Easy as 1, 2, 3! Non-Permanent Hair Colour

Found this Colorsmash Hair Shadow in a gift bag from NXNE the other day so I’m putting it to good use.  You never know what you’ll find in those things! I love hair chalk but  find it quite messy and it makes my hair dry. I may have seen this easy non-permanent hair colour on Pinterest or made it up one day, I can’t remember. Since I have blonde hair, it’s really easy to tint but I don’t like to stick with one shade too long. Here’s my recipe for adding some sass to your hair without drying or damaging it. 1. Shave off some chalk into a small bowl and mix w/ conditioner. Use a knife or other tool you find around. Something that will make it into a power. It might stain so don’t use the good muddler or marble mortar and pestle from the kitchen.  If you don’t have hair chalk you can use artist chalk from any art store (don’t use pastel or sidewalk chalk). Mix with any conditioner in a plastic container/bowl. 2. Mix the paste and put on your hair. To make the colour more intense/last a bit longer longer you can wrap your hair saran wrap to add heat. Don’t wrap your face. The actual colour of your hair will not be this dark. DNO’T FREAK OUT. Leave on for 10-30 min. 3. Rinse out. Most of the colour will go down the drain. This can be kinda messy. Use a dark towel. Once you blow dry you’ll have a dreamy light tint to your hair. VOILA! I’ve tried this with just abut every shade/brand of chalk (Kevin Murphy, professional brands, art store materials) and they all wash out in in 1-2 days. This one time I left saran wrap on with purple chalk-conditioner and the tint lasted 4 days before washing out completely. Seal…

a kwik shave

Spring is in the air and I was feeling like an update. I get my hair done by Darren at his lofty salon in the heart of Queen Street West. I love it! Darren you did an awesome job! It’s super blonde and I got a new shave. I’m really happy. So glad I had camera with me this time. You can get Darren to do your hair too if you want it to look beautiful.

gettin’ ma hair did

Tonight I am heading over to the Darren Kwik Studio, Queen West to get my hair done. It has been ages and I’m quite excited about it. Darren has been doing hair for ages and I’m looking forward to seeing him again. It’s been years! I’ve read a bunch of reviews of his salon and it has an excellent reputation. Darren was a hairstylist for the 2008 Much Music Video Awards and also took part in Redken’s Annual ONE X ONE Cut-A-Thon which raised awareness and funds in support of child poverty in Canada and around the world. Stay tuned for how beautiful my hair looks tomorrow!!
