New Trend...Hair Chalking?

So I was perusing Pinterest and found a new trend that makes me think we could do it better with our paint perhaps? They are using Oil Pastels and Hair Spray.

What do you think?

I put paints in the hair sometimes. My daughter wanted rainbow hair this summer and I turned my son in a black haired vampire on halloween. I like this picture.

I think this would be a fantastic option for older girls who are too cool to have their faces painted, and could be priced just as high as tinsel and feathers if not more like "$X per color".
How long do the colors last when you do them Nancy? Do they rub off on clothing? How did you apply?

I like the picture and it looks like it could be fun. Never would have thought of putting oil pastels in hair.
I do use face paint in hair, mostly on myself and my daughter. But I usually do green in the hair when I do the joker.
And I did attempt to face paint my dog for halloween, if that counts.

I have used face paint on hair and didn't like because the colors weren't bright enough and didn't last. I prefer the hair coloring, on light hair looks so pretty and you can tell the difference with the neon colors.

When I am at festivals I spray dog's hair and charge 1 dollar.

Face paint in the hair does rub off on clothing, just as the paint on the body would.

***Disclaimer, the pic is from Pinterest, not my pic.***

It would be cool to see how to do this. Do you think it comes off on clothing?

I paint hair all the time for theatre and costume - face paint, then hair spray. Holds up well. You can buy products for the hair specifically if you want to.

This is cool... and I personally wouldn't have an issue with pastels in hair tips as it isn't in contact with the skin. The hair spray seals it so it shouldn't transfer.

I'm thinking I should try this tonight... I'm painting/glittering/blinging at a Gala for 6 hours this evening - eye bling, glitter tatt jewelry, etc. I'll just throw a comb and a can of hairspray in my kit right now and see if I can get any takers!!

AND I HAVE MY CAMERA.

YAY!!! Let us know how it goes! I'd love to see pics .

Here's a pic of some darker hair done with the pastels...again NOT my pic, snagged it from Pinterest.

So how would you go about applying it to a small section of hair? I'm thinking I would load a sponge and lay the hair over the sponge and "clamp" the sponge around the section of hair and pull it down to the end gently and repeat till it's colored enough. Is there a better way?

See I'm looking at the original idea, because dh has a million oil pastels.

The tutorial I found says to use Rembrandt brand because they're waxier than others and provide the most vibrant results. I think for now I'll stick to my face paints though...I don't own any oil pastels.

When doing for theater I just use a toothbrush.
