I have dyed blonde hair- can I make it temporarily darker?

I would like to do a dark "rinse" so look more brunette for a party.
Is this possible?

Nooooo don't do it. It'll have a horrible green hue. You need a pre-pigmentation treatment before you go dark and if you put a temp on it'll look terrible.

Speaking not as a hairdresser but as a previous blonde who tried to go dark twice with. It good results before using sense and getting it done properly at a salon!

No don't. That's exactly what my friend did, she wanted it light brown for a party. Did the temp washout colour, and didn't even leave it on long. It never washed out, she had to go pay the hairdresser to correct it.

Could a hairdresser do it then! As a semi permanent thing?

Or do you think some of that magic touch root spray would work?!?

Maybe try a wig?
I'd not go messing with dye

I used a "temporary" pink hair mask on bleached hair that was supposed to wash out in 5-6 washes. That was 4 months ago and the colour is only just fading now.
