did the sprayed color look ok? did the color look deep or washed out? did it last?

It all depends on how short your hair is. If it's fairly short you just need a dying brush and someone who can draw out the logo with the brush and dye.
My hair is short (about 0-3mm), and though it is harder to do i'm pretty sure that the brush method is the way to go, because I have a feeling it will have a more vivid color.

Leav,
If your hair is like it shows in your WAI, you could shave the symbols into the back and color your hair. It wouldn't take long for the hair to grow back. I've seen that done.
It is short and that's a great Idea... together with Elgin's Idea!

As far as a template, I know in the past I had my hair stylist cut some lightning bolts in my head, but I never thought of coloring it in. (I was like 10 at the time. lol)
That's awesome! but I might go Inverse! cut everything out that I dont want just leave the logo on...

so now I think I have two main options:
  • have my hair real short, then dye it all white and spray/brush the logo in (in both cases using a stencil)
  • shave it all off, except the logo part and color the hair that's left with a brush

the first option would look cooler if it was accomplished successfully I think, but it would be easier to mess up...
the second option would be easier to dye (and cheaper...), but wouldnt have the same effect I think...

I'll have to do a photoshop and see what either choice looks like...

Thanks for the help guys... i'll post the photoshop here when i'm done and you can help me decide..
