Whether it's because they're yearning for an activity one that doesn't involve piece puzzles, banana bread, and Netflix , or they simply crave a colorful change, one thing's for sure: People are searching for how this is done, and are turning to Instagram for inspiration— koolaidhair and koolaidhairdye on Instagram both have over tags each and counting.
We reached out to professional hairstylist Kali Ferrara to get the lowdown on this beauty trend. Is it safe, can it be damaging to the hair, and how the hell is it actually done? Below, find everything you need to know about dyeing your hair with Kool-Aid.
Meet the Expert. Kali Ferrara is a professional hairstylist and hair colorist based in New York City. With a focus on color, she's experienced in balayage, foiling, and color correction. While the Kool-Aid hair dye hack may be attractive to those afraid of commitment, there are caveats. For starters, it can get messy. Use the unsweetened packets the sweetened ones can make the process a lot stickier and wear an old shirt or towel you don't mind getting dirty. Ferrara notes that the efficiency of the Kool-Aid working and absorbing evenly has everything to do with your hair's porosity.
And just like salon coloring, your base color plays a role in what your end result will look like. As with any hair dyeing method, there are pros and cons. But, the question we're all unanimously asking ourselves: Can this damage my hair?
According to Ferrara, the answer is unique to your hair type. Porous hair will suck up any pigment that is applied to it, resulting in uneven color saturation and uneven fading. Kool-Aid hair dyeing is one of those do-at-your-own-risk trends, and most experts agree to proceed with caution. While there are no real damaging effects to strands, it can be a messy process and leave behind staining.

I came up with the perfect solution to her color problem, we would do temporary Kool Aid hair dye colors all Summer long and she can pick whatever color she wants next once the color has faded. We decided to do the Kool-Aid method. Did you do this when you were a kid? It does work better on lighter hair.
Follow all these instructions and tips so you know everything you need to know on how to dye your hair with Kool Aid. My daughter actually wanted purple hair this time around, so we used 2 Purplesaurus Rex packages and 1 cherry to give it a deeper color.
It was a very purple liquid but came out more of a deep pink color in her hair. Next time we may try grape instead and see where that gets us!!
You might like some of these color ideas. Dying your hair with kool aid makes a great hair color for kids and is a super easy and cute way to dye your hair. Here are some dyed hair tips. Combine your Kool-Aid packets and water in a pot and heat on medium-high heat until boiling. Boil for 1 minute then remove from the heat. Pour your mixture into a heat resistant cup or bowl. Depending on how much hair you want colored will determine how much liquid you want.
Adding a few drops of conditioner to the hot water and Kool-Aid will help the color permeate the hair more evenly. It also makes the mixture less runny and easier to handle. I did her hair in 3 sections.
Other pros? What color would you like your hair to be? Thankfully, Kool-Aid comes in a variety of unnatural colors and there are a number of corresponding Kool-Aid color charts designed with those looking to dye things with Kool-Aid in mind. Sadly, this method is a bit biased — the color shows up best and most vibrant on blonde hair, lighter brown hair, and hair that has previously been bleached or lifted to a lighter shade.
But give some Grape or concentrated Cherry a try; you could end up with a nice, albeit subtle, all-over tint. Kool-Aid is the easiest to apply to your hair in cream form. Squirt a few spoonfuls of your favorite conditioner into a mug and microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds.
Add more conditioner into the concoction until it reaches the volume you need for covering the amount of hair you want to dye. Try dip-dyeing just your ends like a teen , dyeing just your face-framing tendrils for a Dua Lipa effect, or just dyeing your bangs every color of the rainbow. Streaks are also fun.
