Now I'm going someplace new with a more experienced colorist. I know what I want -- how do I tell them what I want? [more inside]

How does hair color appear on a night vision camera? Though I am embarrassed to admit that I watch Ghosthunters, I have noticed several times that the hair of the men who have brown hair on the regular camera appears to be a dark color on the night vision camera as well. But, the two female investigators named Kris, who appear to both be brunettes on the regular camera, look like they have blonde hair on the night vision camera. How can everyone be brown-haired on the regular camera, but some look blonde on the night vision camera?

So I'd like to make my hair temporarily white (or maybe gray, bright white would be odd, but whatever) for Halloween. I need tips, including whether or not it's a good idea. My hair is naturally dirty blond, and quite long. I don't mind if it's white for a few weeks, but I would like it to eventually wash out. What kind of color should I buy, or should I just go with a wig? Any tips are welcome.

I'm blonde, but I've been coloring my hair red (permanent color) for the last year or so. I liked the red and all, but I'm ready to go back to my natural color. What can I do to fade the red a little faster without turning my hair into straw before I can get to a stylist (could be a couple of weeks)?
