red hair color upkeep image
endlessque
I have naturally red hair and no matter what hair color I pick from lightest blonde to jet black it just turns out to be a different shade of red from light strawberry blonde to deep garnet black as soon as the sun hits it all you see is red. Meanwhile, several of my friends who do not have naturally red hair have tried to dye their hair red and cannot get the pigment to stay in their hair so the upkeep becomes a nightmare. Are these common issues with trying to dye red hair or dye hair red?
Answer
It's true that red hair is the hardest color to achieve and also the hardest natural color to change, but for different reasons. Red tones are the hardest to maintain because they fade more quickly than any color. A color fading is caused by it losing its ability to absorb or reflect light. Blue can only absorb light and yellow can only reflect, but red both absorbs and reflects light. It loses both the ability to absorb and reflect, making it fade more quickly than any other color. Red hair is also the hardest hair color to color over, because of the nature of red melanin, also known as pheomelanin. Pheomelanin breaks down much less quickly than eumelanin, or brown melanin. This is why some people with red hair can never bleach their hair all the way to platinum blonde, even when their hair is very light. The red just doesn't get broken down. It works the same with a permanent color. The color cannot lift all of the red tones out of the hair, and warmth in hair is pretty hard to hide, even if you put an ash color over it. It is possible, just difficult. Hope that answers your questions!

What is the most manageable unnatural hair color dye?

What hair color (i.e. red, blue, green, purple, teal etc.) is easiest to manage?
I also have black/dark brown hair.
Answer
Personally I think pink or dark purple/blue is easiest to manage. The brilliant reds take crazy amounts of upkeep, and greens look pretty gross as they fade. A dark purple or blue adheres to the follicle pretty well to start with and doesn't fade as badly as other colors, and pink lasts decently and doesn't look as weird when the color starts to fade (and if it's with blond or light brown roots, it looks pretty as it grows out too.)
