what color red for dark brown hair?

priincessj

i have boring long dark brown hair. i was thinking of putting red underneath my hair, just like blonds put brown or black underneath their hair.
If you have any pictures, and what color red should i do. I want it a little darker so itm kinda blends in. Nothing really wild, but definitely noticiblee. thankk youu.

Answer
I think you should go for a reddy brown, because it'll only slightly change your hair, but make it look different enough to be noticible.. Red dye fades really quickly, there's something in the pigment that stops it from staying in your hair, so you can never get it permenant, so if you do a browny red it'll hopefully just fade into your natural hair colour and you can redye it if you want then :) I've just realized that this probably wasn't the kind of answer you were looking for, sorry :S

How to dye dark hair into another colour ? ?

Soph

i have dark brown/black hairand i want it to have a red or pruple tint, what sort of dye would i use? and how strong should the dye be? would it work, is there any sites with a colour guide to what my hair might turn out to be .. oh and i dont want to bleach my hair either (:

Answer
If your hair is naturally dark brown, you may be able to get a good dark red with out bleaching. Just buy a permanent hair color that is a red you like.

To get purple or if your hair is already colored, you will have to bleach first and then put the purple on top of that. I is likely that it will fade to pastel within weeks if it has been bleached first though.

Do a strip in the back under the rest of your hair first to see if the color is what you want. (If using permanent hair color, mix only a little to do this. The stuff won't keep very long if it is already mixed.)
