What are some alternatives to dying your hair black?

I've just been cast in Bye Bye Birdie as Rosie who is Spanish. However, I am a VERY fair-skinned, medium blond haired girl. The director wants my hair to be black for the show, but I've heard that BAD things can happen to blond if they use temporary black hair dye. Does anyone have any other suggestion!?!?!!?

There are hair rinses that wash out the next time you wash your hair......it is called Fanci Full. You can buy it at pretty much any department store. Comes in a variety of colors. Works really good, and it's pretty inexpensive. Buy some and try it before the play and see how it does, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS!!!!

DO NOT use manic panic or anything like that, it takes up to 6 weeks or more to fade and then I cannot guarantee that you're true hair color will come back
