In case you’re from the US, you’re bound to know that Memorial Day is fast approaching, and chalking your hair with red, white and blue is a great way to show off your patriotism while trying out the edgy new trend. Don’t worry — it’s not permanent!

Of course, this tutorial works for anyone at all, no matter where you’re from. So if you’re not feeling festive or simply want bright purple streaks in your hair instead, this tutorial is still definitely for you. Note: For our tutorial we used brunette hair, but blonde hair certainly works just as well.

Happy Chalking!
