I have wondered this and had to do a little research and found out that the first annual Crazy Hair Day celebration took place in San Diego on Wednesday, March 10, 2004. Jennifer Case Nevarez and author Barney Saltzberg met at the annual Society of Children’s Book Writer’s and Illustrators in Los Angeles, Jennifer suggested the crazy idea based on the book Crazy Hair Day by Barney Saltzberg. They teamed up with the Children’s Museum and Starbucks to launch a city-wide reading campaign in San Diego to promote the joy of reading and build community . More than 500 BOOKS were donated by Starbucks Coffee Company. More than 500 VOLUNTEERS and celebrity readers read to more than 8,000 children and adults in more than 120 LOCATIONS in San Diego. More than 1500 children and adults WORE CRAZY HAIR according to weebly.com)

Does co*ke make your hair shiny? ›

Anabel Kingsley, Trichologist: Coca-Cola makes hair look shinier as it is acidic (so closes the cuticle). Other ingredients like high fructose corn syrup would make the hair sticky and gritty. It won't actually clean the hair or scalp, which would be a problem in the long term, especially for the scalp.

What does rinsing your hair with co*ke do? ›

How do I keep my hair nice during the day? ›

You've got two options. First option, use your anti-frizz serum to touch up as you need throughout the day. Warm the product up in your hands and apply to dry hair to banish these flyaway hairs. “Another solution is spraying hairspray onto a comb and styling, rather than spraying directly onto your hair.”

How to color kids hair for crazy hair day? ›

For light hair: Just rub the chalk onto hair and apply a bit of hairspray to hold it in place. For dark hair: Mix a few drops of water with ground up/powdered chalk to make a thick paste. Apply the paste to hair and allow to sit for 30 minutes.

How do you manage crazy curls? ›

Always apply product from ends toward scalp in a scrunching motion; this helps keep your curls true to form; if you apply from the scalp down you risk pulling the curl which can cause hair to become fluffy and lose those bouncy defined curls we want. Avoid over touching, let your curls do what they do best, curl.
