Red Hair Color Help

I am trying to achieve a very bright, almost punky copper red mahogany color. Its like a copper red with a hint of purple and very bright. I used Feria Rich Auburn Red, and it washed out in a week. Now I have a light auburn dull color. I bought professional hair color level 6 intense auburn with a 20 developer. But my test strand looks very light and dull still. How can I get it dark deep red?

Gosh lady. Red hair color is infamous for washing out quickly. That's why it's so important NOT to wash your hair a lot in the first few weeks. Shampoos that contain sulfites are harsh on your hair and will remove color.

Try the color but use a 10 volume peroxide instead. To make your own 10 volume peroxide, simply mix your 20 volume with water 1:1. Then try the color again. You might also try a 5 volume peroxide. Use the same method to do it yourself, starting with the 10 volume.

By the way, great picture! Love the red hair!
