Thanks to everybody for your kind words, comments and suggestions. I've decided to maintain the red color for the time being, though I am fickle and may eventually do something else. I'm going to try the stronger developer to help cover up the roots. Thank you!

Ah! Let me begin by answerring ur q. I actually use prof. color and buy the developer seperate that way i can choose the strength i want. Regular store bought dyes usually contain no more than 20 vol. developer. Not nearly enough to lift darker color.
You might wanna try a beauty supply or a sally's. You can then buy a permanent red color along with a developer bottle from the same company as the color or a generic developer, in 30 volume. There's actualyl this one permanent color that i haven't tried personally but it contains less than 1% ammonia and u can choose developer strength. Its called Satin color and while i haven't seen it at sally's i have seen it available at most other beauty supplies. Its italian and has a wide variety of shades. Otherwise any permanent color at sally's should be good.

I used Couleur Experte the first time. IT contains highlights and permanent color. I did the highlihgts on my hair before I applied the color. Last month, I bought some sort of highlighting kit for darker hair, highlighted the roots, and used a semi permanent color. The rest of the hair is maintaining its color, but the roots. I don't get the roots.
You mentioned a 30 developer---how would I know what strength the developer is? In the ingredients list? Thank you!!!

Which looks better, redhead or brunette? I'm currently a redhead, and to achieve the color, I bleach and then apply red haircolor. The problem I'm having is that I can't seem to get the dark brown roots to stay bleached/red, even though I feel like I get as close to the scalp as I can during both processes. This is really a 2 part question: Red or Brunette? Secondly, how do I get the roots to stay red?
