Hair crayons

Hair crayons are special pastel crayons for adding a specific color or shade to the hair.

Features of hair crayons

Colored hair crayons are an easy and safe alternative to hair dyes. Thanks to these crayons, you can dye the strands in bright colors, create original hairstyles and lay the strands in a certain shape. Curls can be highlighted in braids, as well as apply a gradient with a soft transition from one color to another, as well as from a dark shade to a light tone.

Crayons for hair have positive reviews as original means of fast dyeing using dry pastels or an oily substance. Hair crayons can be used to color the ends and brighten the top of the strands.

Before dyeing, it is necessary to condition the hair using protective and moisturizing agents (balms, masks, etc.). It is better for fair-haired girls to use a special shampoo to maintain the brightness and shine of the hair.

Colored hair crayons are easy to wash and rinse off with water, and are best applied during the day and removed before bed. Good reviews of hair crayons are lightweight dye products that do not weigh down the hair, do not destroy its structure and allow you to experiment with color, choosing the most suitable option.

How to use hair crayons

Hair chalks must be used following certain rules of application and care. The final result and the desired coloring effect depend on how the hair chalks were used.

The process of applying crayons to hair takes place in several stages, which include:

• preparation of special tools and devices (tongs, iron, varnish, protective spray, hair dryer, etc.);
• shampooing without further application of conditioner;
• slight moistening of hair crayons, the pigment of which becomes saturated and resistant from moisture;
• coloring strands in one direction along the entire length (or only the ends) with one or more colors, as well as simulating a gradient;
• using a protective spray to enhance the shade;
• drying and curling hair with tongs or ironing;
• fixing individual strands or the entire hairstyle with hairspray.

After applying the crayons, comb your hair with a comfortable and delicate wooden comb. The strands can be twisted before applying the pigment so that they are better painted over the entire length.

Among the various types of hair crayons, it is better to choose soft pastels that will color your hair well, will not crumble and last long enough. Oil pastels quickly lose color, make hair heavier and do not wash off well. In order to choose a color, you need to paint one strand and, if necessary, wash it off, and the alternation of several colors will allow you to choose the most optimal shade.

Pastel crayons are not recommended to be applied frequently, as they can dry out your hair. Nourishing conditioners, protective balms and moisturizing masks can be used as good hair protection.
