PickyKidPix Wants This: Hair Chalk (and a discount coupon)

Posted on December 13, 2013May 18, 2024 by Pragmatic Mom

PickyKidPix is obsessed with hair styling which she is learning via YouTube videos, mostly through Cute Hair Styles. She’s watched all 200+ of them. I can actually recognize the videos from the audio alone!!

She gotten quite good at complex braids and have moved on to hot styling products including curling irons and flat irons. When I told her I had an offer to try out Hair Chalk, she was all over it! “YES!”, she said. And her disdain for my blogging has moved incrementally but slightly in a more favorable position.

I guess all the rage is ombre hair and/or dipped dyed ends. I’m not too enthusiatic about permanent hair color for my tween but I am ok with Hair Chalk.

If you don’t know what Hair Chalk is, it’s temporary method to add some serious vibrant color to your hair. These colored hair-chalk sticks from Ellore Femme help you to easily paint rainbow hues onto strands. The easy-to-blend dyes are formulated with natural plant pigments, rendering the chalk non-toxic. All 24 colors easily wash out in the shower. (Yes, water soluable!!)

  • Spontaneous hair color
  • Set with heat
  • Blendable colors
  • Nontoxic, natural plant pigments
  • Washes out after one shower
  • Use on wet hair
  • 24 vibrant shades
  • May transfer onto clothing during application
  • May cause respiratory irritation if inhaled (don’t inhale the chalk dust)

If you are interested, my readers can save $30 Off Ellore Femme 24 peice Hair Chalk set using promo code BL15 if you go here.
Regular Price: US $44.99

Blog Price: $14.99 (with Promo Code: BL15)

      Hi Erica,
      I would have never heard of it either but my 11-year-old daughter in 6th grade is obsessed with hair styling and all things hair! She wanted to go to hair school this year but my husband put his foot down so she’s learning via video and trial by error. She gets her friends to act as hair models for her complex braiding, hair straightening or hair styling. She just did my eyebrows last night and I was wary but I have to say she did a better job that I do!

      Apparently, she tells me that hair chalk is not as popular with her set as it was a few years ago but she’d love to try it out to see how well it adheres to the hair. Her sister will not allow her to use her art supplies so that’s why she wanted this set. It does look EXACTLY like chalk pastels for art though! I wonder if they are any different!

    I believe these are just chalk. 🙂 My sister likes these kind of things! 🙂 My mom lets her use them sometimes. 🙂
