hey everyone, stumbled across this site - wondering if anyone has any
tips as far as what works to get a nice deep maroon color. I did
a mix of manic panics (vampire red and infrared) and it's much brighter
than what I was looking for. natural hair is strawberry
blonde. any suggestions / experience would be appreciated! thanks! |

Get some manic panic brown color. Mix about 1/4 brown with your reds next time. That should be darker.
Manic panic fades fast. You're going to have to refresh it every week or two anyway, so it's easy to play with. Mistakes are very temporary. -------------

I don't think it'd be a good idea to mix 2 red shades since your hair is already very red. I think that you should either chose a warm dark or medium brown dye, or mix one shade of red with a neutral brown to make it more natural and deeper color. |

| thanks - I should have noted, I'm not looking for "natural" - just darker. also, manic panic doesn't make any browns that I know of - fyi. |
