I have dark brown hair. Darker than chocolate brown, but lighter than black.

I want a temporary, as in, very temporary, dye to get my hair colored like this...





I live in Wales so make sure your suggested colorant product is available here in the UK. ;)

Sally's hairsupply has colored sprays that just spray on and wash off.....I use to use a burgundy mousse....it would have taken alot to make it your color that you showed...goodluck....

I'm sorry I don't have personal experience with any products which would be available to you in the UK... but I'd also like to point out an observation about the color swatch you provided.
I suspect your hair is too dark to acheive that color with a temporary dye.  I think you would have to lift a couple of levels first.  :(
But some color products (which I have only heard of, not used) that you might try are "Fudge" brand temporary dyes and color sprays, as well as Superdrug Effects temporary colorant.
Good luck!

Probably an unobtainable color.

Have you checked out Fudge temporary dyes and color sprays or Superdrug Effects temporary colorant?

I used to use manic panic in vampire red and got a similar color. I did find that it washed out pretty quickly on dark hair (but on light hair,forget it)
