Ok so almost right before school ended in early June, I dyed the lower part of my hair with red Kool Aid. I read that it doesn't usually show up too bright on dark hair, and that it only lasts about a month. My hair turned out almost Rihanna red (Which I had no complaints, I love red hair). Now it's almost the end of summer, early August, and the red is still very much here! I don't mind it at all, I love it, but I'm not sure why it's still in my hair.
Do you girls have any idea? Is is possible that it permanently stained my hair? Thank you!

Yes koolaid stains your hair, but evidently all red pigments stain your hair. I've dyed my hair red twice before and I swear it like never leaves my hair. Lol.

I had first dyed it when I was 15 now 3 years later it was still in my hair a bit. I dyed it red a few months ago again, an since then I've dyed over it like 2 times and there's still a red tint and now that the dye faded my hair is like a cherry coke color. Lol.

Mostly likely... I've heard stories of people dying their hair with kool aid and it lasted with then for over a year and some so long they ended up just having to cut the kool aid dyed part out to get it out of their hair.

If you want to remove it, go to the beach and swim in the ocean lol thats what I did. I guess the saltwater takes out the stain or something lol.

How did you dye it? Can you make another post or just answer here. Because the last time I dyed it it barely showed and washed out within a week.

Yeah, you'll probably have to cut it. I've heard that's what a lot of people have to do.

Thank you guys, but I won't be cutting it. I don't mind the red at all, and I would never cut my hair. I was actually considering redoing it to get my ombr? back :) And @Tanya I boiled two cups of water, then used two small packets of cherry kool aid and dipped my hair in it for about 40min. I also did the top of my hair for about 20-30min. Make sure to hop in the shower and condition!! The koolaid and boiled water dries your hair out like nothing else! :)
