This is from before I put pink in my hair.
So I was looking on pinterest and I found this thing that tells you how to do it HERE
you use Oil pastels to temporarily color your hair how cool is that!
You will need...
- Rubber Gloves. (I didn't use gloves and my hands are fine....)
- An old t-shirt
- A spray bottle of water
- Clips to section your hair
- soft oil pastels. I don't really know what kind I used. I just used what I had. On the link above they say to use Rembrandt pastels
- Some paper you put your hair on the paper you color it
1. you dampen a section of hair
2. then you put your hair on the paper (the paper should be on a table or a counter)
3. then color it with your pastel witch ever color you like.
4. (I'm adding this one in here) Take a comb and lightly brash the part of your hair you have chalked.
I put the darker colors on the bottom of my hair and the lighter right above them. But you can do what ever you like! I also put some hairspray on it when I was done.

Sorry my hair was all messy. It had been up all day and I just really wanted to try this. I think it would look really cute with curls or waves.
P.s It does take some time to wash out just so you know.

Hey,
ReplyDeleteJust had a question about the process, I just did this tonight and set it with heat from my flat iron, showered about 8 hours later and it came right out! So disappointed, I'm definitely going to have to re-do tomorrow did you use hairspray to set it in? My hair looked so mangled after dragging the oil pastel over it I chose to shower so the ends didn't look ratty and since they said it would last thru 2-3 washes too bad it didn't GRRR I just don't get it!
When I did it to mine my hair was really curly at the ends and when I colored it the curls went a little straight at the ends so I just kinda swirled them around my finger to get them to be curly again. mine was a little hard to get out I still had blue in my hair the day after I showered and I really washed it. I think it's just about the kind you use different kinds do different things. I did put hair spray on it when I was done it really helps hold it all on! I hope this helps if you have anymore questions just let me know! :)
DeleteMy mom never lets me dye my hair (just is caused it looks bad) but she has agreed to do this so I hope it works.
ReplyDeleteGood Luck!! :) Let me know how it works out.
DeleteJust wanted to ask do you think that if i did this it would be okay for school?I am not allowed to have colored hair at my school but i wanted to use this for one of my shows and you said it takes a while to wash out so do you think I would be okay?
ReplyDeleteIs your hair brown like mine? Because when I washed mine most of it came out you couldn't tell I had it in. It was mostly the color green and more the feel of oil pastel's but that could have been the kind I used mine were not soft oil pastels they were just oil pastels....so if you just wash it before you go to school you should be fine (use a nice amount of shampoo though) But I would NOT do it if my hair was blond...
Deletemy hair is blonde so would you recomend not doing it?..... im alloewed to have color in my hair at school.... do you know how long it would take to get it out?
DeleteHi, Im trying this soon. Ive tryed dying a section of my hair wth jello and kool ade but they didnt work very well. Do you think any kind of oil pastels will work? And will the oil pastels stain colthes?
ReplyDeleteI've tryed kool ade too and it didn't work.. The one's I used were just oil pastels And they worked fine I guess you would have to try them to see if they work. My mom always told me that oil pastels stain so when I did it I was wearing and old shirt that I didn't care about just in case.
DeleteGood luck!!
Do you think this would work on black hair?
ReplyDeleteYES i did mind and i have like really dark black hair :)
Deleteit totally works my hair is black too it looks awesome with lighter colours i wouldn't recommend purple unless it's light,because you won't be able to see it much
DeleteJust put white on as a base color, then use the color you want your hair to be. :)
ReplyDeleteis it safe????.......
ReplyDeletedoes this damage my hair?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so I did it to mine a few times now and it didn't hurt it. I will try to find out more on it for you :)
DeleteDo you think it works with black hair?
ReplyDeleteI have know idea I don't have black hair so I can't try it out for you sorry... But if you give it a try let me know how it works out and post some pictures!! I would love to put it on my blog about how it works on darker hair so if you do try it let me know how it works!
Deletei have black hair and it works just fine ^u^
DeleteI just did it, and I have raven hair. It works well, especially the light colors. Hope it works for you! (BTW, I used art kit oil pastels)
Deletethanks so much! i had never heard of this till now and im super excited to try it! (btw above it should be quotes not quote's)
ReplyDeleteDoes it rub off on your clothes?
ReplyDeleteIt did rub off on mine,
Deletei wana try this soooo bad!!! thanks felicia!!!:)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with it!! And your welcome! :)
Deletedude, i don't want to like, rain on your parade or whatever but this completely SUCKED.
ReplyDeleteIt didn't work for you?? how did you do it maybe I can help!
DeleteMine didn't work either, it just rubbed out before it even dried.
Deletedoes it come out if you swim?
ReplyDeleteI don't really know.. It probably does though.
