My hair is blonde but I need to color it black and (hopefully) be able to wash out the coloring the next day.

I was thinking of Just for Men but I have no idea as I've never colored/dyed my hair before.

Any other ideas?

I have sandy blond hair and wanted to do the same thing that you did when I was in high school and dressing for Halloween, and used a "temporary" black dye. Turns out it wouldn't come out basically at all, and even trying some chemical stuff only got it to be a mid-brown color, so it had to grow out. Just an FYI

If it needs to be gone the next day I would suggest a wig.
The cheap stuff will be running out that night and making a mess on your face.

The expensive, professional stuff will work well but it wont come out after just one day.

Black is tough, a wig is the way to go. Even the spray won't likely be gone by the next day.

I read the topic as "I need to color my back hair for Halloween," which made me think OP was going as a punk wookiee. Honestly, kind of a cool idea, if I were large and hairy, I might try it.
