I just recently dyed my hair with feria by loreal's chocolate cherry.
It has turned out a very dark red, much much more red than I had
anticipated. I want to go dark brown, my natural hair color, so i can
just let it grow out. I understand it may be impossible to completely
cover this vibrant red, but does anyone have any suggestions on a
brand/color of hair dye I to use that will give me the best
shot/results for getting brown hair?
Thank you so much, all help is appreciated.

thank you so much for suggesting that, i found a site that had it and ordered a tube. This gives me about a week to let the red fade out some before I dye it again.
Thanks again!
