Wait anywhere between 15 minutes and 5 hours for the desired saturation. Rinse the Kool-Aid dye paste out of your hair with cold running water. Blow-dry or air-dry your freshly dyed hair to see the final results."
Start with clean, dry hair and use clips or hair ties to pull back parts of your hair. For even coverage, divide your hair into multiple smaller sections which you'll apply the dye to. Try dividing your hair vertically into left and right segments, and then dividing each of these into 3 horizontal sections (top, middle, and bottom). Alternatively, divide your hair into left, right, and center sections and work your way from side to side. Or, start by exposing the hair at the nape of your neck and piling the rest of your hair up at your crown. Pull out small sections as you work your way from your nape up to your crown. Either use gloved hands or a hair dye brush to apply the dye paste onto your hair. Start with 1 section and massage or paint the dye into your roots. Then spread the dye down the strands, all the way to the tips, until the first section is completely coated. Tie back each dyed section and proceed until all sections are evenly coated. All of your hair must be saturated with dye otherwise the powder will just wash out, without coloring your hair. If you're dyeing your own hair, you might want to enlist the help of a friend. It can be hard to evenly coat the hair at the back of your head. Secure the hair at your crown with hair clips. Wind a few long sections of saran wrap around your hair to hold it in place, off of your face and shoulders. Alternatively, try a plastic grocery bag or resealable food storage bag. The plastic will help trap in the moisture and prevent the dye from spreading and staining. Secure the plastic wrap with tape for extra hold. This step is especially useful if you plan to leave the dye on your hair for a few hours. If you have very light, fine hair and just want a subtle tint in your hair, leave the dye on for 15 or 30 minutes. But if you have darker or thicker hair, or if you want a deeply saturated dye job, wait a few hours before removing the dye. If you've used more Kool-Aid packets, it's ok to leave the dye on for a shorter amount of time. Remove the saran wrap and turn on cool running water in a shower or sink. Rinse all of your hair, from the roots to the tips, under the water until all of the dye paste is washed out. Continue rinsing your hair until the water runs clear (or just a pale tint is left). It may take between 10 and 20 minutes to get the water to run clear. Warm or hot water may more quickly wash out some of the pigment from your newly-dyed strands. Don't use shampoo when you rinse out the dye. This could wash out and fade some of the color. Remove all the moisture from your hair, either with a hairdryer or by letting it dry naturally. Once your strands are completely dry, you'll be able to see the final results of the Kool-Aid dye! Have fun styling and rocking your new 'do. To make your temporary color last as long as possible, wash your hair in cold water instead of hot water. It's ok to use warm water and heat styling tools, but keep in mind that the heat will cause the dye to fade faster. You may need to experiment with the dye process a few times to get the balance right for your hair color. Just remember that if you have darker hair, the effects will be more subtle.
