Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

One or Two packets of unsweetened kool-aid (flavor and color of your choice)
Hair Conditioner
A Small Bowl
A Stirring Utensil
Alot of time

Step1

Make sure you have all the materials. If you don't have any Hair Conditioner, you can use Mayonaisse as a substitute.

Step2

Open the Kool-Aid packet(s), and dump them into the bowl.

Step3

Put enough Hair Conditioner into the bowl as needed to cover the parts of your hair you'd like dyed.

Step4

Mix the Kool-Aid and the Hair Conditioner VERY thoroughly.

Step5

Me with the Green Kool-Aid mixture in my hair Once the mixture is complete, apply to your hair and leave in your hair AS LONG AS POSSIBLE for the best results.

Step6

Once you cannot have the mixture in your hair any longer, rinse it out. DO NOT SHAMPOO IMMEDIATELY.

Step7

Dry your hair with a blow dryer.

Step8

Me after 1 1/2 hours of leaving the Kool-Aid mixture explained here, in my hair, then rinsing and drying. Ta-Da! You have just dyed your hair with Kool-Aid!

Tips & Warnings

This process is intended for people with bleached hair. Your results will be at their peak if your hair is bleached in the spot(s) where you would like the Kool-Aid to settle in and take it's form.
DO NOT use SWEETENED Kool-Aid. If you use sweetened Kool-Aid, you're asking for a big mess and you're also asking for bees to swarm at your head.

on 4/12/2008 umm.... so like i wanted to dye my hair blue
will it be in my hair after 1 day of washing it out

on 3/1/2008 Yes, you can definitely try the Kool-Aid with your hair. It should work, but you may end up with whatever color you're using plus blue, so remember to do the color math before choosing a color.

And thanks for the awesomeness! lol
