Whats a good "hot red" hair dye? and method?

I bleached a portion of my hair and I want that portion to be hot red. I want it to be permanent if possible. I did a semipermanent red but it looks orange/no good. What is a good brand, and what is the correct method? Thanks!

You first strip all the color out of the part you want colored...like you did with the bleach, then add the color.. try manic panic. They have every color of the rainbow. Its good quality too. I streaked my hair blue before. You can buy it at sallys beauty supply.

Hair has a great many natural chemicals - metals embedded in it to make it different colors. When hair is bleached it goes from black to brown to red to yellow to white. You are missing the filler color range such that what you need is a filler. When I put my hair back to brown I added a red and a brown together. Possibly a second application of red with a filler added to it will help. But my understanding is to purchase hair products that are professional products you have to have a license for it because often they are stronger than nonprofessional products and require experience to use along with the associated education. Be careful what products you use as often the nonprofessional products may have metals in them which will react with other colors. Semipermanent often do not sediment into the hair as well as permanent color but using a permanent color will affect the nonbleaced portions. There are a varying group of covering colors that were made for semipermanent punk looks. If you wanted a red color it would have been better to not bleach your hair out to very white or a very blonde color. You will possibly need to mix a golden yellow with the red to achieve the red that you want but I am not really sure what the mixture would be or what colors. Be sure to use something that is not damaging to the hair. I do know that Clairol colors tend to be safe for the hair along with a few others over the counter but use caution with semipermanent and nonprofessional colors because often they are metallic dyes and can react later with other products.

I know that Henna can give a bright fire engine red color even over brown hair colors but that before using anything else as they are a coating dye that tends to stay on well one will have to use a stripper prior to using any other chemical products. My sister when I was a young girl bought me some red henna that turned out to be fire engine red whereas I thought it would just turn my hair red when it tended to be brown such that I spent a long time trying to get it out by shampooing it and conditioning it out. Eventually I cut it out as I could not use anything else over it. Possibly it was mixed with a metallic dye I did not look at what wa in the product. Henna can give the hair a very beautiful glistening color and look if the right product is purchased and in many different colors. But the one I used was not one of them. Next time select a strand of hair under your hair and work with it to see what color combination works or even get a semipermanent color in yellow to put on it to see if it brings it to a red color that you like. Usually to achieve a bright red streaking I have used a bright red color on my brown hair after pulling it through a frosting cap as I know about the levels that hair goes through such that I have never dealt with this problem but I did as a young girl not understand the color levels such that I did turn bleached blonde hair a very pretty violet with a temporary color once which we went out partying with even though my objective originally was red. As it was the disco era it worked well at a discotech that weekend with violet makeup and clothing to match. I would never do that today at my age.
