well, I got blonde hair now... never mind. xD

Maybe I'm wrong, but if you're using Kool-Aid, wouldn't it be best to use a packet of the regular kind but not add the sugar? You could probably use more or less water to vary the strength of it, too.

I wish I could use that recipe...but I can't buy all that ingredients.. I'm really poor.. so if there's any other way to do it let me know..

Using a packet of Kool-aid, a spoonful of corn starch, and a small amount of water, a paste can be made and applied to the hair. also this recipe works to make actual dye.

Natural Blonde Dye Ingredients:

Be sure and get all the ingredients at the store and lay everything out before you start the recipe. Everything will need to be added at once.

2 whole uncut fresh lemons (squeezed & strained for juice)

2/3 ounces or 20 grams of marigold flowers (you can buy at health food store)

2/3 ounces or 20 grams of chamomile flowers (buy at health food store)

1 - 1 1/4 ounces or 30 grams of finely chopped or powdered rhubarb root ((grocery store or heath food store)

2 ounces or 50 grams of acacia honey (health food store)

1 pint or 1/2 liter cider vinegar

2 ounces or 50 grams of 95% proof liqueur alcohol (liquor store).

Put the vinegar and rhubarb into a stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer very gently for 10 minutes. Be sure to make it exactly 10 minutes. Less or more may cause problems.

Add the chamomile and marigold flowers and juice of the two lemons. Cover the pan and simmer for another 5 minutes. Remove completely from the heat.

Let the mixture stand covered with the lid until the liquid is tepid. Filter the concoction through a fine sieve into a bottle.

Make sure you squeeze out any liquid in the herbs left in the sieve. Remember to be careful since the liquid may still be warm or even a tiny bit hot.

Add the honey, alcohol and squeezed and strained lemon juice from the 2 lemons. Put a tight cap on the bottle and store for your next shampoo.

How To Use Dye:

There are a couple of ways that you can make use of the natural dyes. You can use a dilution of the mixture by adding 1 tablespoon of the dye mixture for each quart or liter of final rinse water. If you really want to punch up the highlights, apply the mixture directly to your hair and leave on for at least 30 minutes. Be sure to cover your head with a shower cap or the drippage can stain. To get less drips, you can also mix some undiluted dye with a thick rinse out or deep conditioner and glop that on your head to get a thicker mixture.

Rinse & Shine:

After allowing the mixture as a quick rinse or as a longer leave on dye, rinse your hair with cold water to seal the color. Let your hair air dry if possible. While there is no guarantee of the level of color you will have achieved, changes are good that you will definitely see some blonde highlights. The lighter the color your natural hair, the more intense the blonde color from the mixture. Remember that this is a type of all natural vegetable dye. The dye will only last from shampoo to shampoo. If you want to maintain the highlights or added blonde colors you will need to apply the mixture after each shampoo. One batch will last from 2-3 weeks if kept refrigerated. It will last a shorter period of time if kept at room temperature. Depending on the length and thickness of your hair, the mixture will provide several after shampoo applications. Remember to take special care because in undiluted form, the final liquid will dye any materials it comes into contact with. This means it can stain your hands, your skin and any clothes or other materials. Apply this mixture in the shower and wash off immediately.

okay, I'm a 15 year old her who isn't allowed to dye her hair but my mother said I could "experiment" so ... I decided to mix milk and peroxide together and sleep with it in my hair, it worked... and my hair is lighter... but I want blonde...and I am not allowed to use peroxide anymore... because she thinks it will make me bald when I'm older.. so... is there anything besides lemon juice or buying anything that I can use to put in my hair to make me blonde? anything would help me thanks!

ok so if you have dark colored hair then the kool-aid will give you a tint....im doin red....

i have really dark, almost black hair and would want to know what homemade hair dye i could use. i haven't tried using kool-aid yet, but i really doubt it would work on my hair.

how do I use chestnut hulls as hair dye?

As a blonde, I've successfully used Kool-Aid for pink shades. My advice is to use the unsweetened kind (MUCH less sticky), in a very concentrated form. Now that I'm grown up, though, I'm very curious about the walnut husks--any tips/tricks for getting that to work?
