Henna

One of the most popular and ancient hair dyes, henna is derived from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant. It gives hair a rich red or burgundy hue. Henna not only colors the hair but also conditions it, leaving it silky and strong.

Indigo

Indigo can create shades ranging from dark brown to black. It comes from the indigo plant, called Indigofera tinctoria. Indigo alone will typically give you a blue or purple hue, so it’s most common to apply it after henna to achieve natural shades of brown or black.

Lemon Juice

This may surprise you but lemon juice has been used for decades as a natural way to add highlights to hair. Its bleaching effect is subtle and gradual, making it ideal for achieving sun-kissed highlights. Simply apply fresh lemon juice to the strands you wish to lighten and expose your hair to the sun.

• Keep a towel nearby and wipe your gloves off between every color
• Be super careful about sectioning your hair. Take your time with it instead of doing it haphazardly as you might for one solid color
• Use separate bowls for the different colors. If you don’t have that many hair color bowls, you can also use clear plastic cups.
• Swatch your hair colors on paper towels to make sure you like the color before you put it in your hair
• Rinse with cold water to avoid the colors bleeding together
• In fact, wash your hair only with cold water if you want the rainbow to last for all of pride month

Use Dandruff Shampoo

One of the things that strip color fastest out of colored hair is using harsh shampoos laden with chemicals, which is why so many dye fans like to use natural shampoos. But if you’re actually looking to get your color to fade, using a harsh shampoo like a dandruff shampoo (with hot water!) will definitely speed up the process.

Go to the Beach

Two more enemies of colored hair? Sun and sea. So if you want to get your color to go away, why not go enjoy a day at the beach? You’ll come back with noticeably lighter hair.

Use a Color Remover

If all else fails, there are products you can use that are actually made specifically to remove hair color. And if you don’t want to try any of those, you can put one together yourself using ingredients like baking soda and dish soap.

Are You Willing to Do Some Research?

Professionals go to school for years to learn how to dye hair, so you can’t expect to figure out how to do it perfectly with no research. The internet is full of valuable information for free that will tell you everything you need to know; you just have to be willing to commit to learning it.

Are You Willing to Spend Some Money?

Sure, dying your hair at home is cheaper than getting it done at a salon, but if you want to do a good job, you can’t do it for free. You’ll need to buy gloves, a brush, a hair coloring bowl, and clips—and that’s not to mention the dye itself, which you’ll want to invest in for the best results instead of just picking up the cheapest box dye at the grocery store.

Do You Have Time?

Especially when you’re just starting out, dying your hair at home will take some time as you get the hang of mixing, sectioning, and painting your hair.

Will You Be Able to Handle it if Your Hair Doesn’t Turn Out Perfect?

Listen, the reality is that you may be disappointed by your results. That’s just the name of the game. If you’ll totally freak out if your hair doesn’t come out salon-perfect when you dye it at home, that may mean you should just pay for a professional to help you.

All you need for this dye is Kool Aid, conditioner, and water!

Here’s a guide to dying your hair with Kool-Aid.

Instructions

1. First, put on some gloves and gather the color packets you want. You can either go for the normal colors or mix a couple together to create unique combinations!
2. Take 1-2 of the sugar-free packets and stir it in 1 tablespoon of hot water per packet until the powder has dissolved.
3. Then, squirt in about 1/4 cup of conditioner or until paste forms. This is what you will use to paint onto your hair.
4. Next, choose the section of your hair you want to dye, and section off your hair so the dye doesn’t touch the parts that you don’t want it to.
5. Paint the dye onto your hair either with a brush or just your fingers and then once you’re done, wrap the section of your hair you dyed in cling wrap for at least 15 minutes, more if you want a deeper color.
6. Then, rinse with cold water until the water turns clear and dry! If you want it to be a less bright color, you can shampoo it as well.

But before you starting applying bleach, here are tips to help you do it right.

Do a test Bleach

Different hair bleaching chemicals produce different results. Pull some hairs from your brush and apply your dye. Do you like the result? If the bleach doesn’t produce the hue you were expecting, don’t use it.

Dye

Buy legitimate products from a trusted retailer. Keep in mind there are different variations of platinum blonde. Clarify to your retailer which one you are after. When ready to bleach, wash your hair and remove any pre-existing color. Apply some oil and start the bleaching. Protect yourself:

• Wear Gloves
• Put on protective goggles
• Wear a towel to protect your clothing
• Apply Vaseline to protect your skin

Be Realistic

Since platinum blonde colors vary, don’t expect yours to look exactly like someone else’s. Dyeing produces results according to the type of natural hair you have. If your hair is coarse, chances are you may not get the same variation as a soft-haired person.

Prepare for Maintenance

To maintain the icy-blonde looks; be prepared for regular touchups. Visit your colorist regularly for softening. If you are a DIY-person, be certain you have the right moisturizers. You’ll also need keratin protein to strengthen your hair strands. Lastly, use a conditioner regularly.
