Hey, i'm wanting to dye my hair with koolaid (I have long, dark brown hair)... I know how to do it, I'm pretty sure (mix it with conditioner, apply, wrap in saran wrap, wait a few hrs, rinse it out), but will it bleed onto clothes? Especially if I sweat, i have a soccer game tomorrow.
Thanks sooo much!

Oh yeah, and to answer the questions, I am 14 yrs old, my mom says it's ok, my friend (who is my age) has done it before but I can't reach her to ask her this question. If anyone has actually DONE this, can you tell me if it bled? Thanks!!

You can not dye your hair with Kool-aid. It will only stain it temporally. I could barely tell I had any in my hair when it was dark brown. However once you rinse it out you lose the strong color. You could use a hair gel and mix with that and put it on, but IT WILL run and stain clothes and pillow cases.
I eventually had to bleach my hair "professional hair bleach, not household bleach" and tone the oranges down with 001 Platinum Blue and hair bluing, which can be found in any beauty supply. Also, Kool-aid will run and stain clothes and pillow cases. ***Hair bleaching can cause damage to your hair an scalp if you over do it*** But, never had my hair fall out.
However, I did have success with black cherry and blue raspberry on platinum white hair. But again it will faded out the first time I washed it.
There are some temporally hair color, maybe that would be the way to go.

How to dye hair with Kool Aid
A cheap and easy way to dye your hair wild colors with Kool Aid.
So you've decided to change your hair color to something a little bolder. Well, good for you. But before we begin, you need to make sure that's this is going to be ok. People, especially parents, tend to freak over wild hair color. So if you have a real nine to five job, or you're under eighteen or still living with your parents, make sure you have given this some thought. You may just want to buy a wig instead.
Still with me? Great! Now, first of all, you need to determine if bleaching is going to be necessary. Brunettes will need to bleach to achieve any kind of noticeable color, as will redheads. If you do have red hair, please understand that this may not work at all. Red is the hardest color to dye over. If you have darker hair, but all you're looking for is a tint of color, you don't need to bleach. Blondes will not need to either.
Do you want streaks or over all color? The basic instructions are the same for both. The difference is that streaks should be separated from the rest of the hair by wrapping in foil.
Bleaching is relatively simple. Buy a bleach kit from the store. You want a kit that specifically states bleaching. A blonding kit will not be enough. Mix the ingredients according to the directions in the box and apply to hair in a well-ventilated room. Put on a shower cap and wait the recommended amount of time. At this point, check the hair to see how much it has bleached out. If not enough, put the cap back on and wait another ten minutes. Keep checking your hair until it had turned a yellowish white color. Then go rise the bleach completely out. Do not use the conditioner that comes with the kit. This will close off your hair to the color.
Next you need to mix up the Kool Aid. Choose a color you like, the brighter the better. Mix two packets of unsweetened mix with a double quarter sized amount of conditioner. I cannot stress enough that this must be unsweetened Kool Aid. If you use the sugar-added type, your hair will be a mess. If you haven't bleached your hair first, go wet it. Put on a pair of gloves and apply the Kool Aid to your hair. If this is not enough to thickly coat the hair, mix up some more and continue. Wrap your head in plastic wrap and leave it. Leave it as long as you can stand it, all day if you can. The longer you leave it, the better the color will adhere to the hair.
Over time, the color will fade out. If you want it out quicker, toothpaste will speed up this process, but if you bleached the hair or you have really light hair normally, it will not remove the color totally.

Depends on how long you leave the kool-aide on. I boiled water with red kool-aide and soaked a section of my sisters hair in it for 30 minutes. She had to cut the color out. Never washed out.

Hey. Stop. Yes. It will definitely bleed. Do yourself and your hair a favor. If short on money buy a dye product at wally world. If not get to a salon. Trust me. If your hair doesn't look good. You don't look good. No variation there.

Yes it will bleed, its not permanent and it makes your hair feel gross. Go buy some cheap non-permanent hair dye. Much better for your hair, won't bleed, will cover better and will make your hair shiny and nice.

umm....ok.
It may bleed onto your clothes...we all know what happens when you dribble it down the front of you. I can only imagine wet sticky hair dripping onto your clothes.
After its dry, it probably wont bleed anymore.

I am guessing it will, and that dying your hair with kool-aid probably isn't a good idea, lol.

I think you're biggest concern will be is if someone gets thirsty and yells "HEY KOOL AID". then your hair might fall out.
