Even temporary dye would be damaging to your hair, I agree, you can have loads of fun with henna and it's not damaging. You can get it online, or at organic food stores. Read articles online about how to use it...I've never found the instructions on the jar very helpful. Usually the amount of water they tell me to add is never enough to get it all wet, and I've heard you should even try boiling the water first and letting it sit hot on the henna for awhile to help extract the color, then using it on your hair after cooling (but I've never tried that).

There are tons of styles you can do with your hair. Have you ever been to http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com

The color is spectacular as it is. Do nothing. Just wear it proud. Braid it, bun it, let it loose. But don´t color it. I don´t understand the obsessions about coloring - most people already wear their best color. Look at you!
The more you complain, the longer God lets you live.

I agree with AnaisSatin!

Don't do anything you might regret with your beautiful color!

Have you thought about one of those clip-in streaks in hot pink or turquoise? Or one of those synthetic hair ponytail things?

I'd use clear henna or red henna-

I have heard of some people coloring a strand of their hair with Kool-Aid- but I would suspect this might be very difficult to remove.

GORGEOUS hair! I wouldn't use unnatural stuff on those pretty locks.. collect some hair squirrels from your brush, do a strand test, and use henna.

okay, so i've been growing my hair out for almost three years and it is officially long: 26 1/2". i absolutely love it, but i want to play with it. i have regular brown hair which i dont want to dye permanently, but i dont have a problem with temporary dye. i'm in college and its that time of my life when an unusual dye job seems like it would be fun. any ideas? braids, updos, any suggestions are welcome. here is a pic of my hair:
