What’s The Best Red Hair Dye For Light Brunettes?

I’m thinking of dyeing my medium brown hair a natural-looking red for the summer…what’s the best long-lasting drugstore brand out there? Should I risk henna, or is a chemical brand safer for mistakes?

    I think you should wait till after summer to go red since reds tend to fade with the sun & summer elements as chlorine etc.
    My best suggestion is to stay in the same level of color, so like a med copper brown would look good.
    I’m not a fan of home hair color so I can’t recommend brands. What I will recommend is going to a professional to have it done right. You will soon have roots, & if you keep applying tint over tint, you’ll end up with uneven color & damaged hair. If you can’t do that then maybe you should get a (color) weaving like highlights, & you can use a red as well. The roots won’t show up quickly, but I even more so say go to a pro. with that.
    I havent used henna for a long time. I know they have newer better ones, but you’ll still have a regrowth, but henna is better for the hair. Also, if you really need to do it at home, try a semi permanent tint (absolutly no peroxide meaning no 2 products to mix together). It gradually fades as it grows out, & it’s better to see if you even like it. That you would want to get at a beauty supply, Sally being the most common. It’s about the only way I feel comfortable with people doing it at home.
