Dying naturally red hair brown?

Question

I've heard naturally red hair is difficult to dye..if this is true...do you think naturally auburn red hair will 'take' brown hair dye? Why/whynot?

If you know the answer please share your info! If your just going to recommend going to a professional or not dying it at all then go lecture someone else, because I don't care what you have to say.

Answer 1

i had a friend once who did that. The color does tend to fade out more easily and quickly, so you'll probably want to redo it 2 weeks after it is first dyed. If your hair is really red, then i'm guessing your eyebrows are blonde. if that's the case, having brown hair will look a little odd.

Answer 2

oh hun.. PLEASE don't dye ur hair brown.. auburn/red hair is sooo fabulous and pretty and I'm green w/jealousy, lol!! I know you didn't wanna hear that but if you really wanna dye ur hair then there is this brand that is called, I think, foolproof or failproof, 100% color by garnier? Or try Feria brand.. they have very pretty colors and it always looks good. Make sure you don't choose an ash toned color, they always have a greenish tint and will do that to your hair...and remember that choose something a shade lighter than what you really want because it can come out too dark. Good luck!!

Answer 3

Offering someone to go to a professional is not a lecture, it's good advice. Most people screw up their hair because they don't see someone who actually knows what they're doing.

Answer 4

If your hair is red, why would you want to dye it? My grandmother had red hair, and some of my cousins have red hair. I was jealous. I love naturally red hair.

Answer 5

I don't care if you don't care what I have to say, I'm gonna say it anyway. Red/Auburn hair is beautiful, don't change it. You have a great gift.
