Answer 1

The first step is to dye your hair platinum blonde, then add your color for maximum saturation and great results. Here's a link to a site with good tips on dyeing your hair unconventional colors, along with their suggestions for the very best products for success:

The only change that I recommend is that you visit a beauty supply store to get your platinum blonde dye. I'm not a professional, but I've colored other people's hair and once dyed a teen's hair white on top. His hair was naturally dark brown and regular hair dyes just didn't do it. I went to my local Salee's beauty supply and picked up a professional blonde dye, which was actually a thick paste that I applied to his hair with a brush. It worked a charm and didn't burn up his hair. I just followed the directions on the product and double-checked with the clerks, who I found fairly knowledgeable about the products.

Good luck!

You need to go to a hairdresser. Red hair color can be very tricky. I was a red head for 20 years and I know that what you see on the box of hair color products is not what you would get. The hair red color somehow shows the natural shade and that could be problematic.

Answer 3

omgsh keep you red hair (there just isn't enough of us!) but you are probably using the wrong color dye (like the color of the stuff you put on your hair, not the color it is supposed to be) go to a salon (or a beauty school if you want a good price) and get it done professionally (don't dye you hair too much though, you'll fry it!)

Answer 4

Apparently you are just one of those people that red dye, just does a number on. Go to a professional hair stylist. They will be able to get your hair red.

Answer 5

I had the best blue and the best red hair in college. the key is to make your hair white first with bleach, use professional stuff you can buy, then use the permenant blue die and blow dry it in, then wash it. It will look awesome!

Answer 6

I would see a professional. You would need to bleach your hair first to actually get blue hair.

Answer 7

It may have something to do with whether the dye you're using has metalic dyes in it. Check it out.

Answer 8

See a professional. The results will be worth every penny!
