I don't really like using wigs so dying is my only option... washout would be nice... non permanent ones xD

Sadly, if you have black hair the only thing temp dyeing is going to achieve is a red tinted black at best. The only way to turn black hair red is by lightening it either first (eg bleach), or in the process of dyeing (eg ammonia based dyes), and lightening the hair is never temporary. sad

On the topic of temporary dyes, though - this (old!) thread may help give you a bit of info on what's out there: http://forum.cosplay.co.nz/t2270-has-anyone-used-fudge-s-paintbox-hairdye-before

You MIGHT be able to get something thats more like paint to work. Colour that goes over your hair, rather than in it. Like something in a spray can? Maybe, if you're lucky.

Dying black hair anything other than a mild tint is like asking someone to use yellow felt-tip pen on black paper.
