Yea she wanted a light red you know like a cartoon red but she says its not light enough but i think its is and it suits her more than the crazy colour because it has more tone to it, so i thought if i post on here ill say look they all think its bright lol i told her do not touch the bleach again.. And i used a 7.66r but added pig to roots and halfed the pig for the length and thankyou im quite pleased :) x

Her normal result she has is a very pinky red wish i could post a picture of before because i really cant see much dffrence between now and before, just that now it has a slightly more red tone and its slightly warmer, its just habit i think and like i said when you first apply a crazy colour yes its shockingly bright but after 3 days or so it fades to about what she is now

With all brands having different tonal colours your not going to match crazy colour exactly, try a clear gloss tint, that should help sort it out and reduce fading because it seals the hair a bit.

A guy on holiday had a design shaved in his hair and he had to take his crazy colours with him so he could top it up daily, all 8 different colours. Poor wife hehe.
But you could always put crazy colour over the top rinse and then deal with clear xoxo

I know thats what i said to her but she was sick of the up keep she had to do ot every week and then bleach roots every 2 days and not only that haveing to bleach her ends every month or so as the build up on ends would look darker than her roots, i did not do this she did it her self so when she said she wants permenant i explained it would not be exactly the same but i would try get it as close as i could she does like it she was just thinking it was a plum dark red its far from that lol, then i when needs doing i was just thimking of doing the roots then just refresh the ends with a demi, ill see how she goes if she still wants to revert back to crazy colour then ill try what you suggested what brand do you use for clear coat x

I am by no means a hair dresser or any where close so forgive me I say something completely incorrect but I know when I was having bright red hair on my natural brown dark
Hair i used loreal majicontrast red. If you use it that once all over then again in 4 weeks once all over. You will only need to mix the majicontrast with a little water instead of 30vol and it will keep it bright red xxx