DeleteIf u don't use heat doesn't it make the pastel all chunky in ur hair??
ReplyDeletedoes it still work with blonde hair do you think
DeleteYes it does but DON'T use the water because It will stain your hair because adding water to the pure pigment creates a real dye. If you’re okay with the staining for some washes then go ahead. But if your just doing it for the day then don't add water and make sure your using the soft pastels. Have Fun!! :)
DeleteHey everyone you can also twist the hair as you chalk it, In stead of putting it on the paper (You might want to do it over the paper) Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteDoes just normal oil pastels work? or do u have to use soft pastels???
ReplyDeleteThe soft Pastels work so much better then trying to use just the normal kind.
DeleteI just used pastels from an old art kit on my sister's hair and it worked great but I also tried my pentel ones they were harder and didn't work at all!
DeleteHmmm... I'll think about that.
Deleteim doing this tonight with blonde hair and baby pink woo
ReplyDeleteI hope it worked out for you! I bet it looked amazing!!
Deletecan you use cheaper brands of pastel? its the closest ive got to hand right now. They are fairly soft and smudge ok.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be fine. I did this the other day when I was babysitting and I needed more pink so I went and got some soft pastels from Shopko for about 8 dollars and they worked great! So I would just give it a try. Good luck!! :)
DeleteHow long do you rub the oil pastel on your head?
DeleteTill you get the color you want
Deletewill is damage your hair?
ReplyDeleteNo it shouldn't, just be careful if you have blond hair! It's real fun! :)
DeleteI have found that oil pastel take longer to wash out than soft chalk pastels. Soft chalk pastels generally take only one wash to wash out, and the color looks somewhat dull and dry. But with oil pastels, it may take a few washes to come out, but the color looks a lot brighter and prettier! :)
ReplyDeleteAlso, if you straighten or curl your hair afterwards this will really lock in the. Odor for the day and keep it from running all over your clothes!
ReplyDeleteLock in the Color**
ReplyDeletehey so i think this looks perfect to use, my mom doesn't like me coloring my hair so im about to try this underneath one of my layers so she wont see, i have medium brown hair with blonde highlights, but im going to try it on a brown piece, what color/colors should i do? pink, purple, and blue? IDK!! thanks! :)
ReplyDelete-stephanie
he guys if you read my last comment you will know that im about to try it, im going to use the brand STUDIO A.C.M oil pastel
ReplyDelete-stephanie
okay so this is me again ^
ReplyDeletewell i did a little streak and it didnt work as well as i hoped for.. :(
but maybe i should have put more color on or got it ore wet, but whatever, it does work but its not so bright :/ ill try again tomorrow!
-stephanie
I'm sorry Stephanie I just got an email that you commented, With dark hair you do need water and you really need to rub it if you want it to be bright just like when you color. When ever I do mine orange and pink show up the best... But I love doing blue and purple they look so good together! I would say if you want those colors try using the brightest ones you have of those colors because with brown hair the darker colors don't show up well. I wish you lot's of luck!! and I hope it works better for you next time!! :)
DeleteHey! I can't wait to try this but I have super blonde hair and I'm not sure how to approach doing this... My mom is a teacher and she has some oil pastels and I was wondering if you could give me some guidence??? :)
ReplyDeleteWell for blonde hair don't use the water because It will stain your hair because adding water to the pure pigment creates a real dye. And just make sure the oil pastels are soft oil pastels..And Ohh I can't think of anything else right now... If I do I will let you no. Have fun!! :)
DeleteI have bought a Pentel BRAND Oil Pastel, not Soft pastel. I have read from other website that Oil Pastel can't be used in your hair. Is it really true? I bought this only because I want to use it in my hair, but I'm not sure if it's good. Please enlighten me. Thank you! :D
ReplyDeleteOmg, I'm not sure but I think those are the first kind I used on my hair I have brown hair (as you can tell from the picture) I read that to from alot of different places but I used them anyways because I already had them at home... They worked for me I have also used the soft and pretty much what's different is one is really harder then the other. so the soft ones come of on your hair so much nicer where as the other ones you really have to rub it (Witch I could see hurting your hair) when I did it to my hair it was late at night so I didn't set it with heat or anything so I don't know what that would do... After I used them both I think the softer ones work better and really you can get the soft ones at Shopko for around $8 I would use the soft ones but if you want to try the ones you have on your hair you can. I used them and all my hair is still here... Oh and the soft ones are easier to wash out. That's all I can think of right now.. Hope this helps :)
DeleteI tried pentel pastels in my sister's hair and they were too hard ad didn't work well at all!
DeleteI heard that oil pastels tend to get your hair all oily.
DeleteP.S I heard it from someone who really seems to know what she is doing.
