Looking for the perfect red hair dye

[Danni Marie]

So after several months of being really really blonde, I got bored and decided I wanted to go red. It turned out a lovely color but I want more POP if that makes sense. Right now I feel like the shade is a tad too natural looking and I really want something fun and eye catching. Any ideas on where to find a fabulous red and I am open to doing something really wild. Suggestions?

Here is a pic of the current shade

Manic panic?? that will give it a wild streak!

Manic Panic is a great dye...or Punky Colours, but if you want something that's a little more permanent....try L'Oreal Excellence. I mix two colours (Magenta and Red) to achieve the vibrant red that I have. You can get the dye at pretty much any beauty supply (I get mine at Sally's). You do have to mix it with a developer (I usually use Ion 20...it comes in a 4oz purple bottle at Sally's).

Red is so much fun! I love mine. :) (The darker parts in my hair were from when I coloured it black...I didn't feel like bleaching it, but the red on top is the true colour that comes out when you mix the Magenta and Red)

I am going to suggest Swartzkopft 6-88 + 6-68. It makes a BEAUTIFUL red. However, you will need a salon that sells Swartzkoft. I think that if you are looking for a great red that one is you will be happy with this combo. :)

i agree with manic panic.or go old school with koolaid(you'll smell great & it lasts longer than real hair dye)

Feria Power Reds is my back up for when I can't afford the salon... and sometimes I get even more compliments when I do it with that color than when I pay someone.

I think you should stick with the Copper shade. I LOVE it on you! not only that, the color is ultra unique, and not too many people can pull it off, and you sure can!

Ion 7RR would be great

or Loreal Feria All out Red Copper Red

 

both you can find at Sally Beauty.

Something like Christina Hendricks' color would be AMAZING on you.

 

whatever you do, don't use henna. it's a B**** to get out of your hair if you ever want to change it.

You all are so amazing, thank you for the great ideas. I knew I could count on the best ideas coming from here. Now to decide, I will share when I do!

manic panic bleeds... left pink stains everywhere when I used it for red

I use Pravana Chromasilk. 1oz "red" and 1oz "orange". That's the only dye that works on my hair. All other dyes wash out within pretty much the first wash. This one stays extra vibrant until the 4 wash and even after that it's still pretty vibrant. I LOVE IT!

I would go to a salon. They will be able to show you samples of what the finished product will look like.

I highly recommend Loreal Feria P76 Pure Spice Power!

as you can see, EVERYONE has a "perfect" red hair color for themselves. I can't wait to see your hair when you are done! <3
