I'm searching for a fanstastic red hair colour with long lasting. That's my hair at the moment:


It looks washed out and is more brownish than red. I want a hair colour wich is more red purple or purer red. Maybe a colour which looks similar to the one Dayna Delux is wearing.
So I ask all the redheads here at PL: What is your secret of a beatiful red hair colour?
I would be very grateful about some responses.
Thanks

My lovely dear friend Susan wears red and she uses the Ferria by L'Oreal professional. There are all different shades I guess you have to go to the beauty supply store and look. Ferria is also made as a box color that you can buy at any drug store, I'm super blonde and that is what I use. Ferria has a high impact sheen/luster to it that is very nice. Using a sulfate free shampoo is the best bet to not fade the color.
i used to use FERRiA RR63... but box die is BAD for your hair!!!

i'm a hairstylist now, and i use GOLDWELL... i use GOLDWELL 6-7RR.. and ELUMEIN STAIN

*****DO NOT CHEEP OUT OF THE SHAMPOO TYPE... BE SURE to take CARE of your color, by useing a LOW sulfute shampoo, and the best shampoo is generally a RED shampoo-made by the same hair color line... but it is EVEN BETTER not to wash your hair! i wash my RED MAIN 1-MAYBE 2-times a week... if that!
if you have greasy hair, THAT PHASE WILL PASS go through the grease3-4 days, and it will be dry! washing your red hair - washes the color - regardless of what i use (and ive been red for 9 YEARS!!!!)
I agree- Goldwell looks amazing after months of washes. It was our schools color and I used it on my mom, who washes every day and her red always looked vibrant when she's come in for a re-touch.

I use Paul Mitchell on her now, the Cool Copper which has a purpler look to it. It lasts quite nicely too, but Paul Mitchell colors seem to be darker then you'd guess from the level. The level 6 I use on her looks closer to a 5 at first.

I've been thinking about going red next month too! I haven't been in years and years
When you wash your hair, just use conditioner. Shampoo strips the color, I only use shampoo about once a week.
I have a good friend who has had red hair for years. The secret to her red lasting and being vibrant is she bleaches the hair before applying the dye. Since she has been a red head so long, she only does the roots each time, but when she started, she bleached the whole thing before using the color. This may not be good for your hair, but it makes her color last.
What I do, to try to keep hair damage to a minimum, is rotate lightening and dying it darker. One month I'll lighten it then dye it red, the next month I'll skip the lightening. It turns out a little darker for that month, but it's less damage. And it changes it up a bit so you're not the same exact shade all the time. Sometimes I dye it a darker red, for a change, plus darker colors put nutrients back into your hair. Just condition well and don't shampoo that often. And keep excessive heat styling down, it's worked for me! And I always get compliments on my bright fun hair!! Here's how it looks at the moment.... it has some blonde and orange highlights in it, sorry for the crappy pic, it's the best one I have of this particular dye job!

XOXOXO

My friend that is a model who lightens before doing the red, had to do it every time because when she would be booked for shoots, the photographers wouldn't be happy if she didn't have the vibrant red hair. She could lose work if her look wasn't what they intended when they booked her.

Overall her hair isn't in bad condition from doing it. He would use a 10 developer and wouldn't strip it white...just strip the roots until they were brassy. The brassy underneath may have helped make the red the color she was known for. She used just a manic panic hair color.
