I once Kool Aided my hair. So first, I boiled the Kool Aid. Next, I poured the Kool Aid into two cups. Then, I put my hair into the cups and watched tv for 20 minutes. I was SOOO bored. After 20 minutes, I took my hair out of the cups and put the dyed part in plastic bags (2). I ate lunch that day with my hair in plastic bags. It was strange. When I took my hair out of the plastic bags, it was BRIGHT red. But, about 2 or 3 weeks later, I cut my hair because the red part was like straw. Moral of the story: Use real dye unless you want your hair to feel like straw.
