampen your hair with a water spray bottle to get the colour to hold better.

What is the difference between chalk and hair chalk?

As you can see, hair chalk is much more vibrant than sidewalk chalk when freshly applied. So, in a pinch, hair chalk could work to give you a quick splash of color — at least on lighter strands.
