I ironically did this to my hair out of boredom earlier today! I actually crushed some of the chalk pastel into a powder, and put small drops of water into it to make a paste. It was very effective and easier. The color has lasted throughout the whole day pretty well too without heat. I used a darkish blue
Did it stain your clothes ?
Oh ok thank u
+Aamnah Khan It didn't stain anything; however, when I was applying it to my hair it got all over my hands, but proceeded to come off with water
+Sydney Slate but did it rub of on ur clothes ?
+Aamnah Khan I didn't end up getting any on my clothes. It's pretty easy to control. Chalk pastel does wipe off clothing though easily. The paste could possibly stain if you tried to wipe it off, but would wash out
girl you are looking so beautiful lately! not even just because of your recent weight loss, i think your confidence has grown and its radiating out of you! absolutely gorgeous! hope you had a good thanksgiving
yes!
I KNOW RIGHT! And something about her voice too! it's so smooth yet happy! she just seems so happy! i swear it's contagious.
I know right😃
exactly what I was thinking!
You should dye your tips that blue color! It looks really nice on you! 😊
Yasssss or the red is really pretty
yess
sub for sub
Yesss
I SEE MIN YOONGI
one of the reasons it may have taken a while to get on is they were brand new, even when I'm drawing chalk pastels are hard to use at first so maybe try rubbing it on paper first... may help may not
+OMGegee Good idea!
That's what I was thinking.
+OMGegee I also think it varies from brand, cheep chalk doesn't work as well as the more high end brands.
+Madelaine Thomsen Yes I agree it would, because the more expensive brands would most likely have a higher pigment concentration however regardless of that I always find it a little easier to use after rubbing chalk pastels on paper before drawing with them
OMGegee Yeah I agree :) and once you got them soften up, you got chalk all over the place xD in your face, on your hands, and maybe on the paper too xD LOL
YOU SHOULD DYE THE END OF YOUR HAIR BLUE!! like you agree!
I loved the way the purple and pink looked on you. It would make for such a kick ass ombre.
;0
+Autumn Brooks I did it now you
if you use gloves and crush up the chalk mix it with a 1:2 ratio of the chalk and water and apply the watery mixture it work a lot better i set it with a spray gel and that worked for and i have dark curly hair and right not my hair is cotton candy hot pink
omg FINALLY I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO DOES THIS!!
ik right it is so simple and no heat required
That sounds like a good idea do you just apply the paste with your hands?
+Holly Davis yeah or with a dye brush either works
and no heat required? omg.. thank god I scroll down enough to get your tips😭 tqvm
I do this quite a bit, and I've found that its easiest to use a hard surface like a small notebook the way you were using your hand (less messy too). Also, the wetter your hair and the chalk are, the faster the color will transfer to your hair. Loved the video ❤
Oh my gosh, Elko ! You should totally do a purple sombre. The color looks gorgeous on you !
Omg!!!!! I would have loved to do this one with you!!!! I'll be back in February and we need to find the perfect hack!!!!!
Ps you are very amaze
+MiniMeeshie omg lovee your channel!!!
+MiniMeeshie yes I loved when you two collabed last time@@@
Um yes please!!! I loved your last collab!
sub for sub?
Started watching you ladies this morning..and I haven't stop...I've saved a bunch of videos for curling the hair I'm just so in love with curly hair and mines is straight..so they will help out alot. Officially subscribed to your channel can't wait for more videos ♡
It looks like you got one of those watercolor tattoos! Wow this effect is probably one of my favorite FOHG end products, SOOOO pretty
I have the Splat hair chalk and they are formulated to work on dark hair so they work on both dark and light hair (I have tested on both)! You put hairspray after applying (on dry hair) to make them last and need no heat tools. Also they're about $10 each which i actually don't think is expensive considering they work and they are made for hair so they're not damaging. (also they definitely do not take as long as these pastels lmao)
I've used the Splat hair pastels in blue and Rose pink. It is messy too, but washes off easy. Last time I used latex gloves to protect my hands. With mine you are supposed to apply the color and then use hair spray to set the color and then style. My hair is a medium golden brown and needs a decent amount of product to even see the color.
