Hair Chalking

As a brunette who likes her own natural hair color (and would not like to ruin it), I struggle with the urge to be trendy and dye my hair crazy colors.

Now, I know these aren't the best pictures, but believe me, in person it looks really good. This technique is perfect for days when you want to show a little school or holiday spirit, or even days when you want a bit of your hair to match your outfit. It's so stupidly-easy that you have to try it!
