spray bottle

lots of paper towels (it's messy!)

some kind of heat product

soft chalk pastels (NOT oil based! these will ruin your hair), about 2-3 pieces (i used purple, blue, and pink)

1 take a section of your hair (about 1/4 of an inch wide), and (if you have blonde hair, do not spray unless you want it to stay in longer.) spray the bottom part of it. with longer hair i like to spray about half for it to show up more, but with short hair, spray only a little bit of the end.

2 wet down the chalk pastel (again, only with darker than blonde hair)

3 put the section of hair (that you sprayed) on the palm of your hand and rub the chalk on the hair. it will get knotty, but that is okay because the chalk is rubbing off on it.

4 do this with one color on a few strands, then switch colors and do it on different strands. if you want tye-dye, try changing colors in the middle of a strand!

5 when all the hair that you prefer is colored, then let it dry and either straighten it or curl it (curling works best) to set the chalk.

this lasts about 1-3 days, depending on if you wet your hair or not (wet stays longer).

when you want to get it out, brush your hair to remove as much chalk as you can, then shampoo + condition the ends to work out the chalk. this is not damaging to your hair unless you do it often, because the chalk removes moisture that your hair tips need. the finished prroduct is my hair at the top of the page.

have fun and if you did it, post in the comments a link to a picture and i'll check it out!