I've seen other videos using these kind of soft pastels and the color application seemed easy, but at least one of those the girl had blonde hair.
I did a test strip using my oil based watercolor pastels just to see if that would work. You could see the color, but it was super clumpy and dried kind of brittle. That was definitely a fail.
The blue looks so pretty! So glad I found this series. Beautiful as always Ellie ❤️
*buys the pastel chalk. uses it for art instead*

sweet jesus your picture is perfect

Don't put any type of chalk other than hair chalk in your hair.
It dries out your hair and causes breakage.
oOp
What about the tips
I seen a couple others kind of mention maybe trying this but to seal chalk pastels when you use them to draw you use hair spray and if you do that they don't bleed or rub off would think that it would work the same way for this. That way it stays til your ready to wash out and it protects clothing or skin from rub off. I know if you do a picture with them and you don't set them with the hair spray it gets on anything that it touches. Also I second someone who said crush a little then wet that down to apply, it will still dry to chalk but would be very easy to put onto the hair. Also wash hands/ any utensils you use to apply before applying a different color, chalk pastels are meant to be blended to make new colors. So if you do blue then don't wash what your using to apply and just go to applying pink it looks slightly purple instead of pink.
the pink might have turned purple because you did it after the blue 😂 so idk if that's the reason but that's what I think
that would make Sense
sounds legit enofe
Or because her hair is so dark. I've done this to my hair several times and I have really dark brown hair. Pink colour always turns purple in my hair
That is so cool! It would probably be way easier on blonde hair, so it is amazing that you got that kind of color with that dark of hair.
The blue looks amazing on you!
I think the red and blue came out the best they look so pretty!!
omg you just gave me a reason to dig out one of my art kits again!
I really liked that red one you did! This was an amazing hack, I do this whenever I go to hang out with friends instead of dyeing my hair!
The colors are cute, love the purple!!
I love the blue curls!
Oh My gosh I've never gotten to these videos so early. I'm so excited, I love your videos. They are the best part of my day.
I love love loveee how purple and blue looks 😻 I have to try it asap
love the blue in your hair!
Blue looks really good in ur hair😍👌🏼
I love the blue one!💙
I don't wear chalk but it would be cute on my granddaughter. Wonder what it does to blonde hair? Hope it won't stain. Fun video Ellie thank you.
it works on blonde hair and it washes out great on my hair and doesn't stain my hair (I have light blonde hair)
I did it on my toddlers dirty blonde hair and even after two washes it stayed in really well. but just try and make sure not to get it to close to the roots because it bleeds twords the end of its journey and gets on the scalp but that can be washed off. and if you don't want it to stay in as long you can skip the heating process and it lasts for one washing. but yes with blonde it is extremely pigmented
I did this to one my nurses once and her hair stayed red/pink for over 2 weeks and she couldn't get it out, she had to get her hair redone so she could be blonde again. That may be because her hair is dyed though not sure
+Tori Bro bleached hair is more porous so that's probably why it "stained" her hair. I've done blue but with "real" hair chalk on my bleached hair, it lasted a REALLY long time lol
I had pink hair for 3 weeks before I had to dye it back to its normal colour
the blue looks sooo pretty
Omg i love how the blue and purple turned out.You are the best ❤❤❤❤
I've heard that with regular hair chalk you're supposed to put some hairspray on when you're done because then the chalk sticks better and won't rub off. So maybe that applyes for this chalk as well! :)
I literally just watched every single fail or holy grail video in one sitting! I love this channel and love you Ellie! Yeah for the Elko family! Officially Subscibed! Next step is getting me a fail or holy grail shirt! :)
If you twist your hair when you do it it works a little better than how you were originally doing it, and it's less messy. But the chalk does dry out your hair. I used to do this with my hair when I was younger for school 😂👅
This worked sooo good and I love my hair just a heads up that its better if you use a hairdryer do not let it air dry because it will get on your clothes or vanish if you are using a hairdryer then make sure to put a kitchen towel beneath your hair
I tried it and my hands were blue so now i have blue hands but it was fun and i thought your hair was amazing.
