Hair Questions!! Kool-Aid dip dye!

So I have already posted a thread about dying the tips of my hair, but I have more questions.

So, I really wanna change up my hair without doing major damage to it. I was think of doing ombre tips, but since I have really dark hair (dark brown) and its super curly, I am afraid that bleaching it might ruin it. Then on my other thread, a beautylisher (forgot her name sorry:[) mentioned Kool-Aid dip dye. I have heard of it, but never thought of doing it.

So then I did some research on it, and I really want to do it now! But I have soo many questions since this is my first time dying my hair.

1. How long would it last?
2. What color should I dye it since I have dark brown hair?
3. Would you recommended doing it?

I know that this was long, but I am really curious. Thanks ladies:) Oh and it would also help if you post some pictures of what Kool-Aid dip dye looks like? Thanks again:)
Oh and p.s. I'm not sure if I mentioned this, I only want to dye my tips because I don't want to make a drastic change dyeing my whole head.

Thanks...again again lol:-)

Thanks Alyx for your opinions. I wasn't sure how damaging it was because I have never dyed it.

Agree with Alyx, I was going to recommend manic panic too :)

Wouldn't you have to bleach your hair yo use maniac paniac?

To get a bright color yes. But a lot of colors come out well on darker hair. The reds and blues, mostly. I'd google "manic panic _____ on unbleached hair" or any veggie dye like special effects, punky colors, etc.

We used to do kool aid dye when I was a child. I didn't know people still do that! It doesn't show up very well on darker hair, and it dries it out pretty bad. If your hair is a lighter brown or blonde it will stain for a long long time. The results are unpredictable as well. Not worth it.
