Kool Aid Hair Dye Recipes

VERY COOL KOOLAID HAIR DYE

Steps:

• Be very sure to use UNSWEETENED.
• Mix one packet of Kool-Aid with the water in a pot.
• Heat until boiling, stirring.
• Remove from heat and cool to a temperature that is warm but not hot.
• Dip as much hair as possible into the mix.
• Then, with your head over the pot, ladle the kool-aid over the hair.
• Do this for 15 minutes.
• Wring out hair and pat dry with paper towels.
• Don't wrap in a towel as it will absorb too much colour.
• At this point you could wrap your hair in plastic wrap and leave overnight or for several hours.
• Then, uncover and let dry.
• After it dries, rinse repeatedly, shampoo and condition.
• Note: The excess colour may stain your skin.
• Smear petroleum jelly on exposed skin.
• Even if staining occurs, it will scrub off.

KOOL-AID HAIR DYE

Steps:

• Gather up all of your supplies.
• Pour two cups of water into a pan or pot.
• Pour the two Kool-Aid packets into the water. #SpoonTip: I used blue and red Kool-Aid to make a purple color.
• Then, put the pan/pot on the stove. The heat should be between medium and high. Keep the heat on until the Kool-Aid mixture boils for one to two minutes.
• Immediately pour the concoction into a container, bowl, or cup (whatever you plan on dipping your hair in).
• Make sure your hair is combed. To ensure the best results, make sure your hair has recently been washed. To avoid staining a good shirt, simply throw on an old one.
• If you are opting not to dye your whole head, put your hair up in a ponytail. If not, let your hair loose.
• Next pick how much of your hair you want to be dyed. In this case, I used 3-4 inches, but you can do more or less. Dip this amount of hair in the mixture and leave in for 15-30 minutes depending on hair darkness. For lighter hair 15 minutes will do, but for brown to black hair 20-30 minutes. The longer you leave your hair in the more likely it will be brighter and last longer. The color should typically last 2-4 weeks depending on how often you wash it.
• Voilà. Style as you want and make your self an actually cup of Kool-Aid for your hard work. Cheers!
