Hair Dye keeps changing colour!

[fluffydreams]

To all hairdressers out there, I don't know what to do with my hair!

It is naturally light brown with natural red highlights and very curly.
I have it dyed medium brown at a salon every 8 weeks, and after 6-7 weeks, the top layers are nearly all red, but my length is still medium brown!

I know I have a natural red tint in there, but is there any way to stop this happening as it is so annoying?

Also, I wanted some blonde highlights to be put in but when a test strand is done, this turns red too.

Any help on what to do and to why this is happening? Thanks xx

It sounds like your colour is fading on the top and allowing your natural tones to show. There are a number of solutions to this problem, so it is worth talking to your stylist about it.
Use pureology shampoo and cond etc to stop it fading so quick.
Have a tint with a lower vol peroxide to prevent lift
Use an ash brown semi every 4 weeks to kill the red (green ash) rather than continual tint which makes the problem worse.
