my hair needs help!?

Question

my hair is really a dark brown, but i recently dyed it aubrun with black underneath. now it is really a redish brown on top and i would really like to know the best way to color my hair red, and by red i mean the color of the crayon lol. i'm hopin i don't have to bleach it first been there and it turned orange, carrot orange, not a good look for me lol. any help would be great and somewhat on the cheap side - thanx :o)

my hair is also very long 21 inches and don't really want to cut it.

i also asked a salon and it would cost me over 100 $ to strip and re-dye my hair because its so long.

Answer 1

This is why we cosmetologist don't like 2 tones, lol! Honey, go get it professionally done. That's the only way you are going to get it to a natural looking color. They will have to probably bleach the black part, i hate to say, but it's the only way unless they put a 40 lift on it for like an hour or so, but it really damages the hair. I know from experience hun Good luck!

Answer 2

Well, you may have to bleach it to get it that red. Red hair color is very hard to get to stay in the hair. The molecules are very big and don't like to fit in the hair. So they usually just stick on the outside and stain the hair.Thats why you get the fading so fast.The reason you turn orange is cuz the hair isn't light enough. Some stylist or people at home see the orange and freak but it needs to stay longer and it will lighten past the orange. I hope this helps, cheap isn't always the best way to go. Good luck !!

Answer 3

I have found out that getting your hair dyed at a salon is best. I did the home jobs and they seemed to really wreck my hair. They can let you pick the color and do a good job for you.
