How To Dye Your Hair With Kool Aid

Make sure that your hair is completely dry. For best results, dye hair that has been washed the day before. Hair that is either too dirty or too damp will not absorb as much color.

Brush out any tangles. Use a brush or comb to de-tangle your hair, and make sure that there are no styling products (gel, hairspray, etc.) in your hair prior to coloring.

Pour two packets of sugar-free Kool-aid and two cups of water into a pot. Place the pot on the stove and bring the mixture to a boil. Kool-aid is available in a variety of colors: try red (cherry), pink (raspberry), and purple (grape). For a more sheer color, dilute the mixture with extra water. For a more vibrant result, use less water and/or more Kool-aid.

Remove the pot from heat. Put Kool-aid into mug or bowl. Dip the ends of your hair into the liquid and hold for 3-5 minutes, up to 10, if hair is really thick. This will allow the color to set. Determine how much of your hair you want to color. For just the tips, submerge 1–2 inches (2.5–5.1 cm) of hair in the liquid. For a more dramatic look, try dipping 4–5 inches (10.2–12.7 cm) of your hair.

Remove hair from the liquid and pat dry. You can either use paper towels or a bath towel that you don't mind staining (color will leak onto the towel).

Allow hair to dry completely before washing. Enjoy your new look! Remember that some Kool-aid contains sugar, so after it dries, then rinse your hair promptly to get rid of stickiness and avoid attracting bugs. If you want to get rid of the colour faster use vinegar, baking soda and washing your hair more often. If you want to help the colour last longer wash your hair less and use a shampoo for colour treated hair. The colour will last for 1 month or more. Much healthier, cheap and natural than other temporary hair dyes!

Enjoy your new look!!!
