ready for red

I`ve got a question which is probably for professional hairstylists. Ive got dark blonde/ginger hair but I don`t like the colour.

I`d love to have a red colour thats not orangey or like a natural red head. More like, well, proper red, but not RED, if you get what I mean! (I`ll try to get some photos).

I`ve tried doing this with burgandy red wash in wash out tints, but they just turn my hair orange. If I find the right colour and get it in permanent, will it still turn my hair orange, or will permanent colours be different?

Thanx. :)

You need to GO to a professional hair stylist, and most likely have a filler applied before your haircolor. This will give your hair more depth, plus help keep the red from sliding off so soon. You will find that reds fade quickly, especially on blondes. This is just a fact of life..use salon products that are recommended for your hair, and you will be more satisfied. :)
