QuestionWill hair color remover take out Kool-Aid?Mackenzie FordCommunity AnswerHair color remover doesn't usually work well with bright, vivid colors or semi-permanent dyes, so it's not suited to Kool-Aid. It's also a much harsher treatment than Kool-Aid requires--natural methods like baking soda and hot water will take care of the color and do less damage!

QuestionHow many days will I need to do this before it's completely gone?Mackenzie FordCommunity AnswerUsing these techniques, your color should be completely faded within 2-3 days. However, if you have a lighter hair color, it may take longer.

QuestionDoes the baking soda make your hair a little crunchy after it dries?Community AnswerIt depends on your hair type. For me and most other people, it isn't necessarily crunchy, but it will feel frizzy, and rubbery in a way (like after getting out of a chlorinated pool).

QuestionIs this an easy way to dye hair, and does it work?Community AnswerYes, this is a cheap, easy way to dye hair, and it’s safe for you or your kids to do. It works very well. The color vibrancy and longevity depends on hair color -- lighter hair retains color better than darker hair.
