Thanks Kamikat! It sounds like this is something I should get with my stylist about, rather than try to do it alone.

I agree with the other gals, if u want it go for it!
amygeorgina said:YES!! This is the problem I've had, all orange at the roots, not good!! Am going to try a La Riche Directions in Pillarbox Red, it's a semi permanent but was hoping it might give it a redder tone, we'll see, will report back this evening.
If that fails, am going to try the Live XXL in Red Passion and hope it's not the one that has just turned me orange, I must start remembering them or keeping the box lids as they recommend!!

I like natural looking red colour.
Here's my haircolour nowadays!

bit of a novice here! maybe i'll just use a semi permanent, it would be less messy (or so i'm led to believe!)

For a quick update on my hair dye disaster - I'm pleased to report the La Riche Directions in Pillarbox Red worked a treat in toning it back to red from the weird orange (and I mean, orange!!) rendered by the Live XXL.
Although, it did stop my sister talking to me and posting catty remarks on Twitter about, "There goes her individuality" but her immaturity is for another time....!
WAIT!!! I use Redken on my clients and I know from experience that the red fades within the first week. It's been so long since I took their certification course, but I seem to remember something about their reds being double pigmented so they penetrate the hair shaft more. 6R is what I typically use on my own hair. Give it a week, wash it every day and you should see some lightening up.vintage_jayhawk said:Ladies, I need some help. I bit the bullet and went to my stylist and had my hair dyed red. Well, at least that was the plan. Now I have this terrible burgundy red color, that is no where near what i was looking for (Christina Hendricks, see above). My stylist did foils with this terrible red and a lighter red. They are both much darker than my natural color, and it's just awful on me. So, the question is, I'm trying to get back in to have her fix it. Any recommendations of what I need to say to get from burgundy red to natural-ish red? She used Redken colors 5RO and 6R with 6CB.

I'm a henna user. The semi-permanent would definitely be less messy. I usually tell people henna is not for you if you think you will ever tire of your red hair and want to make it lighter.
