Hair Chalk For Any Hair Color

Our March catalog is giving us endless inspiration on how to use our hair chalk! After last week’s purple haze post, some of you asked us to do a post showing which color hair chalk works best with specific hair colors. Well, ask and you shall receive!

If you have blonde hair, you can pretty much use any of the hair chalk colors and get great results – with the exception of the yellow hair chalks, which just tend to blend in. I have dark brown hair and Brigette has lovely red hair, so we both experimented with the Free People hair chalk to see which colors worked best on us!

On red hair, light colors worked really well. We loved the mint green, slate blue, and yellow on Brigette’s hair! If you have red hair, try the green Ombre Hair Chalk set.

hair chalk for brown or black hair

I have dark brown hair, and on my hair and black hair, the colors that stand out the most are bright and vibrant shades like pink, magenta, mint green, and turquoise blue. If you have dark brown or black hair, try the pink or blue Ombre Hair Chalk.

Lastly, if you have blonde hair you can get great results with pretty much any of the hair chalk hues.  However, we really love a reddish/peach combo on blonde hair! If you have blond hair, try the pink Ombre Hair Chalk.

What are the benefits to your product?
I don’t mean this in a harsh way, but what’s to stop me from buying regular soft pastels for $5?

This hair chalk post makes me really excited for festival season. We thought this hair style would look pretty rad with some hair chalk detail! –> http://foxandgypsy.blogspot.com/2013/03/chain-reaction.html

It would be nice to see it on actual Dark brown or black hair. Any chance of posting a photo of a black haired (or darker brown haired) model?

Hi Clare — that’s me in the first photo! I curled my hair using a curling iron and then was actually just holding my hair up for the photo, so unfortunately it’s not really an updo.

Love this look, I bought some chalk pastels a few months ago with intentions of trying hair chalking, but I still haven’t tried it. Can you believe that?

Thanks for including red hair in this demo!. Mine is almost the same color as Brigette’s so I’ll definitely be picking up a set for this summer! I know you said you were just holding up your hair, but it’s still so pretty! I need to figure out how to do mine like that.

I just bought the full set of hair chalk with all the different colours and I absolutely love it! Even though I’m blonde and I’m sure all the colours would work on my hair colour its great to know which colours suit other hair colours as well.

So I really wanted to try the hair chalk out but my hair stylist said that since I have blonde hair the chalk would likely stain my hair for a while. Was this true for any of you guys? I really don’t want to stain my hair some janky washed out color….

So beautiful, I love your hair color, I want to have a try this color, thanks for sharing.

I have dark hair so tend to use bright colors. I’m currently loving a blue/orange combo which I braid.

Wow, these are really beautiful! Have stumbled across this by accident, but may think about using a subtle chalk for my wedding hair!

These hair chalks are pretty cool! Never seen them before! it’s a better solution when you dont want a permanent colour thats for sure or just a one night blast for a party or something. Thanks for sharing.

I am so glad you’ve made some for dark hair! My hair is such a dark brown that nothing shows on it. I’m gonna try the pink hair chalks, thanks FP :)

P.S. I am obsessed with your brand… I stalk your page on Shopbop almost daily to see what’s new, but now that your main page has international shipping (I’m in Singapore), I guess I’ll be stalking your homepage from now on! Hehe :)
