My daughter who has a honey wheat color hair with some red highlights naturally, loves "Reba red" hair. She dyes it about every 2-3 months and since her roots are not dark, she can get away with going that long. Plus, after about a month the brillancy of the red fades. Her hair used to be almost waist length..she cut it about 5 months ago to very top of shoulder length- Actually bottom of neck length. Her hair is very thick and grows fast. She really misses her long hair and wants to grow it back long again. I am trying to dissuade her from doing the dying.. I told her about Aveda's color shampoo and conditioner. My main question is will Aveda's color system for red gradually make her hair red enough to satisfy her? Reba red is quite red! From talking with Noreen about the Aveda color line, she mentioned that the more you use it the more it colors your hair. But will it gradually bring it to a brililant red? Or at least a red that is very warm in color? Also, I have told my daughter that I think the Aveda color line would be much more healthier for her hair than dying it... I have not used the color line before. I was thinking about it but I really just want to leave my hair alone and just let it go natural. It's been through too much the past few years, so I am staying away from chemicals. Melissa wants her hair red so I am trying to find a healthier way for her to achieve this. any feedback? Cher

Cher--Hi again. The Aveda shampoos/conditioners are nice, but they only provide a color boost. They don't leave an opaque deposit of color.Even when my permanent red color began fading the first few times, Aveda wasn't enough to save it from paling to a strawberry blonde. Red is also the hardest color to maintain.So I'm guessing--unfortunately--that your daughter won't be able to get a true red just from the Aveda line.Ally

Hi Cher,What I have found on my hair is that the lighter sections of my hair picked up more of the red then the darker. Of course this is with the Madder Root, and I only use the conditioner and not the shampoo. I am not sure what the other red (Bixa?) would do. The effect I get is that it looks like I had my hair streaked with red. For me it is a big difference, but for someone who wants a uniform color and a deep red, I am not sure this would be the answer. Of course, I have found the color conditioners to be gentle on my hair, so it probably wouldn't hurt her hair to try it a few times to see if she likes it. It does wash out (for me it takes about 3 shampoos to remove the red completely). Sorry, I know this isn't much help. Let me know what she decides to do....Noreen
