I dye my hair by the box. My hair is a natural Dirty Blond. However, whenever I dye my hair..after about two weeks the color starts fading to a reddish color. ALWAYS. No matter which color I try to dye it. Its happened with Blond, Brown, Black, any color, you name it, it'll turn red after a little while. What can I do to make it not turn red?
Try, getting a dye but not to dark it might help . Also, try getting a shampoo for color treated hair.
That , really helps. Get , a good brand . My mother
has highlights in her hair she uses Loreal vive , and Garneia Frutise (sorry for my spelling). That's
what I recommend. Any shampoo that's for color treated hair would be great. Good luck!

You also want to use shampoos that are strictly for your hair color, or ones that deposit a little bit of color in it as you shampoo. Like John Frieda's brilliant brunette, or any other ones like that.
I wouldn't use shampoos that are general and say "For colored hair", because they don't always bring out the color you want. I used to have highlights, but when I died my hair dark brown/black and used a shampoo that said "for colored hair" instead of "for brown hair", my highlights began to come through again, which wasn't what I intended.

"Pantene’s Color Revival: An excellent line of products at relatively low prices, this line includes mousse and a wonderfully fragranced leave-in conditioner.
Paul Mitchell Super Strong: Contains sunblock to prevent UV damage.
Aveda Color Conserve: Also contains UV blockers. 100% organic.
L’Oreal VIVE Color-Care: Helps hair retain more color. The Color-Care Masque is especially good - It only takes a minute and it makes hair smooth and shiny. "
I took those from the following site, have a click and see what else they have to say! :)
