Hair Chalk for Kids Jumbo Hair Chalk Pens Washable Hair Color Temporary Dye for Girls Safe Scented Barbie Girls Chalk Hair Birthday Cosplay DIY, Halloween, Christmas Gift 12 Bright Colors

My daughter and granddaughters LOVE these. The silver doesn't show up real well as silver....it looks more gray. The gold is more a yellow. The other colors really pop and show up well. There is a very slight sparkle to them when applied, but its not really sparkly looking once on. I would say these are best if you're doing smaller chunks of color as they do go on kind of greasy. I'm not sure how large sections of hair would come out with these. My girls use plain old artist oil pastels for larger portions of hair. These wash out easily and do stay overnight to a point. There's definite fading by morning, but I haven't seen stains in pillow cases or clothing so far. They seem to go a long way as they get a lot f use at our house and there's still plenty left. A little pricey, but I would recommend.

Detailed review: I dye my hair a lot, so naturally, my little beauty wants to be like mommy. She is only 11, and I am not one that feels this is old enough to put real dye in her hair. So we bought several kinds of temporary hair chalks over the years (this part is NOT about THIS hair chalk). From compacts to combs and pastel shaped chalks or oils. They all gave us fried, impossible to move, smelly, waxy, color bleeding, rat nest, and/or dirty looking hair outcomes. That's where I did some digging and was absolutely excited for christmas when I found these. (This part IS about THIS hair chalk) The reviews were mixed so I took a gamble and I will NEVER BUY ANOTHER BRAND OTHER THAN THIS ONE AGAIN! We were having a girls spa evening before a school night shower. And she asked to try these pens in her hair. I was terrified as it was a school night and other chalks left color in her fair hair for weeks (she goes to a private school, and they have a 0 tolerance policy for hair dye). Well, trying to keep the good momentum of the night going, I let her...and we got carried away with a rainbow spectrum in her bangs (see photo). It was awesome, drew on easy with a support under the hair (I used the box it came in), it has a texture like lipstick when drawing on, our first try I went a bit heavy for a color trial. It smelled GREAT, not overpowering at all (yellow = lemon, green = apple, blue = blueberry, pink = berry or cherry?, purple = grape, silver = gingerbread/christmas?). The colors were solid, so in her strawberry blonde hair it was vibrant but still lifted to show a true shade. In darker hair I imagine it would be just fine as well. We waited for about a minute, a bit more than the directions guided, then...BRUSHED THROUGH THE BANGS WITH EASE, THAT'S RIGHT! It was a nice natural feeling, a tad oily in our thin Caucasian hair, but not enough to look dirty. It wasn't dry, it was moveable, and brushing and lightly playing with it caused no bleed to clothes, sofa, hair brush, forehead, or hands! I took pictures and video as I was sure I had found the holy grail of temporary hair chalk for me and my several other friends girls...then one girlfriends reminded me..."Isn't it a school night? Your gonna be in trouble! :O" OOooOOoo nooooo! It needs to come out tonight and be 100% out for tomorrow D: What did I do?! These 5 colors (pink, yellow, green, blue, purple) will NEVER all come out, pink has stayed in forever with other chalks in the past. I was doomed for sure, right? Well, I helped my girl in the shower and told her to focus on her bangs color getting washed out. To my surprise in like 3 minutes she called me back to check her hair...IT WAS 100% GONE, NO TRACE! I asked her what she did and she said, "I just washed it under the water, and it got kinda goopy feeling for a second, then I saw the color go down the drain." I was a amazed! Her hair feels healthy, no damage, and no sign of color! If you want a night or day style that doesn't follow you or give away your fun for a weekend afterwards, lets your hair look nice, and doesn't easily bleed, GET THIS! Just DO NOT wear it out in the rain ;)

This was the first time I have ever used hair chalk. I used these a couple times on two different kids hair. Both have brown hair. The colors came out okay. Blond hair would probably have worked best. There is a little smell to it, but not completely unpleasant. It definitely smells better than hairspray. I was very happy with how easy it was to wash out of my kids hair. It did take two different washes to get it all out, but it came out great and did not leave any discoloration in their hair. I really liked the pink, blue, purple, and green colors. They showed up really well. The gold looked more like a funky yellow color and the silver was really more of a grey. I was not a fan of the silver. The only reason for the 4 stars is that the application process is very difficult. It took at least 30 minutes to try to mostly cover my child's hair with this stuff and I still missed a lot of spots and wasted a lot of chalk on my hands. The chalk also makes the hair kind of stiff and sticky. I brushed the hair after applying and you lose a little bit of the color, but the hair did not soften back up and stayed stiff and stuck together a little. It wasn't too big of a deal since it was in a pony tail, but if their hair had been hanging loosely, I don't think it would have looked very good.

The colors are GREAT!! lasts all day, but like most temporary coloring products this product also makes your hair stuff and sticky (the reason why I am giving 3 stars). I have tried excessive combing/brushing of my hair where I place the color but it still sticks and stiffens (in one picture i shared you can see my fingers are stuck in my hair where the color starts and another picture shows how the hair sticks/stiffens). Applying the color is like coloring your hair with a marker your fingers and hands WILL get messy but the plus is it is easily removed with simply water. The color can also rub off on clothing (As you can hopefully see in my pics). With this said the color also washed out of your hair and clothing extremely easily, basically with just water so one wash and done. Even though I have 3 stars I do recommend this product!! Again ALL the colors show up great on my blonde hair and on my daughter's light blonde hair (with the exception of the silver for her hair, it shows just not as bright like the other colors) if you but this product have fun, I recommend using this product on updos or a set style that doesn't need a lot of movement
