Is Koolaid damaging to hair?

I have hair that is about 4 inches above my knees (all my hair is one length)...and I'm going to a concert pretty soon and I was wanting to do some red streaks in the front....And I was wondering if Koolaid is damaging to hair...and if it comes out easily....If it is safe how would you apply it...

If it is not safe then would Hair mascara be better...and is it safe.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

I think Dave's right, Angelpog....please be careful about what you put on your hair! Locks as long as yours are rare and to be valued - and I'm sure you wouldn't want to damage them! Enjoy the concert...and keep on growing!

Hey, I streaked my long blonde hair in high school with red kool-aid, so I have experience here. I used lots of packets of red kool aid, and boiled it. It worked great, if you want your hair to be permanently bright red. It did not wash out at all until it grew out and I cut it. That`s the honest to goodness truth - go with it. If you want permanent, bright streaks or all-over color, kool aid works and doesn`t damage your hair - it just smells kinda fruity for awhile. Just remember that it`s very permanent, especially on light hair. Hope I helped.

I could never get koolaid to work.. hmph
