need color advice

Hi Anne
I don't know what level brown-red hair you have but I will assume it to be in the medium to light brown area. If you had the color done in the salon the formula should have been an ash based tint in a very light level of color. If the colorist didn't get you light enough it is probably why you are showing red again. To try and go lighter at this point would probably involve using a lightener noot a haircolor because tint will not lift tint. This means that to keep going over the present color of hair with a tint will actually only make it darker. In the salon the colorist can strip some of the tint off, take the hair to the proper level of lightness then color what is left with the appropriate tone and level of tint. I know this is not what you want to hear especially because you want to do it at home but I am afraid you will run into some big problems if you don't let a professional do it. Good luck and let me know how everything turns out.
