What is the best bright red hair dye?

I know all reds fade super fast, but I've been cutting down the showering and that helps, but it still fades like a maniac. Something like this color.

Your major things to watch out for is ';sulfates'; in your shampoos they go under names like sodium laurel sulfate or ';sulfa'; its an ingredient used in shampoos and other products to make it foam and bubble, shampoo lacking foam doesn't mean its not cleaning! Sulfates even hide in most ';color safe'; labeled shampoos!





Also a henna kit may be the way to go but there not the easiest to prepare, for starters the dye after you have mixed it with hot water should sit 3 hours in a warm place preferably covered with plastic wrap and kept in sunlight if possible you will probably want the RED kit not BRIGHT RED for most brands (I used light mountain in the past), I bought the bright red kit online thinking it would look the way I wanted it but the box indicated I actually wanted the RED kit. Also henna for best results you may want to leave in your hair 1-3 hours with a plastic shower cap on top.





If you want normal (chemical) dye semi permanent color might be a good idea, and may not need bleaching if you have light enough brown hair (you will probably get a deep dark cherry color try a strand test) or I really like HERBAL ESSENCES box hair color (no bleaching) but I can only find that brand at Walmart for some reason. That brand has some really amazing colors for those who like something different like the reds, I think number 44 is a real bright red look arround the shades and choose one you like. My favorite color I keep going back to is Bronzed Rubies its like this reddish, burgundy, brown, kind of plum color really different and fun and it looks different from person to person, and depends on what your shade is when you start.What is the best bright red hair dye?
More than likely its not the haircolor itself. reds, not matter what brand are going to fade fast.my advice as far as what to get is, don't buy box color from walmart or any big chain stores. Your best bet is to find a beauty supply store such as sallys or beauty alliance and get the professional color to apply yourself. Its not as cheap as box color but should only cost around 10-20 dollars depending on how much hair u have and how much color u have to get.





There are a lot of ways to keep your red longer though.





Washing with lukewarm water and rinsing with cold water locks the color in, where warm or hot water relaxes the hair and causes it to let go of some of the color. Also, don't towel dry, any friction or heat will make your color fade. Make sure you use a heat protection spray when using a flat iron.also, biolage shampoos and conditioners are good for keeping color.





Red is a lot of work. I've had it for going on 8 years and its a deal to keep up with but I wouldn't trade it for anything. Lol
manic panic.. is really good.. bleach first.. but the red is awesome, and they do have blacklight coolors too..
