[This page](http://www.redstoyland.com/dyeing.html) seems to have a lot of good tips and recommendations for dyeing your hair in the Manic Panic style colors. It also reviews various dyes and methods (including Kool-Aid) for dyeing your hair.

Sweet! I never knew this. I’m going to color my hair all the colors of the rainbow. 😃 Not all at once of course!

[QUOTE=CanvasShoes]  
I seem to remember seeing something somewhere that said that they used Koolaide. If I remember, they use several packets, with very very HOT water and make a paste, then slap it on and leave it for awhile. I’ll bet if you googled Koolaid hair color you’d find the right ratio and “recipe”.

I hope that it doesn’t need to be stated, but if you go this route, buy the **unsweetened** Koolaide. Nobody digs a swarm of flies.
