| I recently did something similar to my hair. The colorist first used a brown filler to coat the blonde hair and then used a red/brown dye over it (it ended up auburn). If you're going for a lighter red you might start with a light brown filler before using the red dye. You might try leaving the dye in for a longer time and combing it through. Something that is 100 percent red might not be easy to achieve without pinkiness at home. So for that you might need a colorist. |

| yes, that will definitely work (assuming you want brown hair). I would recommend using something that's a bit sheer so that the colors blend nicely. If your hair was blonde before it's going to be very porous from the bleaching. So something demiperm like Clairol Radiance Colorgloss or Natural Instincts brushed through the hair and left on for a while will probably have a nice output. i would go a shade lighter than the shade you are looking for. |

| oh my! If you want to be brown and to put an end to so many colors you might want to go with a permanent color (like Preference or something with high deposit) in a fairly dark color. Even permanent dark colors eventually fade, but that will really cover the many colors you've got going on right now. If you use a color that's too light or too sheer you will only dilute your current look (or potentially make it worse). If you dye it dark (and leave the dye in your hair awhile) it will be a more consistent color. Before you dye you might also want to use a clarifying shampoo or a professional hair color remover product. This will strip some of the color and may help somewhat to fade the many shades. Better off going dark so that you can cover the rainbow. Hope this helps! |
