Now my question is since it faded so fast(I'm a natural blonde) what should I use to acheive this again. I was thinking about doing Redken Color Gels and mixing 6NW with 6NG. If I do that what will the color come out to be, and what level of developer should I use?

I'm not famaliar with Redken but if you are a natural blonde and your are going 2 levels or more darker are you using a filler to put that underlying pigment into your hair? To fill for a Level 6 haircolor it is typically an orange underlying pigment at least for the Goldwell Color I use. I think you should check with Redken though because their level chart goes from 1-12 I think where Goldwell goes from 2-10. You might want to add a little ash to the haircolor to prevent brassiness. This is a permanent haircolor I take it? As for developer I'd recommend 20 Volume if you are going darker.
