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.... ------------- Linda :) |

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! ------------- Strand test, strand test, strand test! |

Probably an unobtainable color. |

| 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) |
