My natural hair color is medium-to-light brown with reddish hues, and for the past five years or so, I've been coloring it red--kind of a light auburn color, which had gotten kind of organge-y.

 

I decided I wanted a darker hue for fall and used a dark auburn shade. It definitely made my hair darker--a little too dark for me--but it also took all the red out of it! If I stand in direct sunlight, you can see a slight reddish hue, but otherwise it just looks plain brown.

 

I'm wondering how I can fix my hair to get the red back. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!

Use like a dandruff shampoo or a dishwashing liquid (any kind will work)

In about a week it will be lighter and you'll see more red.

I had the same problem as you actually very recently.Now my hair only looks red in the sun.

Or,you could add a few highlights to it.That way it is still dark but with some red lights and tone to it.

 

 

 

editted to add that if you do strip it a little,make sure to condition good as it really dries out the hair.
