How to make a child's hair black (temporarily)

Question

I would like my one year old son to be Elvis for Halloween this year. He has light brown hair and would like to make it dark black, what should I use. Obviously I want it to be safe..do they make black spray that washes out easily? A wig is out of the question, he will just keep pulling it off. Any suggestions??

Answer 1

go with the spray....my son and i dressed up as sonny and cher one year and we both used it.  it came out with no problems at all for either of us.  good luck and have fun.....

Answer 2

the sprays do wash out. it just takes it a couple of days to get it off of his scalp. escpecailly if it gets on the back of is neck. be ready to SCRUB his neck.

Answer 3

They sell really easy to wash color hair spray at party city and most party stores.  Also try walmart closer to halloween it comes in a bunch of different colors including glow in the dark.

Answer 4

Drugstores carry a black hair spray in a can around Halloween that washes out with soap and water after one application. Dyeing your child's hair with kool aid (especially one that young) is insane, please don't do that.

Answer 5

we used to "dye" our hair with kool aid

a really potent blend of it

i would try grape with sme blue maybe orange till it turns black

will be that color for about ten washes

happy halloween
