How to dye brown hair green for one night?

The style I'm going for is my hair up in a pony tail with two small strands hanging down framing my face. These two strands would be dyed green (preferably a neon green). I only want it in my hair for 1 night (though i could handle, at most 3). Because I have brown/reddish hair, they say I have to lighten my hair to strip it of its brown. But since I only want those two small strands dyed, and for so short of a time, I don't want those two strands to be a lighter shade than the rest of my hair when it finally comes out. Suggestions?

How to dye brown hair green for one night?

If you want it for only one night, try looking for spray on hair color, or if you wouldn't mind the strands being stiff, there are places where you can find hair gel in funky colors.

Try looking online in some costume stores or something. Maybe even hot topic?

haha, I ran into this problem so many times. The thing is, they're right, you're going to have to lighten your hair in order to get the shade of green you're looking for. You could always go to claire's or any beauty supply place and get little green extensions and wear them for the night. That would easily solve the problem of you not wanting to lighten your hair!

You can get non toxic hair spray in a can, just like spray paint for hair. It is available at all big retailers and mega marts and hair salon suppliers. The stuff we got was less than $10.

It washes out relatively easily but does have some interaction with existing artificial color. They recommend testing first. I have never done that. It always washed out in a day or two.

have Fun!
