I want to dye my hair my natural color (and leave it!) but all the hair dyes I have used in the past have gone brassy - and I hate brassy!
HELP!!!

Go to a beauty supply, on the colors there they have the base colors written down on the bottles. I think your hair keeps coming out brassy because everyone has red tones in their hair,some times that happens even when you don't use a color that has red in the base. I really think you should go to a professional and have it dyed back though. Good luck. P.s. "ash" is not the opposite of red,green is. purple is the opposite of orange.Blue is the opposite of yellow. You need to understand the color wheel to understand hair color better.

If your using home hair color they will always go brassy. They don't carry the power of professional color. Home hair color has red and green base where professional color starts with a blue base to even things out from the start! Find a stylist that uses dixon color- by far the best for natural looking tones!

Most L'Oreal hair products will tell you on the bottle what kind of base it has. You want to pick one that has a neutral base vs. red, gold, or blue. I have natural red tones in my hair. Even when I use ash blonde shades it will still come out orange. The last one I tried had a neutral base and it came out perfect! L'Oreal is really good at providing a beleivable blonde color too!

When in doubt, go pro. I agree (and know for a fact from my schooling) that "ash" is opposite of red-but if you're not careful, you could end up with something you hate.
Try looking for a local cosmetology school, and you can have your hair done for a lot less money, and it's supervised, so there won't be any mistakes.

Colors that are labelled as "Ash" are designed to suppress red tones.
