They are basically the same thing. One diffence may be that the chalk marketed for hair contains less harmful chemicals. You can still purchase chalk soft pastels with less harmful chemicals - the ones geared towards children are often the best bet. As for damage to your hair... yes, there is potential for that. If you have overly dry or danaged hair this probably isn't the best thing to try. And, if you are doing this every day your hair will suffer.

Second, the chalk will apply better if your hair has NOT been recently washed and already has some product in it. Also, you do not want to brush your hair after you've applied the chalk to it. Let it air dry or use a gentle heat (curling iron) to "set" the color. Be aware that if your hair is already fairly dry, chalking might not be the best thing for it.
