I know it is possible to dye your hair with food coloring and I was thinking about doing so, but I don't know what color nor if it would show up or not. I wanted to dye it blue or maybe green. At the moment my hair is a pinkish/red color with a blonde streak, if you can't see my hair in my avatar picture that well, here is a better picture and a link http://i48.tinypic.com/14cxr3q.jpg Has anybody ever dyed their hair with food coloring? And what color would show up best on my hair without bleaching it. Blue or green?

I've never done it myself, but I wouldn't recommend it. The color only lasts for a month or so, and it visibly fades every time you wash it. The best results really do come from bleaching and then dying with color.
