Look for dye that’s labeled “chemical-free,” “organic,” or “all-natural. ” You can use any color dye. Pick a color that matches your hair or, for a playful look, pick a bright color like pink or blue.

If your hair dye doesn’t come with gloves, you can buy them at any beauty store, grocery store, or online retailer. Test a small amount of dye on your skin before applying all over to make sure you don’t have an allergic reaction.
The exact amount of hair dye should be listed on the front of the box. Use that measurement for your shampoo. For example, if you have 3 ounces (85 g) of hair color, you’ll add 3 ounces (85 g) of shampoo. Choose shampoo that has hydrating ingredients, like argan oil, vitamin E, or Moroccan oil.

Wash off the dye immediately if you experience any burning or painful tingling sensations. Set a timer or use the clock app on your phone to keep track of the time. Don’t leave the dye on for longer than the recommended time or you could damage your pubic hair and skin.
You’ll know that all of the dye is gone once the water runs clear.

Once it dries, if you aren’t satisfied with the color, you should wait 4 weeks before re-dyeing it so you don’t damage your hair.

On a stove with 9 heat settings, medium-high heat is 6 or 7.
A cup or basin will work if you don’t have a bowl. If you use a plastic container, the Kool-Aid could stain it.
