Elmer's Glue with Yellow Tempra paint, use Denerx to wash it out each night.

Paint................right......You can just as easily buy a wig and style it.

Well, there is this one spiking gel made by ICE. It's hard to find it in different colors, but you could try to google for a place to buy it. I only recommend it if you want a really spiked/gravity-defying style. But it'd probably be easier in the long run to just use a wig. If you try to use that gel, you may have to use hair glue as well, or elmer's glue to keep the spikes stable.

Glue and a few other styling products like ICE are one of the very little products that are strong enough to hold those spikes up.

Tia and I promote the use of a wig because it is just that much easier and the effects don't last nearly as long as say, bleaching your hair or painting it.....>.> Paint...whatever.

Yeah. The only way I could see you doing this without hurting your hair is to use the colored gel stuff.
