Koolaid is a powdered mix that you combine with water and sugar to make a flavored, sugary drink. In order to make it look enticing, Koolaid has a lot of food color in it. Hence why it is a convenient thing to use for dying dreads. Koolaid now comes in a variety of flavors and colors--several reds (strawberry, cherry, black cherry), several greens (lime, watermelon), blue (blue raspberry), and purple (grape)--plus pink (pink lemonade) and yellow (lemonade).
If you felt your dreads then dye them, felting again should not be necessary. All you do is dye, rinse, and let dry.
Hope that helps![/quote]
My question is how well does the color last, and do you have any problems with bleeding at any point after dyeing thru to wearing and washing? Than[/quote]
I've never used koolaid, so i can't speak to its colorfastness, but I have used liquid and paste food coloring a lot. The liquid and paste food coloring is VERY color fast--I've never had it run or fade at all.
