or is there some dye thats really bright and i dont have to bleach it, cause honestly i dont wanna bleach my hair again! so help anyone???
Answer
You will have to bleach it. But since you only want to be a light red (I'm assuming flashy?) you won't need to bleach it for a long time.
When hair is bleached, it goes through 10 stages. For example, since your hair is dark brown, your underlying pigment in your hair is going to be red. This means that when you bleach your hair, you will notice your hair will first turn the color red (stages 1-4), then it changes to red/orange (5,6), then orange (7), then orange yellow (8), then yellow (9), then very pale yellow to white(10+).
With bleach, the lighter you go, the more damage gets done to your hair. So in your case, you don't have to worry much because you don't need to get to the yelloy pigment to get your red color.
When you apply the bleach, keep watching your hair in the mirror (in natural light works best) and rinse out your hair when it is orange looking. When it is at that stage then you can apply your red color (would be best with a violet base to tame the orange. I wouldn't use blue (or ash base) because then you would cut out the red entirely).
Good Luck!
