Dying my hair with Kool Aid

I had been thinking about dip-dying my hair red for a while now but this wasn't considered the "real deal" until it actually came out. I used Cherry flavour because my mum saw a tutorial on-line that said the Cherry and Dark Cherry weren't that different. This was just an experiment and we never thought it would come out as good as it did. So I boiled a cup full of water in the kettle and then poured it into a travel mug because I figured that would be easy to hold (like not burning my hands). I poured the whole packet of kool aid into the water and stirred it around for it to dissolve.
Then I parted my hair and tied my hair to what length I wanted to be dip-dyed. Once it had dissolved and my hair was secured I timed 15 minutes and soaked my hair in the cup of boiling kool aid.

It was quite boring actually. But the results were incredible, as soon as I took out my hair you could see it was red. Because we knew that the colour was going to run, as soon as I took out one side I would rinse it in a glass of water and dry it off with a paper towel so that it wouldn't drip all over everything. After drying each side I took them out the hair-ties and washed/combed out my hair under the sink.

What a nice action shot. Anyway here's what my hair looked like after I had washed it.

The we let out my hair and my mum blow dried it for me. And boy did it look nice.

So naturally I went and had a photo-shoot in my garden because that's what they do, those beauty gurus.

My hair is actually in a pony tail here.

My Teddy loved being a prop <3

I did this a few months ago and I was originally waiting till I got back from the beach to update you on how it lasted but then I forgot about it. So it did run and it ran onto my clothing but luckily the red came out my clothes so it didn't stain. The colour has stayed in my hair, although one side has faded faster than the other it's still there and it's really made me want to dye my whole head. I know that some people won't be supportive of this but I've been wanting to do it for a while and I figured now would be a good time to dye my hair. I no longer have anything tying me down that would restrict my hair not being it's natural colour like school or work so you can look out for that next. 

Nitey Nite or Good Morning.
