If you want to try playing with other hair colors but don’t want the color to last long, then Kop-Aid drinking powder could be the perfect solution! You just need to mix hair conditioner and sugar-free Kop-Aid powder with hot water to create a hair dye with a paste texture. You can apply the mixture to your hair to dye your entire hair, or you can sweep color stripes on your hair. If you want to dye the ends of your hair, mix the dye from Kop-Aid powder. Note that different colors and amounts of Kop-Aid powder will produce different results. Remember to wear gloves to avoid getting your hands dirty when dyeing your hair!

Wear disposable gloves to keep your hands from getting dirty. If you’re not careful, you’ll end up with two hands the same color as your hair! To avoid this, wear disposable latex gloves or rubber kitchen gloves so the dye doesn’t soak into your hands. [1] X Research Source
- If you do get your hands dirty, there are a few ways to remove Kop-Aid stains from your skin.

Choose the Kop-Aid color you like. Choose the Kop-Aid powder pack in your favorite color or mix the 2 colors together to create a new color. Grape flavor can give a gentle purple color. Tropical punch will create a bright red color, while cherry will have a deeper red color. With cool tones, the blue raspberry will turn blue, and the lime will create a bright green color. Mixed berry flavors can produce a light blue color. [2] X Research Source
- Note that different hair types may color differently. For example, grape-flavored Kop-Aid powder will leave a pale pinkish purple color on light blondes if left on for only 30 minutes. [3] X Research Source However, grape-flavored Kop-Aid powder will turn a deep purple-red color on dark brown hair after 1 hour.
- If you have brown hair, vibrant reds look best. You can also try deep purple and dark blue dyes! However, you won’t be able to dye your hair to a lighter color than your natural hair tone without bleaching it first. [4] X Research Sources

Pour one or more packets of sugar-free Kop-Aid into a small bowl. If you have very long hair or if you want a really bold color, use 2 packs or more. The unsweetened Kop-Aid is much less sticky than the artificial sweetener, so it’s easier to spread the color evenly and smoother. [5] X Research Sources
- If you’re not sure how your hair will eat the color, you should only use 1 pack at first. You can then continue dyeing with a few more packs for a darker color.
- If you want to mix colors, you can stir the 2 packets together. For example, try mixing black cherries with strawberries for a fiery red, or mixing strawberries with grapes for a purple-red color. You can also try mixing blueberries and lemons for a turquoise color. [6] X Research Sources

Pour in hot water and stir until the powder is dissolved. Pour 1-2 tablespoons (15 -30 ml) of hot water into the bowl. Mix flour with water, stirring constantly with a spoon until the powder is completely dissolved. [7] X Research Sources
- A general rule of thumb is to use 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of water per packet of Kop-Aid powder.
- Don’t add too much water, or the mixture will be too liquid to make it difficult to spread.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/52/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/52/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-5-Version-3.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-5-Version-3.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Add hair conditioner to the mixture to form a smooth paste. When the Kop-Aid powder has dissolved, add conditioner to the bowl and mix it up. Start with ¼ cup (60 ml) conditioner and adjust until the mixture is a smooth paste. [8] X Research Sources
- The silky smooth texture makes the color easier to apply and spread on the hair. Conditioner will help the color spread evenly throughout the hair. [9] X Research Source

Wrap an old towel around your shoulders and cover where you sit to dye your hair. The dye will stain clothes, so it’s a good idea to wear an old towel or an old t-shirt that you don’t regret getting dirty. You can also consider wrapping a large trash bag around your shoulder and clipping it in place to prevent water from seeping through. [10] X Research Source
- You also need to protect the dyed area with another old towel or trash bag to prevent the dye from spilling on the table, chair, or floor.
Dye the whole hair
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/1/1a/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/1/1a/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-7-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-7-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Divide your hair into 3 to 6 sections. Starting with clean, dry hair, use clips or hair ties to hold sections. For a more even color, divide your hair into small sections to spread the dye. [11] X Research Source
- Try dividing your hair vertically into left and right sections, then dividing each section horizontally into 3 more sections (top, middle, and bottom).
- Another way is to divide your hair into left, right, and middle sections, and then spread the dye from side to side.
- You can also start by leaving the hair at the nape of your neck and clipping the rest on top of your head. When dyeing your hair, you will let down small sections of hair on the top of your head.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/9/91/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/9/91/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-8-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-8-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Apply the Kop-Aid mixture to each section of hair, from root to tip. You can use gloved hands or a hair dye brush to apply the dye to your hair. Rub or spread the mixture on a section of hair at the roots, then spread all the way to the ends to cover the first section of hair. [12] X Research Source
- Tie up each section of dyed hair and continue dyeing until all sections are covered with the dye.
- The entire hair must be soaked with dye; otherwise, the powder will wash off and leave no color on the hair.
- If you dye your hair yourself, you may have to ask someone for help. The hair at the back of the head can be very difficult to evenly spread the dye.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/6/6f/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/6/6f/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-9-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-9-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wrap hair in cling film. Use a clip to clip the hair on the top of your head. Use cling film to wrap a few times around your hair to keep it in place so it doesn’t stick to your face and shoulders. You can also wrap your hair in a supermarket foam bag or a plastic grocery bag. The nylon film will hold moisture and prevent the dye from running down causing dirt. [13] X Research Source
- Use adhesive tape to fix the film to make it stronger.
- This step is especially useful if you plan to keep the color in your hair for several hours.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/0/03/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/0/03/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-10-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-10-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Wait for a period of about 15 minutes to 5 hours for the color to be as desired. With fine, light-colored hair and just want to dye it lightly, you can leave the color in your hair for 15 or 20 minutes. If you have dark hair or thick strands, or if you want a really bold color, wait a few hours before washing. [14] X Research Source
- If you use multiple packs of Kop-Aid, you can leave the dye in your hair for a shorter time.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/4c/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/4c/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-11-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-11-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Rinse the Kop-Aid mixture from your hair under cold water. Remove the wrap and turn on cold water in the shower or sink faucet. Wash the entire hair from root to tip under running water to wash off the mixture. Continue washing until the water is clear (or only very light in color).
- The time to wash your hair until the water is clear is about 10-20 minutes. [15] X Research Source
- Warm or hot water can cause the hair color to fade away. [16] X Research Source
- Do not use shampoo when washing the mixture out of your hair. Shampoo can wash away and fade some of the dye. [17] X Research Source

