Red Kool-Aid Dip Dye

Kaylaa

I wanna do this to my whole hair.. im blonde like u!:) will my whole hair fade to a pink??! how can i get it out without bleach?

Dana

I'm thinking that it will eventually fade out, just like any dye. My hair is pink in the last picture because I bleached some of the red out and put actual pink into my hair. After a while my hair turned a bit orangey, and after that, it was just my bleached ends. I hope that helps, be careful dying your whole head when the water is still hot!!!!

Does The Boiled Water Have To Be Hot When Dippinq Hair Or Cold

Dana

It should still be pretty hot, or at least warm. I don't recommend sticking your hair in boiling water, let it cool off for a couple of minutes. How hot or cold it is might change the intensity of the color too, so play around and have fun!

If u have really dark brown hair how many packets of kool aid do i need and how long would i leave it in

Dana

I used 2 packets, from all the youtube videos I watched, When you have dark hair all the kool-aid will do is tint your hair, the color won't be as bright. If you want to bleach your hair to make it bright, go ahead, otherwise try a little piece of hair and see how you like it. Hope it works :)

Dana

I just washed the excess out in the sink and dried it. the color stays in by itself really well. No, I don't sleep with it covered, it doesn't bleed.

After you have it sit in the bowl for a certain amount of time what did you do to your hair to have the color stay in?

Jaslyn

It should just stay in

Dana

I just washed the stickiness out and there it was! The color stays in by itself, smells good too :)

and do you have to sleep with it covered

i was planning on dieing my hair with this product but does it damage your hair after its done fading?

Jean Anderson

No it's actually the safest way known to dye your hair

Dana

Yes I wash my hair every day, the first day it bled a little but after that I didn't ever see it wash off. It's really nice because it last so long until you want it out. My hairdresser tried bleaching it out and it only kinda took the color out. Still fun and inexpensive though!

Denni

you said your hair lasted almost a month, was that with frequent washings or not? I'm planning on doing this with mine (full head though) and I'd like to know how long it will last (my school doesn't allow dyed hair)

Dana Koester

I used Cherry. Make sure you get the unsweetened packets or your hair will be all sticky!

What "flavor" of kool aid did you use for this color red? I have the same hair color as you and love this look!

Red Kool-Aid Dip Dye

Dana submitted her beautiful blonde hair color dip dyed red with Kool-aid. Here is how she achieved this look:

Hey my name is Dana and I dip-dyed my hair with red kool-aid! The first picture is the day I dyed it, and as you can tell its fire-engine red. The second picture is about a week afterwards, the third about three weeks after I dyed it, and then the last one was very recent, and I actually got it dyed pink over top the red, but its already fading out

How to: separate the hair you don’t want dyed from the hair you do. Then take 2-3 packets of NON-SWEETENED Kool-Aid and dump it in 2-3 cups water. Bring the water to a boil (or you can just use hot water from tap, but you will have to sit with your hair submerged longer) and then poor the boiling water into a different bowl and let it stop boiling. then submerge your hair in it. Since I am blonde I only had to sit for 5 minute to achieve this color, the darker your hair, the longer it takes. Red is the only color I have tried, but I am excited to try more colors! And as a last thought to my super long message just want you to know that the kool-aid lasts for a REALLY long time! My hair was dyed red for almost a month with almost no fading or bleeding until I got it dyed pink, now its all fading out. So kool-aid is by no means going to wash out quickly. I hope you like, and have fun trying it out!
