Disadvantages of staining with pastel color
Hair dyeing with colored crayons is still not liked by all girls.

Do not forget that chalk is an absorbent, which means that it draws moisture from the curl. Do not abuse this method of coloring, so that your hair would look not only spectacular, but also well-groomed. And, of course, colored dust, which peels off when rubbing hair with chalk, paints everything around. Do not forget to wear gloves and cover the floor and furniture in the place of the procedure with newspapers or oilcloth.
