Moms never win

Let me add one more thing about what matters in life. 4 years ago, our granddaughter was diagnosed with a very rare childhood cancer at the age of 8. Now her Dad (my son-in-law) is pretty conservative. When they found out that she was going to have to have chemo and that she was going to lose all of her hair, they first allowed her to cut her hair into a Mohawk and then let her dye it bright pink. After almost a year of chemo, she was allowed to have her ears pierced -- another thing her Dad wouldn't let her do. Why, because in the scope of things -- those things didn't seem to matter anymore. She is now a 4 year cancer survivor.

I'm so glad she's 4 years out... that must have been so difficult for everyone.


OP - tell your dd to just call you 'debbie downer' from now on.

Tell her to use Kool-Aid instead.
It's cheap easy and lasts forever.
When my God daughter did it, I swear
it lasted for 3 years ! She however was
not a regular swimmer.
BTW Her hair is dark bown and she used
cherry to get burgundy streaks.

Can you explain to me just HOW to use kool-aid as a hair dye? What steps, how to mix it, whatever...my DD has been wanting to play with the hair color and hey, I'm cheap

I'm curious about how this would work too, especially with dark brown hair like my DDs. The color she uses now has bleach in it so as to strip down the existing color. I'm having a hard time envisioning how the kool-aid could cover dark brown hair well enough to give the dramatic look she wants. And not fade? Do you have to bleach the hair first?