Just a tip
I tried i and it didn't work! Can you tell me what kind of oil pastels you used??
ReplyDelete:) Thanks
Well you can still do it but don't use water.. I have blonde ends so I will try it tonight and let you as soon as I can :)
DeleteHey, I'm an Indian and Have black hair!! this worked so well!! and I ♥ this! thank you!
ReplyDeleteWill it stain my flat iron?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so.. But I have never tried it myself.
DeleteI have naturally blonde hair and I don't want this to stay in. I have art kit oil pastels and I was just wondering how to approach this... Please reply asap because i need this for like tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOk, For blonde hair... Don't use water because It will stain your hair because adding water to the pure pigment creates a real dye. And make sure your pastels are soft oil pastels because the other kind are hard on your hair.. Just be careful and good luck! :)
DeleteHey so umm, I wanted to temporarily dye my hair because we are not allowed to have dyed hairs in school and I was wondering how long will the colors stay in your hair? Cause I actually have oil pastels here at home and I have black hair but somehow it has auburn-ish shade. I'm asian and I'm from the Philippines. I tried using plain chalks on my hair the one you use with the board and it doesn't stay long. It would really mean a lot to me if you could help. Thanks. :))
ReplyDelete- Nics
Do I have to dampen my hair too?
ReplyDeleteHi wow the Philippines!! That's sooo cool!! Ok umm yess you do need to dampen your hair if it is a dark color. So what you will want to do is... Separate your hair into small sections. Then spray it with water. If doing it on the paper didn't work you can twist your hair then rub the oil pastels on it (do it over the paper) comb it a little to get the extra stuff out. I haven't done this yet (And I probably should have when I did it) You want to set the color with a curling iron or a flat iron. And you really want to use some soft oil Pastels.. They work so much better and show up better too. You don't need to get the ones that cost a lot. The soft oils that I got only cost about $10 and I got a lot of color so.. Yeah I really hope this helps.. I don't know how long it takes to get the color out if you set it but it should just be about I'm guessing 2-4 washes maybe? I was planning on doing my hair like this for new years eve and doing an another (more updated) post on it before the new year. Ahh I don't know what else.. I hope it works!! Good luck! :)
DeleteThanks I'll try to find soft pastels here. Thanks a lot! :]
DeleteYour welcome! Sorry it was really long... ohh and I did it to my hair on new years eve and I just washed it. It all came out (of the part of my hair that is brown..) on the first wash and I set it and everything. Good luck!
DeleteHey I'm back. And I went all over town to find soft pastels but they did't have any. Boy, talk about bad luck. -.- anyway, I only found fabric pastels. I found some hair chalks but they're pretty pricey here. -.- is there any more alternatives? If there is please let me know. Thanks! xx
Deletei am scared slightly... i have strawberry blonde hair. but i think i will do it any way... my mom doesn't care :P
ReplyDeleteHa don't be scared. I now have blonde ends... And new years eve was the first time I have tried it with the blonde... I have washed my hair once and most of it has come out.. But anyway good luck!
Deletehi
ReplyDeletei want to try this but do the colors come out bright or dull and pasty? I did a similar thing with chalk, it worked but it was a bit dull. thank you and BTW your hair looks AWESOME in the pic :)
will it damage hair if the hair is blondish brownish like goldish color
ReplyDeleteFor blonde hair... Don't use water because It will stain your hair because adding water to the pure pigment creates a real dye. And make sure your pastels are soft oil pastels because the other kind are hard on your hair.. Just be careful and good luck! :)
DeleteHey! I love your idea in dying my hair! I'm going to use Maped 'Color PEPS' pastels. I guess its not soft pastels. I think its oil pastels. Is it appropriate for black hair? Very black hair? Is it safe? Do I need to get my hair a little wet before starting to dye my hair? Please answer!
ReplyDeleteFor black hair, you will need to use water before putting thee pastels in. It is safe, I would be careful if your not using "soft oil pastels"
DeleteYes you need to wet your hair as she said before does this work for fat americans?
ReplyDeleteI HAVE BLACK HAIR AND IT DIDNT WORK
ReplyDeleteIf you have black hair you need to use more water, and make sure there soft oil pastels. The color will show up better then.
DeleteI have blonde hair and I want to do rainbow hair but I really need it out in one wash. Could I still straighten it and get it out in one wash? Any pointers besides not using water?
ReplyDeleteJust wash and rinse your hair properly and use probably quite an amount of shampoo.
DeleteI am the one who wanted rainbow hair. PLEASE REPLY ASAP.
ReplyDeleteIf you want it out in one was you'll need to make sure you have the right pastels. And a good shampoo I would also when washing it put the shampoo on and let it sit for 3-5 mins and then do the same with a conditioner
