Can you really make PERMANENT hair dye with food coloring & conditioner?

You can use food coloring and conditioner.... When I was younger we used kool aid the kind without the sugar... It will dye your hair and if you want the best results you need to dye it as light a blonde as you can get so the colors are easy to see. However NONE of the methods are going to be permanent. They will all fade with washing your hair even if you use a shampoo for color treated hair. The commercial dyes work best but they fade as well. The only way to get a permanent change is to redo it every time it looks faded. No matter what color you use homemade or otherwise you will have fading and you will have to do touch ups. If you don't want to have to worry about those things then either do a wash out color or nothing at all.

According to this site and a few others, you can mix food dye with conditioner, let it sit for about half an hour and that it becomes permanent hair dye. Seems simple enough, but almost too easy. I'd like to hear from those who have TRIED it and if it worked. I'm looking for PERMANENT (NOT...

You can, but it's a permanent dye the way store bought dyes are... it will slowly fade, but not wash out.

To get food coloring to dye natural fibers, you need an acid (vinegar). Kool aid can work better, b/c it already has acid in it... but the more the better.

I like to mix both food coloring, kool aid, and vinegar to make a paste, slather my hair in it, put a cap on (sometimes I'm mega cheap and go with a grocery bag tied over my eye) and leave it for however long it takes to really soak in. If you can heat set it, even better.

I'd go for kool aid. I dyed part of my hair red when I had dirty blonde hair, me and my friend were just messing around and testing. It's been 2 years now and in January I belched my hair and the red I put it didn't even come out with the bleach. It's even still here today. It does fade for example blue would turn into a greenish/blue color like a turquoise color. I would say depending on the amount of water: less would make it a bit brighter and more would make it less bright. That's from my experience

It will only stain the hair and only if your hair is blonde, or bleached blonde.

In the link below the hair that is cut and colored to look like palm trees was done for a hair competition.

Food coloring mixed with conditioner was used to color the bleached blonde hair.

The vivid green was food coloring with not conditioner.

There are other hair related articles there and one is also about hair coloring.

I did this. and it turned out relatively permanent. The way I did it was by mixing shampoo, baking soda, lemon juice, and the coloring together. I let that sit for a day, and then put it on my hair overnight. I had to do this a few times to see results because I didn't bleach my hair, and it's a dark brown color.

does it really work because im trying to dying my hair for Halloween and I don't have hair so I was wondering if food coloring works? so does it or does it not like make it permanent??? or does it even work ? my hair blonde so I don't know if I have to bleach it?

Semi-permanent or permanent USUALLY takes up to 28 washings or months, some brands takes 2 washings for semi-perm., depends on the brand really. Example: GREELEY — Ariel Davila was asked to leave Brentwood Middle School in Greeley on Monday when she showed up with blue hair, which is a violation of school dress code directly related to gang colors. Her parents were okay with the blue hair, and they say they are now upset her daughter is being punished for self-expression. The school handbook includes a section on dress code that specifically refers to blue and red. And another: Utah 15-year-old suspended after dying her hair a ‘distracting’ red Rylee MacKay learned last week she was in violation of a Hurricane Middle School policy that hair ‘should be within the spectrum of color that grows naturally." 2-12-13
