Temporary Hair Highlights: Washable Options & How-To

There are several options for temporary hair highlights that wash out with shampoo:

* Hair Chalk: This is a popular option that comes in a stick or powder form. You apply it directly to dry hair, and it washes out with shampoo. Hair chalk is available in a wide range of colors.

* Hair Wax/Pomade: Some hair waxes or pomades are tinted and can be used to create temporary highlights or streaks. They are easy to apply and wash out.

* Hair Mascara: Similar to mascara for eyelashes, hair mascara comes in a small tube with a wand. It's good for precise application and small sections of hair.

* Hair Crayons: These are similar to hair chalk but often come in a crayon format, making them easier to grip and apply, especially for kids or beginners.

* Temporary Hair Color Sprays: These sprays deposit color on the hair's surface and wash out with shampoo. They're great for larger sections of hair or all-over color, but can sometimes be a bit messy.

When using any of these products, it's a good idea to:

* Test on a small, hidden strand of hair first to ensure you like the color and that it washes out easily.

* Protect your clothing by wearing an old towel or cape.

* Apply the product carefully to avoid staining your skin or spreading the color where you don't want it.

* Use hairspray after applying the color to help set it and prevent it from transferring to clothing.
