    Thinking to dye my hair and beard for Paddy's day and was hoping to go bright orange/carrot. Does anyone have any advice on what product would be best for the short term effect?

    Mix of a bowl of custard and add in 4 egg yolks (remove the white).
    Stir in some treacle and leave for 10 mins.
    Apply over hair / beard and allow to dry.

    Domestos and food colouring works wonders.

    You're not truly Irish if your beard is not already a shade of ginger/orange :D

    Look in Boots or another similar shop and they sell hair dyes that wash out in 1 wash, one of these would be your best bet, the only other way to get green/orange hair would be to bleach it first, which would be a lot of hassle for 1 day.

    Rub loads of Veet in to it, that should do the job

    Go to Boots, or similiar big pharmacy.

    Pick up some of that instant colour hairspray in green, white and orange.

    Spray beard.

    Wash out the next day.

    I wouldn't do it if I was you.

    You'll be too cool. You won't get a moment's peace for all the women wanting to sleep with you.

    Beware of semi-permanent dyes. I put one in that was supposed to last for 6-8 shampoos. Eight months later it still hasn't washed out :mad:
