Thanks!Sounds like you have a lot of natural red in your hair. You have to use an ash color for example: light ash brown. You can also use a product by L'oreal called Drapper for dark tinted shades. You use it with permanent haircolor. It's used to soften excess red or gold tones. I think I bought mine at a super Wal-mart. It works pretty good. Red is really hard to work with. You might want to go to a professional if you've done a lot of coloring to your hair, it may be damaged. GOOD LUCK ~ k
