It’s that time of year when costumes are on everyone’s mind. The prospect of becoming someone or something else for a day is fun for all of us no matter our age. Changing your hair color is often part of the process so here are some fun ways to dye your hair safely, and easily.

The most obvious way to temporarily dye your hair is to pick up colored hair spray or gel at your local beauty or costume store. Most of these products are safe to use and wash out with one shampoo and rinse. These are best to use for one event since they will rinse away after washing your hair. If you are a party hopper and you need to maintain the same look on multiple nights then you may want to use a semi-permanent dye.

There are several techniques you can try by using simple everyday products that you probably already have in your home. If you’re looking to obtain pastel-colored hair then chalk is the way to go. Just simply slide it on dry hair and spray it with hairspray and you’re all set.

Unsweetened Kool Aid can also be used but can last 2-6 weeks, so if you have a professional career, you may want to skip the Kool Aid. On average you’ll use about 6 packs of the powder and boil it in water in a saucepan. Let the liquid cool and then simply dip your hair in it for about 3 minutes.

Another easy temporary hair dye trick is to use colored mascara. You can literally brush it onto sections of your hair with your mascara brush. Let the mascara dry before touching it with anything to avoid stains. The mascara dye should only last for about 2 shampoos. There are so many easy ways to temporarily dye your hair. The important thing to remember is to have fun and don’t use any product that you’re not comfortable using.