Red looks so nice in your hair omg 😍
you are so pretty! and I'm super jelly of your hair!
You seem so much happier and I'm very glad
I have dark asian hair and what I noticed was that certain colors on my hair. the pink and brown colors pretty much didn't want to show. but the green and blue turned out really well. I guess your hair color depends what shows up. like how the lavender didn't work out
"Dark Asian Hair"? You can just say Black hair.
+Nhan Le No, because some hair textures are different. That is why the said that about their hair.
You can always put white on first, air dry it then apply the light colour I believe
Holy grail because of the Blue chalk!! It looks so good on you!!
Wow I like the way that turned out!! Gonna have try it out👍🏻
I think u will look great with colored hair! I love vivid hair color 😊
The blue looks so nice in your hair!!! You should really get ombré blue in your hair!!!!
the blue is so pretty! I think if you went blue ombré one day you would totally rock it.
Ellie, you should totally do another nail art video!
Am I the only one who thinks she has beautiful eyes? Not to sound creepy, but they are super cute/pretty
Ive done this before and it made my hair SOOOO DRRRYYYY and i got really upset but than i put more water and it worked . I have really really REALLY dark brown hair and nothing temporary ever works so im really happy this has worked
Gonna try this for doing harley quinn tutorial really soon... tysm :)
you look amazing with the blue in your hair!!!! i think you should put some blue hair dye into your tips or in pieces of your hair like that!
I saw your video and ordered the chalk pastels as it looks lovely. I'm so excited to do it to my hair 🙂
Hi Ellko, I really enjoy your videos :) It's easy to get roped into the newest hair trends and then when you try them at home, it's a huge fail. Seeing you try these hair hacks first, avoids hours of me experimenting with disappointment. Keep posting ! :)
Tip- dissolve some of the chalk to soften it in hot water... remove the hot coloured water and replace it with conditioner, mix the conditioner and the melted chalk together then just a apply with your fingers (wearing gloves) as you would with regular dye and it won't make your hair as dry ☺️
Be carful what u brush your hair with chalk in you hair cause it ruins your brush ... I found that out the hard way :/ rip graces hairbrush ( 2012 - 2015 )
😂
Grace Angarita I just wash my brush and it comes off
lol!
Hey!! I love your videos, especially the fail or holy grail ones!!
Just a suggestion for a fail or holy grail is using honey as a deep conditioner.
Just add PURE un proccessed honey on dry or wet hair (its gonna be super sticky so just part your hair to make it easier). Once you covered all your hair clip th ends near your scalp to hold it, put a plastic bag on your hair, a hot towel, then another plastic bag. Wait for 30 mins or more and then wash it out!!!
I had rlly dry hair and did this and my hair has felt so soft and shiny!!
Subscribed!! My one question is: Can we use oil pastels? They are kind of like chalk pastels, I just need to know if it's bad for hair, or if it will work. thank you!!
I use side walk chalk
same!!! I also had pastels so I tried those, they work very much the same.
Omg people please don't do this, this can cause serious damage to your hair. DONT TAKE HEAT TO THE CHALK
will it damage if you don't use heat??
quinnthegymnast nah
why?
yeah that is true but if you have a bought original chalk for hair in the instruction it says that you have to spray your hair with hair spray so I guess you can do that instead.
+Klio Bloom after you paint them of course
I used a fudge hair chalk on mine today I liked how my hair looked but I had a girl no reason scream top of lungs laugh in my face as she hung onto her boyfriend. it really upset me and hurt my ears which is what she wanted to do. people were looking at her though. I still feel upset as im actually really shy. thank you for the share though.
she's just so closed minded. don't even bother about her
You look so beautiful, girl! (With or without the hair chalk) and I really like the blue color on you.
