So what would it look like if I used Kool-Aid to color my hair?
Like, would it look like a real bright pink if I used hot pink? Or would it look gross? Can someone also show me a pic of what it might look like?

Answer 1

Back in the day, I used Kool-Aid to color my hair for a play I was in and it turned out about this color:

My hair color was similar to yours at the time.

As a person above me said, you will probably get a better color using Manic Panic vegetable based dye...it is temporary as well..but Kool Aid will come out in 2 or three washes where Manic Panic can take a few weeks.

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.

Answer 3

It won't come out bright pink. I'd recommend you use food coloring or manic panic...you'll get much better results. If you do use kool aid....first off use the unsweetened kind, add some water to make it into a thick paste (you're going to need more than one packet.) Apply to desired areas with a toothbrush and let it sit for at least 45 minutes before rinsing. Food coloring is easier and lasts longer. Same concept, either liquid or paste food colorings can be used. Manic Panic cots about ten dollars for a tube or tub. www.manicpanic.com has more info...it's good stuff and i let my daughters use it.

Answer 4

It'll look cool if you bleach the hair first- but really, just get Manic Panic. I understand why you'd want to use Kool-Aid, but if you do it wrong it will be gross.

Answer 5

your so cute don't change your hair, though if u were going to you would have to lighten your hair then do a pink dye. i think the pink kool aid would just coat your hair pink and show up lightly, like if u were in a bright light or outdoors .it wouldn't make ur hair PINK

Answer 6

I have dyed my hair with Kool-Aid b4. It doesnt work. I used marker instead.

Answer 7

I know from experience, my friend did this with red. It did not turn out right and it was by far the worst thing for his hair. He got split ends and it had to grow out or be cut out. Dont do it!!

Answer 8

Ive never herd of using cool aid,m sure it would do something, but i dont know what.. but i love colored hair on girls...my wife had hot pink once...and it was HOTT...=)

Answer 9

Answer 10
