Kool Aid To Dye Your Hair Red? Rona O’Connor Answers Your Questions

QUESTION: I’ve been told that Kool Aid can temporarily dye my hair red (I am a strawberry blonde). This seems like a bad idea, but I think I’d get your expertise. Does it work?!

ANSWER: By: Rona O’Connor: If you want an unnatural look, I’m sure it can stain the hair temporarily.  But honestly, I’d say forget it.  Get yourself a red conditioner in the golden coppers for a lighter red and one that won’t turn pink.  I like ‘Bixa’ by Aveda if you can find it. There are several good brands out there. Color conditioner is is my first choice over Kool Aid.
