Have you ever wanted funky colors and delicious flavor in your hair? Well then read on!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

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
  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

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

  4. Step 4

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

  5. Step 5

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

  7. Step 7

    Dry your hair with a blow dryer.

  8. Step 8

    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 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
