Lyris is totally right.Did you put it over virgin hair? If your hair can take it you can color it again. Remember that you will be putting a color over another color so try to fade the tint that you don`t like as much as you can so you can get a true shade.Otherwise your roots will be a slightly different shade than your lengths when you do your regrowth. Use a clarifying shampoo and some hot oil treatments.Hot oil usually fades color.Dandruff shampoo really fades color alot too.
I LOVE red hair. I use the pro line of L`Oreal called Mega Reds....shade numer 3 mixed with light Auburn in a two to 1 ratio. It is the color of Judy Garlands hair in the Wizard of Oz.I have level 6 dark blond/light brown hair naturally.Red is the most difficult color to keep from fading. So, in a way your lucky! It will probably fade pretty quick. If you have ANY more questions on red hair please let me know. :) My mother also dyes her hair red/auburn so between the two of us we have tried alot of shades.

In what condition is your hair? If it`s dry you risk damage with any chemical process. I foolishly colored my hair about 8 times over a 6-7 month period. It didn`t get like straw until the very last time I did it. Afterwards my hair immediately felt crisy. I would suggest looking at color-enhancing shampoos and conditioners and/or semi-perm colors. Just please be careful not to wreck your hair !

i dyed my hair last night with l`oreal feria [permanent.. i think that colour is auburn blonde].. i was attempting to go for a vibrant red, but instead, the colour`s turned out horrible. it looks like a faded redish-brown.. very ugly.

i was wondering if i can dye over it with another colour? or will that just create a bigger disaster?

thanks a lot for the help :)
