Step-by-Step Guide

   Step 2: Be sure that the Kool-aid does not have any "put in" sugars in it.

   Try to get the unsweetened kind so that way you would not have to deal with sticky hair. ,, Personally, I like to use conditioner.
   
   Don't worry about the expense of the conditioner, either.
   
   You can use it even if it's cheap. , Any type of plastic gloves is fine.
   
   If you don't care to get your hands a little dyed, then this step is not required. ,, Different hair lengths vary. ,,, Part your hair in four sections and try to evenly distribute the color to your ends in each of the four sections. ,,, For extra protection, you can wrap a scarf on your head after you have put on your plastic cap. ,, DO NOT shampoo. ,,, :)
