Coloring your hair with Kool-Aid is achievable using a cream-based application. Here's how:
Preparing the Kool-Aid Hair Dye
To create the Kool-Aid hair dye, you'll need to mix the powder with a conditioner base. This method is easiest for application. Here’s the process:
- Conditioner Base: Start by placing a few spoonfuls of your favorite conditioner into a mug.
- Heating the Conditioner: Microwave the conditioner for 20 to 30 seconds. This makes it easier to mix in the Kool-Aid.
- Adding Kool-Aid Powder: Stir in your desired Kool-Aid powder or a mix of powders into the heated conditioner until completely dissolved.
- Mixing: Continue mixing until you have a dark paste. This paste is your ready-to-use Kool-Aid hair dye.
Application Instructions:
Once your paste is ready, you can apply it to your hair.
- Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections. This ensures even coverage.
- Apply the Mixture: Apply the Kool-Aid paste generously to each section of your hair.
- Process the Color: Depending on how vibrant you want the color, let it sit on your hair for a set time.
- Rinse: Rinse your hair thoroughly with cool water until the water runs clear.
- Condition: Apply conditioner one more time to lock in the color and provide moisture.
Important Considerations:
- Color Intensity: The final color will vary based on your hair color and the amount of Kool-Aid used.
- Staining: Keep in mind that Kool-Aid can stain surfaces, so work in an area that's easy to clean.
- Color Longevity: Kool-Aid hair dye is semi-permanent and may fade with washing.
- Safety: Be careful when microwaving conditioner and always stir the mixture thoroughly to avoid clumps.
Summary
To color your hair with Kool-Aid, create a paste by mixing dissolved Kool-Aid powder with warm conditioner. Apply this paste to your hair, let it process, and then rinse.