I'm new to your channel and this is the first time I've commented, however I think if you had crushed the pastels into powder and then added some water to make a paste/ mask then it would have worked a lot better with less mess! Maybe give it another go and see, the blue colour looked awesome on you by the way!
The pink and the purple do look similar, but there is a difference. I can tell that it's pink. But I don't know if that's just because I have an eye for colour or not. I may have to try this, it looks really cool.
Love this video!! Do you think it would take less time for blonde hair??
please dye the tips of your hair blue :)
it really really really suits you
I used to do this in middle school back when my mom wouldn't let me dye my hair. I always found that oil pastels worked better but those might be less hair safe or something, never seen them mentioned in the lil pinterest/tumblr tutorials.
OH also if you're blonde enough you can use washable crayola markers to do something like this. No idea how safe it is but it works.
i love the bleu one its nice i think i might gonna try it
I loved the red on you!
you are truly awesome. 😊 I liked the blue and the red. I am very tempted to try this. 😊
I love you ELLKO!! You inspire me so much and I watch all your videos. Could you try pencil hair curling pin
soak just the end of the pastel in some water for a minute or two first, and I'd suggest dipping the strand in a glass of water. The more you're having to rub against your hair follicle, the more damage you're doing to it, so the wetter, the better. And yes, the darker your hair the brighter the color you'll have to use and use a wide tooth comb when drying it because it will ruin a hair brush. Chalk is also naturally drying, so this isn't a method I'd suggest to constantly use and may really be best for highlighted sections only. (Also, it can ruin clothes as even with hair spray after your hair is dry, some will transfer to your clothing.)
I knew about this before but I wanted to see some other ways of doing it and once I ombre pulped my friend honeys hair and her hair is a blondish ginger it looks gorgeous I totally recommend it
Use a leave in conditioner instead of the water will make it brighter and go on easier and also hairspray after will keep it from rubbing off
Omgg you should dye your hair! Like a blue / pruple dip dye or pink highlights ♥.♥
you can do the same thing with eye shadow the trick is instead of water you use hairspray it doesnt rub off as much and it still comes off in the shower
Maybe if you use hair spray the color won't rub off but it looks really good!
I'm excited to try this. Thanks for sharing
You should dye your ends purple, it looks awesome, really nice :)
Oh looks so awesome!!
I like your hair curled!
I have used pastels on my hair before and it worked really well for me mostly because I have light brown hair and I used blue and purple on my hair
Omg you will look so amazing and beautiful if you’ll dye all your hair purple! It matches you a LOT!!😍😍💕
love the Quality of your hair 😍
I use oil pastels to cur my hair, and I find that with dark hair like mine, it's best to use white and then put the colour over it
it looks so nice! I tried it and it was very easy no struggles.
I have done this before and here is a tip to speed it up!! Put your finger on the back of the piece of hair and hold the piece of chalk to your hair with your other finger on the opposite side then pinch the fingers towards each other and drag down. (Still get it pretty wet though both the hair and chalk)
Love your videos!! You should test the diy coffee mask for puffy eyes :)
Does the chalk get everywhere after you flat ironed/ Curled it?? And how long does it stay in your hair?
Super cool :) What curling iron do you use? The curls are stunning!!!
Yay! Another fail or holy Grail bideo! Whoot whoot!
I love your hair, it's so beautiful!
I wonder if you crushed the chalk and mixed it with water to form a paste, apply, let dry and brush out the excess if that would work?
It is cheaper and better then the stuff that is meant for hair, trust me I know,I have used the stuff before and is was a total fail!! But what you did seams to be much better!
HOLA Ellko!!!! one quick question (not related to the hair chalk).... Do you have any hacks for eyebrows a.k.a. waxing, plucking, shaving... of course not all of them but shaping them up????
i do that all the time and i absolutely love it
i cant wait to try this!! thanks for making this video
You're so beautiful! I love your confidence!
I have a question what if you use those kind of brushes that straighten you hair will it still work?
btw I love your videos you are so amazing at making them ❤❤
