Who Used Kool-Aid to Dye Their Hair?

[MoMo]

If it is only for an event, you could try clip in highlights.

Maybe I should. I thought it was temporary. Thanks for the info.

Black cherry used to be my friend FlavorAid was cheaper but didn't do as good of a job.

i did purple and it came out blue black with a purple sheen to it. i loved it. i mixed 2 packs with about 2 cups of thick conditioner, and let it set for about 2 hours in the sun.

That sounds lovely. I was hoping for something funky that would still be appropriate at work. I think I could get away with this

I think so. I never heard of anyone having to lift their haircolor before applying it.

Thanks! I just had to be sure. I thought this was for blonds/this is why I never drink this stuff

I did this last March. My hair was a slight reddish color. I liked it though. Other than the red coming off on my hands when I did my hair, and it also coming off on my clothes (mainly the collar area), it was cool.
I haven't done it since though.

I have always had this problem with semi perm color. Anybody know how to prevent it. I really want healthy hair and funky color but I can't handle no being able to play in my hair!

I did this back in the day.

Sweet Sweet Kool-aid memories.



....purple you say...I might have to try that one out!

 

[DivaD04]

I did a search over on tLHC, and grabbed these tidbits.....

That makes it sound like it might work better for the relaxed ladies. Darn! I'll still try it, though.

i've never heard nor experienced itchy scalp w/ kool-aid...i'm wondering
what all did tat person do to get an itchy scalp.

it doesn't matter if your relaxed or not, just boil your water n salt and add your sssssour (what my dd say) kool-naid! let it cool down and toss that baby on your hair. sometimes me and my sis would use 2 packs to get dye look effect especially if you have too much water....and you know black folks don't measure so go easy on the water!

i hate fla-vor-aid.....whodahell thought of flavor-aid! see this is why i'm not keen on alot of knock-off's...it's like seasoning, you gotta get laywer's! lol

 

[RockCreak]

I used to luuuuuuuuuv the kool aid method. I did this back in middle school...It worked great for me.

 

[hurricane]

I remember this. I was too young to get my hair dyed but the high school girls did. Was cutie Pie out then?

 

[so so chic]

Growing up, my friends did this to their hair, but I never did because my mom would have killed me!!! Their hair did turn out nice..not sure about how safe it is though.

 

[JerriBlank]

My auntie used to do this back in the 90's.
She used to stay switching up her colours

 

[LongCurlyLocks]

Some neighborhood girls did in the 80's. I liked it, but was scared to do mine. Plus, my granny would have gave me a new a$$ hole!

 

[ladylina]

OMG!I thought I was the only person that did this . I use to die my hair with kool aid all the time when I was in junior high, it came out pretty nice like I put a rinse in my hair. I might do it soon when I am tooo cheap to buy a rinse. lol

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

I would love to try this.....am I wrong for that? lol

 

[afrikurl]

Not at all. Kool-aid is what 25cents? It's worth a shot. the only thing is that if you wet your hair often, it will be a mess. On your clothes and hands.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

Aahhh ok maybe I won't try it because I wash every 1-3 days.

 

[Firstborn2]

Oh man this brings back memories...I thought I was the koolaid queen.

 

[SailorWifey]

So can I put kool-aid or manic panic in my juice ya think. Like actually do the rinse and then add it to my juice to keep the color up???

 

[beans4reezy]

I did this in high school. My technique was all jacked up, because my hair didn't take on the color at all.

 

[NappyGoddesse]

And we put this in our bodies??? ROFL

 

[maxineshaw]

I never tried this. I know in Jr. High, a ton of girls did it. Most of it actually looked pretty good.

 

[LaFemmeNaturelle]

And we put this in our bodies??? ROFL

lol it's just food coloring.

 

[BronxMyth]

Wow, this really brings back memories! I never did it, but my friends have. My parents would've beaten my butt!

 

[L.Brown1114]

i wanna try this!! so you just boil salt and water and then out two packs of whatever color you want and then what? slather on your hair with a cap and sit out in the sun? or dunk your hair in the pot for a certain amount of time?

 

[classychic1908]

Me too! Red of course, but mine came out very subtle.

Memories........

 

[godsflowerrr]

lol..yeah. we did the red cherry color back in the day (early 90's)..lol

 

[Aisling~Siahbon]

I had my cheer partner in school to do it. it was..pretty red and comes out after time.. didnt damage my hair...lots of fun back then

My classmates told me they used hydrogen peroxide.

I cannot believe how many how-to videos are on youtube.

Black cherry was the business back in high school. My hair would look black with a hint of dark burgundy but when I was in the sun the color REALLY popped. I loved it and so did everyone else.

 

[Janet']

I never did, my mom would've ...and as an adult, I have always gone to salons...I do remember the red turning out super cute though...I don't know how it might affect the hair erplexed

 

[PeanutButterandHoney]

yep!
My momma wouldn't let me die my hair so I used kool aid.
Warning, if your hair reaches your shoulders and longer, it will stain your shirts, especially when you are sweating.
