Hair Color help... why cant i get rid of the red tinge?

Question

About 4 months ago I had platinum foils put throughout my long brown hair, I didn’t want them anymore so ive been putting brown rinses through it ever since and using a shampoo that adds brown pigmentation. Only last week I dyed my hair with a Golden Brown Tone on Tone color to try and get rid of the Red tinge the foils still carry, but it washed out and now im still left with that stupid tinge. What can I do to fill in the color so it stops reappearing?

Answer 1

You need to use a hair color that has an ash tone. Anything that says golden will bring out red and oranges. I have naturally dark brown hair that has some red in it. I have used an ash blonde coloring for the last 10 years on my hair and have been able to avoid the red/brassiness.

Answer 2

I have done the same thing before. Come to find out I have red tones in my hair. I just hadn't used a color before that brought them out. Stay away from ash colors, they will just make it orange. I was just sick of it and dyed my hair completely black. It fades really fast into a beautiful rich brown color... I used Revlon, can't remember the name of the black, but I used the 10 min color... Revlon isn't as harsh on your hair as other colors. I would try it if you want. I still have the red tones, but now I know that colors bring them out. Good luck!

Answer 3

Anything that says "golden" has a red base. Go with an ash brown.

Answer 4

Get yourself some Magic Silver White from the chemist. You mix it with water and rinse through your hair, red gone.
