    Posted: June 11 2008 at 4:53pm
I just recently dyed my hair with feria by loreal's chocolate cherry. It has turned out a very dark red, much much more red than I had anticipated. I want to go dark brown, my natural hair color, so i can just let it grow out. I understand it may be impossible to completely cover this vibrant red, but does anyone have any suggestions on a brand/color of hair dye I to use that will give me the best shot/results for getting brown hair?

Thank you so much, all help is appreciated.

thank you so much for suggesting that, i found a site that had it and ordered a tube. This gives me about a week to let the red fade out some before I dye it again.

Thanks again!
