Achieve An Overall Color<\/h3>\n<p>To get an overall color, you first need to make a hair dye paste.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You Will Need<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a05-7 packets of Kool-Aid unsweetened powder (use any or a combination of flavors)<\/li>\n<li>\u00a01\/2 \u2013 3\/4 cup of hair conditioner (depending on the length and thickness of your hair (use any brand)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Microwave the conditioner in a heat-proof bowl for 20-25 seconds.<br \/> 2. Add the contents of the Kool-Aid sachets to the warm conditioner and mix well until combined properly to form a smooth paste.<br \/> 3. Apply this paste to your hair with a hair dye brush, covering each strand from the root to the tip.<br \/> 4. Leave it on for around 8 hours. You can also leave it on overnight if you wish. Use a shower cap to keep from smearing color all over your house and pillow cases. We want to stain only the hair, not anything else.<br \/> 5. Rinse off the Kool-Aid paste from your hair with water. Do not use shampoo.<br \/> 6. Towel dry your hair and flaunt your new look!<\/p>\n<h3>2.

Do not use shampoo.<\/li>\n<li>Let your hair dry naturally, or use a blow dryer<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> When washing hair right after coloring it, your hair may bleed color. Do not worry, this is normal.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Dip-Dye Your Tips<\/h3>\n<p><strong>You Will Need<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2 packets of Kool-Aid unsweetened powder<\/li>\n<li>2 cups of water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Directions:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Mix the water and Kool-Aid powder in a saucepan.<\/li>\n<li>Bring the liquid to a boil.

If you keep it on your hair for a long time, the color will take longer to fade. Kool-Aid stains your hair, and your washing frequency affects the longevity of the color. If you wash your hair daily, swim in chlorinated water, or use heat-styling tools, the Kool-Aid dye is likely to disappear sooner.<\/p>\n<p>Kool-Aid hair dyes stay on blonde and light-colored hair for a longer time than dark hair. Also, dark shades, such as red and purple, tend to last longer than pastel pinks and light blue. However, note that blue shades can fade into greener shades, which may last longer.<\/p>\n<p>Most recipes call for the Kool-Aid powder as it yields the best results.
