firstly food colouring wont work, it is not designed to take to the hair cuticles. if you are wanting a tempory colour use a semi permanent hair dye, there are lots on offer.

Do not bleach your hair! This permanently damaging it and you will have to intensively condition it to get it back to the condition you have now. Hair dye boxes indicate what the dye will do to your hair depending on its current shade using pictures. Normally you just have to wash your hair, then after towel drying rub in a cream which usually takes aroung half an hour ish to set, then wash out.

You may be able to find one suitable, if not get it professionally done, hair is really important to your entire look, you dont wanna mess it up!
