I'm going as Ed Elric to Kumoricon all 3 days and I can't decide what to do about my hair. It's light brown and I cant decide what to do since I don't want my hair to be blonde permanently, or for an extended period of time. Since my hair takes really well to any kind of coloring I don't want to use any ordinary off-the-shelf dye. I found this 'color pulse' stuff thats supposed to wash out after 8-10 shampoos but it may or may not work. Should I leave my hair as is, risk having it look even worse, or do you have any other suggestions? Do you know of any other product or something that might work better?

i tried that dying thing... for too nonetheless... wigs work better ^^;;;
-
Uh-uh! No wigs! Thats a disaster waiting to happen! Plus I'm almost at the limit of my costume budget. Almost. I have about $20 left at my expense.

A wig's probably better for your hair.

party city has really cheap wigs. i got one there. i mean, it doesnt fall apart or tangle, but i wouldn't want to wear it regularly for 10 years. but it's pretty decent

I am going to color my hair. It will probably end badly but I will try all the same.

Hmmm I guess I'm going to try and dye my hair with this level 1 (on the permanent scale meaning it washes out in like 6 shampoos) coloring and if that turns out badly I'll vigourously wash it out and try another dye thats also level 1, and if THAT looks bad I'll scrub it all out and pray that I have any hair left to put in a braid, the wrong color or otherwise xD
I would try a wig except I'd imagine it'd be horribly uncomfortable, a little spendy and the closest place I could even buy a wig is miles and miles away as far as I know. My above method will cost me about $10, so thats good with me. [/cheapskate]

if your hair is brown, no DYE is going to make it more blonde... Light brown or not, there is no temporary way to lighten your hair. It just doesnt happen. I would recomend a wig..

My hair was dark brown while being the Count from Gankutsuou.

You shoulda come to Arlene and my panel! We talked about this and different hair products.
If you don't want it permanent, buy some cheap spray colour from a party store.
