Beware! Your hair could turn green! Correct- you need sufficient red in the equation to balance the colour, and it is definitely a salon job. Firstly they would in-fill your hair with red colour pigment for the new colour to use as an anchor and after this has taken, the new brown colour would be applied over the top. It is a real specialist art and I seriously don't recommend that you do it at home.

Reply:yes I have just done it with mine,I used a lo real mahogany copper it came out a nice colour so kept it like that for a week then I put a herbal essences medium brown on left it for 45 Min's,but it's a bit dark so 25 should do it,do a strand test first.
Reply:Not necessarily a red pigment, but something redder that you want the final color to look.
Reply:No No, this will send it pink and it will not grab anyway cause the hair will be swollen. Go to a salon as soon as and don't buy home hair colour, if you do this will send it either too red or green.
Reply:That is what I heard. Apparently if you don't, you'll stand the risk of your hair going green. I've seen women with green hair but I am never sure whether that was their intention or their colouring gone wrong for lack of red.
