Okay...so it has more to do with hair dye than cosplay. ^^; But anyways...

I plan to colo my hair to math my cosplay costumes at this year's Anime Expo. However, I have no idea how I'm supposed to go from a purple color to a bright pink in the span of about 6-8 hours. =/ I'd really like to avoid wigs (expensive) and spray hair coloring (messy and icky looking), but other than that, I have NO idea what I want to do or how to go about doing it.

So, does anyone have any ideas? Suggestions for temporary hair color that'll look decent in your stereotypical dark colored hair? ^_^; Any help at all would be much appreciated.

You could always make wigs from different-colored cheap pom poms that they sometimes leave around in college games. But that would look ugly.

I thought you were cosplaying as yourself! With a big sword through the back!

I've never used it, but Hot Topic and such sell two week hair colors. That would probably be a step up from the terrible spray on garbage. I have no idea how well they work, and I'm not really sure there's much hope (without frying your hair) of getting hair as dark as your to be pink sans a wig. That's all I can really think of. . .

I think you'd be better off going pink first, and then doing purple, if only for the reason that purple is typically a darker color than pink. Although, what do I know? I've never colored my hair.

^_^ thanks for the help everyone. I've decided I'm gonna go cheap and just streak my hair one day and put the darker dye over it the second day. ( ..) Unfortunately, I don't think I can avoid using a wig for my Kan-chan costume. <.<; oh well.
