You can create a temporary hair dye using conditioner and food coloring.
Here's a simple method to make temporary hair dye:
DIY Temporary Hair Dye
| Item | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Thick Conditioner | ½ cup |
| Food Coloring | A few drops (adjust as needed) |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base: Pour half a cup of thick conditioner into a bowl.
- Add Food Coloring: Add a few drops of your chosen food coloring to the conditioner.
- Mix Thoroughly: Mix the conditioner and food coloring until the color is evenly distributed.
- You can add more food coloring for a brighter shade or use less for a pastel look.
Example:
- To achieve a bright pink, you might add 5-10 drops of red food coloring.
- For a lighter, pastel pink, start with 1-2 drops and add more as needed.
Important Notes:
- This method creates a temporary hair dye that will likely wash out after one or two washes.
- Use a thick, white conditioner for best results as it helps the color show up better.
- Always do a strand test before applying the dye to your entire head to ensure you like the color and that it doesn't stain your hair in a way you dislike.
- Be cautious when using food coloring around clothes and other porous materials, as it can stain.
- The reference states, "Take ½ a cup of a thick conditioner and mix a few drops of any food coloring of your choice. You can go for a brighter shade by adding more food coloring or just keep it pastel and breezy."
