Can I add temporary, non toxic color to my toddlers hair for Halloween?

[myfairbabies]

My 16 mo is going to be a rockstar for Halloween, and along with a sweet mohawk (gotta love that crazy baby hair), I was thinking it might be fun to add a little bit of pink. She has very blonde hair, so I worry about it never coming out! I don't want to do koolaid, I've heard that with really light hair it sometimes never washes out. I also read about using a crayola washable marker for streaks, would that work? I also have white-blonde hair, so I might try it in mine before putting it on her. Any other ideas?

I have a friend who regularly lets her girls do the washable crayola markers. Looks super cute and seems to wash out just fine.

Thanks! Did they have light hair?

If she has really blond hair I would use caution. My sister MIL is a natural white blond and did some red spray in color ... it didnt all wash out and she had pink hair for a while.

My 6mo DD is going to be an 80s rockstar for halloween. I'm still trying to figure out what to use. I'm considering blueberries or blackberries or something. Her hair is a bit darker, but not really dark. She also has way less hair, but I want to dye her little baby curl. Since she's SO young I've decided not to use anything I wouldn't feed her.

I did the spray stuff in a can on ds a few months ago for crazy hair day at his school. It stinks, so you probably don't want to use that. I also did regular semi permanent hair dye because he wanted hearts dyed in his hair (so I'm probably not a great judge of what is temporary :P )

I think they make comb in stuff that you can usually get near the halloween stuff. It is essentially colored mascra that washes out.

I'd say one girl has blond, the other medium blond/light brown. The blond one is not QUITE as light as your dd's.

I don't know if you were even considering it, but don't use the spray stuff on super light blond hair. I once had pink hair for a month in 6th grade.

Thanks everyone! I think I'll go with the markers, or maybe look into food. I wonder how well beet juice stains...

Beet juice is actually what everyone keeps recommending to me.

I can't decide what color I want to go for, though.

I have been warned that it's easy to stain the scalp.
