Make your own hair dye!

I love being experimental with my hair so I tried out a new trick the other day. I recently bought the Opia hair chalk in Pennys/Primark and I found them very good! The colours came out so vibrant on my hair but the down side to them is that it would take a long time too apply the colour too a big section of your hair and also I found them quite drying. I figured out a better way to dye my hair with the chalk so if you want to find out how I did this then keep reading :) 

I bought the Opia hair chalk for 4 euros in Pennys, There are 5 colours in the packet that you can use. They can be applied on wet or dry hair and they wash out.

My hair is bleached blonde so it will take colour easy as it is a blank canvas for hair dye. When mixing the Crushed chalk with the conditioner, the colour that is made in the bowl will be the colour that will come out on your hair if it is a light enough colour and if it is left on long enough. 

What you need

- Hair chalk

- white conditioner

- a mortar and pestle

- mixing bowl and spoon

- gloves

Steps

1. First I picked the colour that I wanted to apply to my hair.

2. I broke off about 1/3 of the chalk. 

3. I crushed the chalk in the mortar and pestle until it was a very fine powder.

4. Then I added the powder into my mixing bowl with white conditioner in it.

5. Mix together until it is smooth.

6. I washed my hair normally then left it wet.

7. I sectioned my hair so it was easier to apply the dye.

8. I applied the dye to the ends of my hair with my hands for a "dip dye" effect.

9. I left the dye in my hair for about 10 -15 minutes.

10. I rinsed out the colour and then dried my hair.

I hope you enjoyed this post and found it helpful.

Don't be afraid to try this as it will wash out after one or two washes!

I hope your having a great weekend.
