Crazy Hair

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.

If you want to have a brilliant rich hair experience don't do the spray on stuff or do it at home. Get a professional salon to do it and you can get this result.

I'll have to disagree with that statement, but then again I have a couple years of expierence in doing this kind of stuff. lol

For my bright Orange Hair in 2006 & 2007 I bleached my hair (almost to an extent of being white) (Me on the right : http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24904 ) & then added some great spray on color stuff called: "Streaks & Tips Temporary Highlight Spray Color - Neon Orange."
I found it at a Beauty Supply store one of my other team mates bought some hair glue at and it works wonders... It washes right out with water and shampoo at the end of the day which is a plus for going back to work or school after competitions as well. lol And don't be fooled by the stuff they sell at halloween to color your hair. It's ok, but it's not as bright as this stuff. This is the brightest orange coloring I have found so far.

This was the result: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/24815 (Me on the far right again)
I have a better picture showing the ultra brightness of the coloring I'll have to link later. I can't access facebook to get to my pics from work.

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)

If you can get in touch with a person who cuts hair regularly, or as a hobby, they may have some more suggestions. (I'm lucky as my Mom who went to hairdressing school at one time in her life is my consultant nowadays. lol I can do some crazy stuff & get some awesome ideas from her.)

And, one more thing. The bleach @ home kit isn't that hard. They basically give you bleach powder & you add some water. Then you literally paint the bleach on your hair with a paint brish they give you as well.
It does sting your scalp though if you go that far down.
I didn't know that the first time I did it.

yeah that is basically what the pro's do. Most people I've seen at the events don't go to all that bother.

342 made a bet with the judges and the judges lost. We asked a couple safety judges to dye their hair. One jokingly said, " Do you have information about the chemicals in the dye?" So our safety captain sent all night in her hotel room writing a MSDS for every chemical in the hair dye. She even drafted some of the local chemical engineering students to help. The next day the judges had no choice.
