Music fest, beach getaway, pool party, all are the perfect occasion to go bold and get noticed. So if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to try out electric-hued highlights, look no further.

You'll need: Soft pastel chalk. A small spray bottle filled with water A flat iron or curling iron Rubber gloves A old towel or t-shirt you don't mind getting color on.

Step 1: Spray a 1-inch section of hair with water. You don't need to soak the entire strand, just go as high up as you want the color to be.

Step 2: Color on your hair with one of the pastels. I recommend choosing about three colors, and putting one at a time in your hair.Start with the lightest shade first, since, as you can see, the color gets allover your gloves and you'll end up with a muddied version of the same huethroughout if you go dark to light.

Step 3: Wait for your hair to air dry.

Step 4: Using the curling or flat iron, go over each colored strand. This sets the colors in your hair, so it will last longer. Then brush and style however you normally would!
