One of the easiest hair color ideas is temporary colors. These usually come in rinses, gels, mousses or sprays. They usually wash out in 2-3 shampoos, so there's even less of a commitment than with the semi-permanent colors.
The main reasons to use a temporary hair color are to restore hair to it's natural color if it's fading, neutralize a yellowish tinge in gray or white hair, tone down hair that's been over-highlighted so you don't have to do another chemical process or to boost your natural color. Results on gray or graying hair will be very subtle, so this is probably a good option if you have the few random gray hairs to disguise. Temporary color is not the way to go for big changes or to really cover/color gray.
The good thing is that you can really play with temporary colors. A lot of temporary colors come in sprays, gels and even hair mascara in some really funky colors. Some of them even work well on really dark hair. However, these products don't look remotely close to natural but are a lot of fun to play with!
The bad thing about temporary colors is they may not evenly cover your hair. They can also rub off on pillows or clothes and can also start to run if you get caught in the rain. (This happened to me in high-school when I was experimenting with blue hair. I ruined my favorite shirt, so that was the end of that.) Temporary color doesn't have much impact on dark hair but it can stain your natural color if you use it on light hair. The best bet is to stick to something close to your natural color if you use a temporary color.
If you're looking for temporary, fun hair color ideas, you'll find a lot of options in your local drug store. You can easily do these on your own and if you don't like it - just wash and rinse!
