Dark/curly hair for Miss America Chavez cosplay?

I'm planning on cosplaying Miss America Chavez from Young Avengers for FanExpo this year. Super excited as the costume is pretty simple, and making the jacket is gonna be fun. (:

My problem is that I have light brown, straight hair, and Miss America has the whole big dark wavy curly hair thing going on.

It would be ideal if I could use some kind of hair glaze/semipermanent/temporary colour to make my own hair darker, but I don't want any cheap looking sprays or anything. From there I'd probably be able to curl my own hair and use styling products to make it bigger.

But if not, any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive black/darkbrown and curly/wavy wig would be AWESOME. It's my second ever cosplay, and I have like no experience with wigs, so bestow upon me your wig knowledge too.

I'm guessing this is the character.

For one it you hair not natural curly then get a wig. Unless you willing the shell out the money for a salon perm doing it yourself would fall it in a matter of hours.

Two there is no such thing a temporary black unless you willing to have a tint of black in for up to 6 month.

For cheap and curly ebay is you best gamble.


Here are some North American seller i trust.

THANK YOU!
Also, sorry for not providing an image reference. Also for knowing absolutely nothing about this stuff. And yeah, I think I'm going to go for a wig.
