Red hair - want to change colour but dont know how, hairdressers opinions would be helpful please?

Basically i have been dying my hair red for a year using xxl live colour (hair was a mousey brown) but im fed up of it and want to go to a chocolate brown colour.


Ive tried not to dye my hair now for 3 months so it will hopefully fade abit but now my roots are coming through badly and i dont want to put another red dye over it but the roots are getting me down as they look awful.


How can i try and get my hair a nie brown colour - i really dont want it to go ginger or browny-red, please help. xRed hair - want to change colour but dont know how, hairdressers opinions would be helpful please?
You could use a very dark brown dye and that will cover the red and new growth, but you will probably have some red tint to your hair in certain lights and sunlight. To get rid of the red undertones all together you are going to need to get a color stripper and probably do it a few times to remove all the red color. Then you can use the dark brown color over that.Red hair - want to change colour but dont know how, hairdressers opinions would be helpful please?
hey ! well my friend had the same problem when she was dying her hair from red to brown. what she did was (like you did) waited for it to fade a bit and then she went ahead and used a dark brown colour straight on it. it turned out not as dark as she would have liked so she dyed it again. if you look on the pack of hair dye packaging it normally states what colour your hair will turn after you've dyed it, like in a diagram.


even better get it professionally dyed, they will know for certain what to do.


hope i helped and good luck, im sure it will look great!

im not a hairdresser or anything but i think you should get two dark brown hair dyes, if the first one goes abit rong it should work after the second one :) x
