How can I dye my hair red without hair dye?

I want to dye my hair red (not the natural red color, bright red) but hair dye is really expensive. Is there any way I can dye my hair tips bright red with stuff I already have at home?

    If your hair isn't dark, red kool aid.

    You can use it to dip dye, why not dye all of it? Just use a kool aid dip dye tutorial, but do it to all your hair.

    Hair dye is not expensive. It's about $10 at the beauty supply store for everything. Instead of ruining your hair with products at home use the professional stuff.

    Try temporary dye in case you don't like it.

  • kool aide works 100% especially if your hair is lighter, it also works on darker hair but it looks kinda like a maroon color but if your hair is black it won't make a difference. pour a couple packs into a bowl and mix it with water and conditioner. but when you dye with kool aide, a little bit will come out every day when you wash your hair, so it stays for about 1 month or so

    now don't blame me if it turns out crappy.

    but my grandmother used to use onion skins to dye hard boiled egg shells like a reddish brown

    at easter. I could see the color looking good on hair. perhaps you can cut some of yours off for

    a test strip. just put water and onion skins in a pot and boil it till it turns the color you like..

    the longer you cook it the darker it gets.

    good luck...do try a test strip first.

    Splat hair color works really well, just do not use the bleach in the box. Splat itself is a stain not a hair dye. I use it and love it.

    I've heard dying hair with kool-aide. Look up how to do it on YouTube.

  • 8 years ago

    You can use kool-aide, it's supposed to be easy and there's tutorials all over youtube on how to. THe only problem is is that it fades quickly so you have to redo it a lot.
