How to use crayons for hair

Modern trends in the world of hairdressing leave their mark on society. More and more girls and women are striving to maintain the health and beauty of their hair, while radically transforming. Persistent and semi-resistant pigments adversely affect the general condition of the hair, which makes it necessary to search for alternative methods of dyeing. Experienced craftsmen have developed their own technology, which allows the use of crayons on hair of any color, structure and length. Consider the important aspects in order.

Choice of hair chalk

Before proceeding with direct dyeing, you must choose the crayon that suits you. Shop shelves are overflowing with diverse products that differ in composition, price range, form of release and, of course, color palette.

1. First, pay attention to the column "Composition". If you have dry, prone to hair loss and cross-section, get fortified complexes (group A, B, E, D) with oils and keratin. For people with a normal and combined type of hair, moisturizing crayons are suitable, which contain a large amount of water, aloe vera, and medicinal extracts. People with oily hair should prefer ordinary crayons without natural and essential oils, vitamins and other additives.
2. After studying the composition, select the appropriate crayon according to the form of release. Products can be oily and dry. The first is a small jar containing creamy tint paste, the second looks like a pencil. As practice shows, it is more convenient to use oily crayons, since they are more even and easier to apply (do not require wetting curls). However, the pricing policy of such drugs is much higher than when buying a pencil.
3. It is generally accepted that tinted crayons are intended for confident and young people who want to stand out from the gray mass. Choose your favorite shade, experiment, combine colors with each other. It is important to understand that at any time you can wash off unsuccessful staining.
4. Hairdressers specializing in hair colorization have derived a basic color combination based on the initial shade of curls. If you are a brunette or brown-haired woman, try dyeing the strands with turquoise, green, blue, purple, golden or white pigment. Light ladies will suit pink, red, gray, raspberry, black or red chalk.
5. Do not purchase hair crayons in underpasses and markets. Buy products of well-established companies that guarantee quality. The most popular of them are considered to be “Faber Cassell Sonnet” (Faber Castell), “Ko-i-Noar” (Koh-i-noor), “Master Pastel” (Master Pastel). The above manufacturers produce 35-50 series of shades.

Technology for using colored crayons for hair

Colored crayons - a relatively new product in the field of hairdressing, which requires attention to detail. We give step-by-step instructions and highlight important points. So let's get started.

1. Change into old clothes, as the paste is poorly removed from the fabric. Place a plastic film on the floor or cover the surface with newspapers. This must be done so that loose powder (crayon residue) does not eat into the coating. Important! Despite the fact that the crayons are quite safe, they color the skin of the hands. Wear rubber or silicone gloves without fail.
2. Comb your hair with a comb with thick and sparse teeth, move from the tips to the basal area.Use only wooden hairdressing tools that do not cause a statistical effect. After combing, walk along the strands with your hands, imitating the movements of the comb. Important! In the process of processing hair with crayons, refuse to use combs. Otherwise, the pigment will fall off, causing uneven coloring.
3. Next you should choose a convenient application option. Girls with light hair are recommended to dye dry curls, while dark-haired young ladies are better to pre-moisten strands with cold filtered water for a more lasting effect.
4. Start using pigment. It is important to remember forever that the chalk is applied from top to bottom, that is, from roots to ends. For convenient distribution of the composition, place the strand on an unfolded palm, color the curl on all sides, evaluate the result. You may need to manipulate several times to get extra intensity.
5. After applying the pigment, leave the composition on the hair for a quarter of an hour, then gently comb with a large large comb. Turn the iron on the middle mark (130-150 degrees), align the strands. Without fail, spray them with a strong fixation varnish so that the chalk does not crumble and dye the clothes with which the curls are in contact.
6. If possible, treat your hair with thin locks to get a uniform color. In cases where there is no time, color bulk curls with chalk solution. Preparing it is quite simple: pour boiling water into a container, grate chalk on a kitchen grater, wait for the powder to dissolve and cool the mixture. After that, dip the curl in a container with a solution, wait 1-2 minutes. Next, comb the strand, dry it with a hairdryer. It is important to understand that with this method of staining the strands will acquire a less intense shade.
7. It is worth considering that crayons to one degree or another damage the hair structure. It is not recommended to resort to their use constantly, the optimal frequency of the procedure ranges from 1 to 2 times in 10 days. In this case, try not to dye the entire hair as a whole, but separate curls.

Important!If you have taken the habit of regularly using colored crayons, take care of proper care for your hair. Make nourishing and moisturizing masks, use balms, serums and hydrogels.

Practical recommendations

1. To get a rich tone, moisten your hair with water before the procedure. Color the strands with crayons until you achieve the desired result.
2. Combine colors among themselves, make the transition from one shade to another.
3. If you want to get unevenly colored strands, twist them into a tourniquet. In this case, the flagella can be of different thicknesses.
4. Girls with curly hair are recommended to process curls with different intensities to give romance to the image and create light chaos.
5. Do not dye your hair in a similar way in rainy and wet weather. Otherwise, upon contact with water, the varnish coating will be washed off or softened, which will lead to washing off of chalk and deterioration of clothing.

It is easy to use colored crayons for hair, if you have sufficient knowledge and adhere to step by step instructions. Choose your favorite color, experiment with intensity, make transitions. If desired, color individual strands, not the entire head of hair. Take care of your hair, make masks and use nutritious serums.
