Believe me, it'll wash right out. I went through a stretch last summer where I did that to my hair every day. Talk about RATE! I quite like the look, and it was a nice change from pretty and feminine. All you do is backcomb it, douse with hairspray, and repeat. I have to throw in a few passes with the flatiron to straighten my wavy hair, but that step wouldn't be necessary for everyone.
