How to Choose the Right KoolAid Flavor for Hair Dye

Dying hair with KoolAid is so common it's almost a right of passage for teens and young adults. Kool Aid hair dye isn't permanent and will fade within a month, but you get a great new hair color if you take time to learn the KoolAid dyes that are right for your hair.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Know which colors and flavors of Kool Aid your hair will take. If you have blond or whit/gray hair, you can dye your hair almost any color of KoolAid. If you have red or auburn hair, stick with orange, cherry, black cherry, and grape. If you are a brunette, you'll get better results with black cherry or grape.

2. Know how to properly mix KoolAid flavors to achieve your desired hair color. For example, if you want a blue violet color, use blue raspberry and grape in the ratio 2:1. For aquamarine, 2:1 lime and blue raspberry. For neon green, you can use a combination of lime and lemonade flavors.

3. 
   use pink lemonade, not cherry

   Know how to mix colors for the desired intensity. For example, light pink is a very popular hair dye color for blondes. However, instead of using a diluted mixture of cherry Kool Aid, you will get better results if you use the pink lemonade flavor.

4. After you have selected the right KoolAid flavors for hair dye, you should mix it with conditioner to make the dye, and leave it on your hair for about an hour to get a good hair color.
