Do you want some colored streaks in your hair for a very low price? Keep reading!
Steps
- Look below at the Things You'll Need.
- After you have gathered your materials, grab both packs of the Kool-Aid and pour them in the bowl.
- Add a few drops of conditioner in the bowl. You need to use about twice as much as you would normally use in your hair.
- Put the vinegar in the bowl as well.(Not mandatory- look below with ingredients)
- Mix it together to form a nice paste. There shouldn't be any lumps in it.
- Put on the plastic gloves. It's going to get messy.
- (You may need a buddy to help) Dip the brush in the paste and brush it against a streak in your hair.
- Once you are done, wrap the streaks in some foil.
- After letting the paste sit for a few minutes (about 5 or ten), use a hair dryer (on low) on the foil. It'll help the paste bake into your hair (not necessary).
- Leave in the paste for a few hours to overnight.
- Take the foil out and use a hair dryer on the streaks
Tips
- Wear an old t-shirt.
- Get someone to help you.
- Add vinegar for more vibrant color.
- If you are planning on dying your whole head apply some vaseline on your forehead,neck ears, etc.
- If you boil your kool aid mixture and then dip your hair in it the dye stays in longer.
- Sometimes this can last for up to two months, if you're lucky. Other times, it'll come out the next time you use shampoo.
- If you have darker hair, it could be less noticeable than if you had blonde hair, bleach before you dye your hair for best results.
Warnings
- Kool-aid stains! If you happen to get it on your skin, rub some toothpaste on it. It'll come right out.
