from dark to red

on monday i tried dying my hair from dark brown to red, i used the LIVE red colour and it only took to the roots and didnt even touch the other parts

the thing is though even though i hated it at first im really starting to like it now but its rubbing off on my clothes

if i got another red and put it over the top what would it do to the red roots, would it make them brighter?

also would using two different makes of dye make them conflict with each other and not work? like say i dyed my hair with herbal essence at xmas and then used the LIVE colour, could that be a reason why it didnt take in some parts? because ive never had the prob of going from brown to red before and my natural hair is dark brown anyway

dont suggest going to the hair dressers as i dont have the money for it and im in the UK so uk suggestions only please

I had to use colorfix myself.I kept coloring & coloring to the point where my ends turned way too dark.I will warn u about colorfix.Whatever u do,get a lighter red than what u want.Because your hair will turn back dark if u don't be careful.Get a shade 1-2 shades lighter to get the red u want.I say this because it happpen to me & I read on the Colorfix box about it.I had to use Colorfix twice to get my hair light enough.U have to get Colorfix at a Beauty Supply place.Good luck! :)
