Answer 1

The only way to get the red back is to redo them. Once your hair is red again try to take more care of it. Red fades the fastest of any color, it's very delicate. Here's a few tips to keeping your red longer: wash it in luke warm to cool water(cold if you can stand it), use only shampoos & conditioners formulated for red hair(I like Pantene's red expressions), try to wash your hair every other day or every two days instead of every day, try not to blow dry or flat iron too often, & keep your hair out of the sun

Answer 2

I have black-brown hair and when I had red highlights I used a color-boosting oil treatment and they looked like new, I think V05 was the brand. And if you're really at a loss, I've heard a lot of people online say you can mix red cool-aid with a bit of conditioner and leave it in your hair and it will dye it, so I imagine it would work to retouch hair. I've never tried it myself though so don't take my word for it!

Answer 3
