My hair is naturally a brownish/black color.
About two years back I dyed the top half of my hair Black and the bottom half blonde (of course by a professional) so still have very light hair on the bottom half of my hair (about half way through) Similar to this:

Now, two years later i haven't really touched up the blonde (which was patchy due to the terrible work of the cosmetologist! >.< ) and eventually I just got tired of it and dyed it black with L'oreal's Feira in the color Bright Black: http://beautifulbutcold.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/07124923001_450x450_a.jpg

I have been dying my hair with this about every 5 weeks, longer than the directions suggest. But i found 5 weeks to be perfect, for me.

Once i decided i wanted to make the change to my hair and dye it red i went out and bought a color remover or color stripper called Color Oops :

This turned my blackish/blue hair into a medium brown, the naturally black part that is. What used to be blonde turned into an orangey/red color .. my hair is VERY splotchy with color. I now have brown,orange,red,black and even some blonde in my hair!!!

How can I turn this mess of a hair into a red that is constant throughout? and NOT patchy??

- I plan on using L'oreal's Hi Color for Dark hair only because this would prevent me from having to bleach my hair:

SN: I HAVE been researching red hair for a few months now, however , and realize how much effort goes into maintaining it an all of that!

I used A Hair Lighiting Gel & Would Wash It Out Realy Good . After About A Month Of Doing , My Hair Was The Lightiest I Wanted It & It Didnt Damage My Hair At All . Now The Blonde Part Is Ombred Purple To Pink . & I Had Very Dark Hair

Should I dye my hair dark red? [pictures included]?

I won't be bleaching my hair so it will probably be a bit darker/duller than in the link...

What do you guys think?
I'm really bored of my hair colour. That dye is only semi-permanent so it won't be forever

Answer
I'd say go for it. I like that color of red you want to dye your hair. It's sooo hot ;)!
