My natural hair color is brown, but after some "experiences" I had to dye it brown back again. I thought I had gotten the right shade, but now my hair looks a bit red in the sun! I hate it! But I heard that every kind of brown hair dye has a reddish background, so all of them look kinda red in the sun. Is that true?

Try Natural Match. It has three shades of the same color, a warm with reddish tones, a neutral, and a cool with ash tones. Try the cooler shade and it should take away the brassiness. Be sure you're not trying to go a lot lighter than your normal color too because that may have brought on the red brassiness.

Well shades labeled as "ash" such as Ash Medium Brunette are "cooler" colors and do not have red undertones. The problem is that the color will eventually turn reddish as the dye fades due to the damage caused by the hydrogen peroxide. You could use a "rinsable" color or try a semi-permanent color and see if it gives you less red undertones. But make sure to only buy colors that state "ash" you don't want anything that says "warm" etc.

I'm going through the same thing now. My sister did highlights for me, but they didn't take and now I've got a lovely orange stripe on my part. :( Look for brown hair dyes that don't say copper, golden, chocolate, auburn, etc. You need an ash colour, but when I did mine it still had a red tone in the sun and looked black everywhere else. It might need to be done a few times, but not straight after each other. I don't know what brands you would use but Loreal is pretty good. Good luck :)

box dyes tend to do that, especially if you're going at all lighter. If you insist on doing it yourself look for something that says "ash" for the least red. Honestly though you don't have to sit under a dryer to get your hair colored at a salon and it should only take 45-60 minutes to get it done.

Let a pro choose the right color for your hair, based on what you tell her. I think the Foiling Technique would look pretty & natural as well. Since our hair is not just one color, a bit of an auburn color would be a nice warm tone to go with. Discuss this with a hair stylist!!!!

No it's not true.
There are plenty of professional hair color shades that are anywhere from neutral to ashen.
If you're coloring it yourself Good luck there,as the results with drug store bought color can be inconsistent. especially if you've had "some experiences" already.
I never get involved with those (drug store color), unless I'm fixing them.
Hope that helps

get a brown color with ash undertones, for instance, if the box says Ash Brown, not if it says Golden Brown

ash brown doesn't. Learn about hair colour and the different tones.
