I would suggest going to your hairdresser and explaining that you don't like the red under tones that your hair has. Most hair dressers can apply a toner that will get rid of the red or the can suggest a shampoo that deposits color and will balance the color. I don't suggest doing it yourself mainly because if you don't know what your doing you can really screw your hair up. In the future tell your hairdresser that your hair pulls red. They will under stand and can adjust your color formula so this doesn't happen. When you have brown hair your natural undertone is red. If you were to lighten your hair you would get a brassy blond color. This is normal. The darker your hair is the more red you have. I hope this helps.

That just might be how the coloring reacted to your natural hair color. If you are light brown or blonde you will get reddist tones when you color it brown or dark brown. If you look on the box I think it should tell you to test a piece of hair to see how the color reacts to it. You can ask a hair color specialist at a salon and see what they could do and if they will give you a recommended time that you can do something else to your hair.

Probably not a good idea to re-color your hair right now, unless you put on a rinse (a semi-permanent not a permanent) which is more like a coating. Use colors that have 'ash' in them - they tend more towards the true browns rather than the reds!

My hair is naturally brown but it has reddish tones in it too. I'd try a darker brown, but coloring your hair probably isn't the best for it anway.

a toner with an ash will cancel out red a just deposists color
they only need to stay in the hair for a short amount of time
you can also try a color depositing shampoo such as Artec
i believe Redken also has some

you fail to mention what color your hair was before you colored it, and whether or not your colorist used permanant or semi-permanant color and if there was red in the color(warm tones) it is not unusual to have reddish tones in colored hair. if you provide a little more info i might be able to help you. let me know too if you like the tone of the color or if you want it lighter or darker...thanks

Dye you hair Ash brown - anything Ash has green in it (your hair won't turn green, don't worry) so it will take away the red. Anything that says "golden" on it has red in it and will make your hair brassy. I have this problem alot. I love the ash browns now...

Hey, that's such a coincidence because I have EXACTLY the same problem!! and i just dyed my hair today too...I think that thing about "ash" seems right as more than one person have suggested it. I'll try it next time...happy coloring! ;-)

no, your hair just naturally has some redish tones in it.

Not now. coloring damages your hair because of the chemicals in it. You should wait about a month before recoloring it or you'll be damaging your hair even more.
