coloring more than easter eggs

Inspired by Hey Jen Renee, I picked up some Kool-Aid packets to dye eggs with Tessa for Easter.

I can’t say I was thrilled with the outcome, but they made the kitchen smell fruity & turns out Tessa loves Kool-Aid (something they don’t have in Germany)  After our little egg experiment, our conversation turned to dying hair with these fantastic bright colors.  Tessa had been admiring a schoolmate’s blue tipped hair & wanted to know how to get a similar rainbow effect on her locks.

So she surprised her friend with this colorful plan & after watching this video they were ready to go.

 

We’re not completely sure how long the color will stay since we’ve read reports varying from days to over a month, but none the less it was a fun & frugal activity to do for a girl’s night in.  Obviously it works best on lighter colored hair, but you can still get cool hues with darker toned hair.

 

The girls were happy with how their locks looked… and we even got Tuesday in the mix.  Nothing like a turquoise tipped tail to get in the spring spirit.
