I don't really know if hair dyes come in certain colors like that, but who knows?! haha. If you have enough spare money I think buying a wig would be best. Maybe manic panic will have colors like subaru's... I am not too sure :)

Amphigory would have the kind of colour you're looking for, but it would not be a simple wash-out dye. It's demi-permanent, which means it will stay in for several weeks minimum.

Color Jamz is also very good, and it comes in a teal color... if you bleach your hair first, your hair will come out pretty good. and usually there is enough in the bottle for a second application for touch ups. ^ ^ hope that helps. you can get Color Jamz at Sallys.... and i just read that you said it needs to wash out... ^ ^' ah well, if you decide to go demi-permanent, Color Jamz is good.

They have wash out dyes at Sallys too, both natural and non. Hot Topic has dyes in bold colors and I think some might wash out. I recommend trying Hottopic.com.

It isn't as good as a dye, but the cheap spray-on colors you buy at drug stores around halloween or in the 'novelty' or costume stores during the rest of the year will get you an amazing color (even if you don't bleach before hand) and it will wash out almost completely with one shampoo. I sprayed my hair red for a Mary Jane costume when my BF dressed up as Spidey and it looked really quite amazing. Your hair doesn't shine much with it in, and you have to spray it after you've styled it because you will get crap on you if you touch it too much.
Cosplay a character you've never seen before...it makes you more special and everyone wants your photo.

The spray is an option but I don't readily go to it for anything because it's a dull impression of the color on your hair. Let's just say that if you wanted white, depending on your hair color, it would only turn out gray and even then, it would begin to flake off and become crusty.
