I don't really want to dye my hair, i have bright red hair and I don't really want to keep it forever. I was just wondering if theres any easy way to make my red hair fade so it looks like light brown. Ive noticed that many adults who had red hair as children now have brown is there anyway to speed up this process?Cool

I'm confused about whether you dyed it bright red, or if its naturally bright red. 

Dyed red fades naturally with washes.  If its natural, you will probably have to dye it.  Whether its dyed or not, it cannot fade to light brown either way though because bright red is already lighter than light brown, so removing more pigment from it would head it for strawberry blonde, then light blonde.  You'd need to add pigment to it (dye it) to get it brown.

The adult hair tends to get darker with age, that is not so much fading, as the haircolor just coming out of the head darker (the way natural blondes tend to get darker as they age).
