Dye Brown over red hair color?

sweeteyez0

I dyed my hair using a semi permanent raspberry color a while back and its starting for fade. Now i want a different color. What will my hair look like if I put a semi permanent red based brown over it. The color is cedar red brown.

Answer
You can do it, it may not end up the full color on the box.

I want to die my hair a fire engine red color without having to go to a salon I saw a box dye that I liked?

Should I bleach my hair before using the box die?? Also my hair color fadeds pretty quick would the color fade to the bleach or just light red??

Answer
Bleach your hair. Especially if you have a dark hair color. If you dye your hair red while your hair is a dark color, the red is darkened by the black and never comes out to a bright color. Bright colors tend to wash out and fade in the shower but it won't completely go back to the bleached color. It will be a very dull red.

Where to buy good quality red hair dye?

Hi everyone,

I would like to know where to buy good quality red hair color. At the moment, my hair is longer then shoulder-length. The color is medium ash brown with 2-3 inches light tips (colored with L'Oreal's Medium Ombre). The only reason I colored it like that is because I am 31 and I feel like I shouldn't do crazy hairdos or colors anymore, but all this time I am feeling like something is missing. So, I decided to put red over it, so that my brown hair is actually auburn and my tips are screaming crazy red, with a few highlights here and there.
I have problems finding a good red hair color. I've just ordered a jar of Manic Panic's RED PASSION, but that color is semi-permanent and I want something that's going to last at least 5-6 weeks.
Does anyone have an advice on where to find similar hair color that is permanent? Or do you think that if I mix some regular (store-bought, for example: L'Oreal's Feria or similar) red color, it would last longer?

Thank you!

Answer
are you looking for permanent or semi/demi permanent? If you're looking for permanent, Garnier, L'oreal and Clairol all make pretty good at home box dyes. I've provided a Garnier colour swatch below.
if you want a semi-permanent dye, or if you want to buy one and mix a little bit in with your conditioner (which is a good way to keep it from fading as fast), then Punky Colour makes a very pigmented red called 'Red Wine'.
For the best upkeep for red hair, I would use a colour safe shampoo. Seeing as shampoo strips the hair, you'll need something with no sulfates or Sodium Lareth Sulfate. A good shampoo for red-heads, ironically enough, is Redken. They make a shampoo called colour-extend (which I have), and it is very good quality. Avoid drugstore shampoos, because these contain a lot of silicone which means you'll have to use a strong cleansing shampoo to get rid of the build-up more often, which isn't good for red or any colour-treated hair.
You can purchase permanent hairdye at Walmart, Costco, CVS, Kroger, Ultah, Sally's, etc.
You can purchase Punky Colour @ Hot Topic, Sally's, etc. or online at Folica.com.

Hope this helps!

Should I get red streaks or red tips?

I have dark brown hair and I'm going to use a red 'Splat' hair color box. I don't know if I should get red streaks or tips. And will it work out well considering my dark hair?

Answer
red tips. ONE red streak would look good (on the underneith of your hair -

but if your doing multiple streaks throughout your entire head like this

or you could try dying all the underneith portion of your hair the red color.

How will my hair colour turn out?

I am about to dye my hair, the colour im dying it is a dirty blonde. The box says if you have red hair the colour will turn out a red blonde. I have bits of red in my hair, I'm also using 2 boxes. Will it still turn out red or can the dye by any chance over power the bits of red?

Answer
I just did this and it went horribly. I went to a hair dresser. And the only thing she did was mix in a toner with a blonde hair dye not bleach. And you really really want to get an ash blonde not one with red in it unless you want brassy or coppery colour.
Also she recommended that I get a purple shampoo. I am pretty sure this is just shampoo for blondes with a little bit of toner in it. It is actually purple in colour.
