lalalala.
I have dark brown hair, with bleached strands through which have been dyed red by my hairdresser which have gone like bright red. n the rest WAS all a dark brown, dark, dark red.
I have since then thrown over red dyes to get more red, which has gone perfectly fine!
If i bleach my own hair, myself only bits of it, and get a red hair dye will it be ok? Not go ginger or yellow or green.
Answer
Red dye over bleached hair can get really orange-y, so definitely let your stylist do the red part. You also want to be careful of what's in your bleach product and your stylist's dyes. Even though you rinse your hair really well, the hair shaft can still be coated in color. If the product you use is incompatible with your stylist's product, it could fry your hair.
If you're looking for an auburn kind of red, you might like the results you get using body art quality henna. Make sure you find BAQ, though, because any lesser quality could potentially react to the bleaching process just as badly as traditional dyes.

My hair is an ashy blonde. I've dyed it before and it held onto the red colour really well. Does anyone know of a shampoo or natural way of bringing out red highlights in hair? I look so much better with red or gold tones that they blue ash tone I have naturally but I don't want to dye it or use henna.
Answer
Tea! You can make hair rinses out of tea that will not only nourish your hair, but provide a little bit of color as well. Find as many red-colored herbs or fruit+herb mixtures that you can. Raspberry tea, cherry tea, and cranberry tea all yield a reddish color. You could also use juices, but they won't nourish the hair, they'll probably make the hair sticky. Make the tea very strong and put it in a pitcher to cool. After you've rinsed out your conditioner and turned off your water, pour the rinse over your hair. You likely won't have to wash it out. Try this when you have some time to kill, that way you'll know how your hair will react (if it will be sticky, if the tea will need to be rinsed out of the hair afterward, etc.). I know that Celestial Seasonings Raspberry Zinger tea is very red.
You could also try dark red beer. Beer is wonderful for the hair because it contains hops, which naturally softens hair and skin.
Both tea and beer (but beer to a greater extent) will provide your hair with luster and shine. It's even better if you use them cold right after a warm shower; the blast of coldness will cause the hair shaft to harden much more quickly than it would on its own, increasing the shine and manageability of your hair. It may take a couple of rinses and trial and error before you see results in color, though.
Medium roast coffee will also bring out depth in your hair, and the caffeine will stimulate your scalp, which will increase the circulation of blood to the surface of the skin, aiding in hair growth and helping the scalp naturally distribute oils to the rest of the hair shaft, which would make your hair shiny. Everything we put on our skin contains chemicals that get absorbed into our bloodstream, but a very minimal amount of caffeine would actually make it in. Afterward, you could use the coffee grounds to make a body scrub for yourself. You could do the same thing with any tea leaves you have left-over -- I mix little concoctions of loose tea leaves, herbs, and coffee grounds all the time. Sorry, I know that's irrelevant to your question, but, hey, beauty can be cheap. Really cheap. So I thought I'd throw that in there.
Good luck! And, remember, if you don't see results right away, give it a little bit of time. Our eyes rarely pick up on slight differences in color. You might have to take pictures of your hair to get an objective idea of whether your rinses are working; that way, you'll know which teas to keep using and which ones to stop buying. If you find that any of these darken your hair too much for your liking, you can use chamomile tea with a squirt of lemon to lighten the hair. You can also make nourishing hair masks out of honey that will lighten hair as well.
This is a bit scattered, I know. I'm in a bit of a hurry.
