How long does it take to wash out hair that has been dyed with Kool-Aid? also...How do you recommend dying it?

Question

My friends and I were looking into streaking our hair with pink or purple and wanted to try the Kool-Aid trick. We weren't sure if it was permanent or how to actually do it. HELP!

Answer 1

I don't know about Kool Ade, but I know you can use food coloring. I mixed red and green together to get a nice shade of brown, so my daughter could be Posh Spice one Halloween. It doesn't stay in your hair long, but be careful it will dye your skin too.

Answer 2

It DOES NOT wash out. It literally stains your hair. I did it when I was 12. I had to go to an old-lady hair salon and have my whole head of hair dyed dark enough to cover it up. The other option was to cut it off.
