Ever wanted to turn your red hair into brunette or your blonde to red, or green? But of course we don't want to damage it trying or risk not liking it and making it permanent with henna, so turn to Kool-Aid to try a new color for 7 days without it being permanent or damaged!!
You can dye your hair with regular Kool-Aid using this method I found on a website: How to Dy Hair with Kool-Aid (click) (http://www.wikihow.com/Dye-Hair-With-Kool-Aid). You just use the sugar-free flavor-only mix (those little ones that self for the average of 5/$1)
General Rules of Kool-Aid Dying
-Blonde and light-colored hair will show up much much more as the color being dyed (see pictures below for reference)
-The darker your hair, the more natural it is going to look (see pictures below for reference)
-The more porous (damaged or previously dyed hair) the more permanent it is going to be
-Red Kool-Aid is the most permanent as well as green
-As said, the more damaged the more permanent but generally most of the time it will last for about 7 days (that is 7 days of running water through it / washing / conditioning) and then wash out.
-More Kool-Aid in your leave in conditioner over night does not make the color better, from experience all it is going to do is irritate your scalp and make it really itchy so make sure you don't add too much Kool-Aid to your mixture.
-Make sure to clarify your hair and don't condition afterward, let it dry completely, and then apply your mixture
-If your hair is on the reddish side turn to blue or blue & green to get a brown
-If your hair is brown turn to red or red & orange to make yourself a redhead
-If you are looking to brighten your hair (much like Chamomile does) turn to adding some yellow to make red hair more bright or brunette hair more chestnut
I have had great success making my brassy red hair to a bright red that still looks close to a natural red (see bottom of post)
This is What it Will Look Like
On Brunette / Red hair