Blow-dry or blow-dry your hair to see the final result. Dry your hair with a hair dryer or let it dry naturally. Once your hair is completely dry, you will see the effects of the Kop-Aid powder! Now you can style and enjoy your new hair!
- To keep the temporary color in your hair for as long as possible, you should wash it with cold water instead of hot water. [18] X Research Sources
- You can use warm water or heat tools to style your hair, but don’t forget that heat will make the color fade faster.
- It may take a few tries before you find a formula that works for your hair. Remember that if you have dark hair, the color will go up very slightly.
Add colored stripes in the hair

Place a piece of wrapping film or foil behind a section of hair. Start with clean, dry hair. Lift a small section of hair and place a rectangular plastic wrap or foil behind the section. [19] X Source of Study Place wrapping film or foil at the hairline and support the back with your hand.
- Decide how many stripes you want to create in your hair and cut a piece of foil or foil for each stripe.
- If you want to create thin highlights, apply color to several strands of hair on the same piece of wrapping film or foil.

Use the highlighter brush to apply the Kop-Aid mixture to a section of hair about 2.5cm wide. Take some pre-mixed Kop-Aid mixture on the dye brush and spread it on your hair. Apply color from root to tip, covering the entire hair.
- Use your hand to support the back of your hair and underneath the wrap or foil.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/5c/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/5c/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-15-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-15-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Fold the wrap or foil around the colored hair. To prevent the dye from sticking to other sections of hair, tightly fold the wrap or foil around each dyed section of hair. [20] X Research Source
- If your hair is longer than the wrapping or foil, roll the ends into a small bun close to the roots before folding the foil.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/a/a9/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/a/a9/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-16-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-16-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Secure each section of hair with a hairpin or hair band. Once you’ve applied the dye to the small section of hair and wrapped it in plastic wrap or foil, flip it over to separate it from the layers underneath. Thread the speculum hairpin under the base or the middle of the small section of hair that has just been dyed to secure it on the top of the head.
- If you’re using hair wrap, try using a hair tie to create small buns. [21] X Research Source
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/c/c0/Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye- Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/c/c0/Dye-Hair-with-Kop- Aid-Step-17-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Dye-Hair-with-Kop-Aid-Step-17-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,” bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser-output”></div>”}
Continue to apply the dye to small sections of hair until there are enough stripes. The easiest way to create stripes is to start at the top of the head and clip each section of hair wrapped in foil while working downwards. Once you’ve created enough color stripes as desired, check again to make sure the wrapped sections are securely clamped. [22] X Research Source
- If you’re creating a lot of streaks, consider wrapping your hair in a plastic bag or a few long pieces of hair wrap to hold it in place while you wait for it to color.

Leave the dye on your hair for about 15 minutes to 5 hours. Depending on the thickness of the hair and the natural color of the hair as well as the intensity of the desired hair color, you can leave the dye on the hair for an appropriate time. [23] X Research Sources
- If you want a really bold color, leave the color in for 5 hours.
- If you have light hair and just want to dye it lightly, don’t keep the color for longer than an hour.

Dissolve 3-4 sachets of Kop-Aid powder in 2 cups (480 ml) of hot water. Instead of mixing a paste to spread on your hair, you will mix dye water to dip the ends of your hair. Pour the Kop-Aid powder packets into a bowl of hot water and stir to dissolve the powder. [25] X Research Source Wait about 3-5 minutes for the water to cool down.
- Choose the Kop-Aid color you like or mix 2 colors together to get the desired color.
- Use more Kop-Aid packs if you want a darker color, especially if you have dark hair.

Part the hair in the middle of the head to part it into two low ponytails. Make sure your hair is clean and dry before dyeing. While waiting for the water to cool, divide your hair into left and right sections. Tuck your hair over your shoulders to the front and tie your hair into two low ponytails. [26] X Research Sources

Dip the ends of each ponytail into the dye water. Let the ends of the hair soak in a bowl of Kop-Aid dye water for about 15-30 minutes. If you have dark hair or want the color to go really deep, soak your hair in the dye for longer. With fine or light-colored hair, you only need to soak for 15 minutes to make the ends of the hair stand out.
- Try dipping your hair in the dye a few times for a darker color. This is also useful if you want the transition between the ends of your dyed hair and the rest of your hair to be softer. [27] X Research Source

Squeeze the damp hair in a paper towel to squeeze out the dye. When the soaking time is up, lift the ends of your hair out of the dye water and squeeze some of the water into the bowl. Use a paper towel to absorb any remaining water in your hair. [28] X Research Sources
- Remember to still wear gloves during this process, as Kop-Aid water can contaminate your hands.

Wrap your hair in a plastic wrap if you want to soak the dye longer. For a darker color or if you have darker hair, let the color soak into your hair longer. Use a hair tie to secure a plastic bag or film around the ends of dyed hair. This step will trap some moisture while the color soaks into the hair. [29] X Source of Study Leave on for up to 2 hours, or until hair is dry.
