You must need :

1) Hair bleaching (powder + developer 9% or 12%)

2) Hair dye color (for coontails)

3) Scotch tape

4) Hair straighteners

5) Hair dye brush or new painting brush

6) Towel

How to do it :

Before everything getting started, be sure about the color you want to make coontails/racoon stripes on hair. If you have black/others dark hair, then red, light blue, neon green, pink, light purple, yellow, orange, or light blonde would looks best on you. If you have blonde/light hair, then lucky you because all colors would suit on you. If you get your options, straightening your hair with hair straightener. This will be very helpful to "draw" your coontails. MAKE IT REALLY STRAIGHT. Then, bleach your hair that ONLY you would like to put coontails on it. Bleaching o dark hair may need few process to get the light hair. So, do bleach your dark hair 3-5 times. When your desired hair turns brighten like blonde, go on with racoon stripes.

Take your hair and put scotch tape on the area that you won't get hair dye. Put the scotch tape TIGHTLY. No worries about this, scotch tape will easily get off your hair when rinse. Okay, so start painting stripes on your non-taped hair. Gently but boldly spread the dye with hair dye brush or new painting brush or just simply use your finger. After it's all done, wait for 30 minutes before rinse. When 30 minutes is done, rinse it off gently and the scotch tape will pull off by itself from your hair. Then, towel dry your hair -- don't use hairdryer.

There it is.! Your own coontails is born.. :))
