Kool-Aid Hair Dye

Difficulty:BeginnerPrep time: 10 minutesCook time: 20 minutesTotal time: 30 minutesServings:1 servings

Ingredients

• 2 Kool-Aid packets
• 1 old T-shirt
• 2 cup water
• 1 hair tie
• 1 comb
• 1 pot/pan
• 1 cup bowl or container

Instructions

1. 
   Gather up all of your supplies.
2. 
   Pour two cups of water into a pan or pot.
3. 
   Pour the two Kool-Aid packets into the water.ru003cbru003eru003cbru003e#SpoonTip: I used blue and red Kool-Aid to make a purple color.
4. Then, put the pan/pot on the stove. The heat should be between medium and high. Keep the heat on until the Kool-Aid mixture boils for one to two minutes.
5. 
   Immediately pour the concoction into a container, bowl, or cup (whatever you plan on dipping your hair in).
6. 
   Make sure your hair is combed. To ensure the best results, make sure your hair has recently been washed. To avoid staining a good shirt, simply throw on an old one.
7. 
   If you are opting not to dye your whole head, put your hair up in a ponytail. If not, let your hair loose.
8. 
   Next pick how much of your hair you want to be dyed. In this case, I used 3-4 inches, but you can do more or less. Dip this amount of hair in the mixture and leave in for 15-30 minutes depending on hair darkness.ru003cbru003eru003cbru003eFor lighter hair 15 minutes will do, but for brown to black hair 20-30 minutes. The longer you leave your hair in the more likely it will be brighter and last longer. The color should typically last 2-4 weeks depending on how often you wash it.
9. 
   Voilà. Style as you want and make your self an actually cup of Kool-Aid for your hard work. Cheers!
