How do ii make my hair a nice bright red???

im african-american, so my hair is a really dark brown, almost black. ii want to put an orang-ish/burrgundy color around the perimeter of my hair so when i wear it hanging straight down, the red is on the inside and my real color is on the out.....but ii just cant seem to find a color that urns my hair that color!!! ii mean, ii found the colors ii wanna mix up, but my aunt [a hair dresser]] said no matter what colors ii use, it'll always turn a deep burgundy. im trying rinses right now befor ii color it, but all of them are lookin the same color as my hair!

which brand do you think ii should use, or where do you suppose ii should look?

The only way i think u can do it is if u buy hair peroxide (hair bleach) my friend is African American and she had the same problem too she wanted the bottom of her hair real red and the top her natural (Pure Black) so the only way we did it ways to separate the hair we wanted to dye and bleach it blond with peroxide once it turned blond real fast we rinsed it, waited for it to dry naturally and then apply the red that we bought from the super markets followed by the conditioner supplied.

Peroxide (hair bleach) - you can buy it from the drug store, hair and beauty shops (like what we did at priceline but we're in Australia) . Just ask around it's not that hard to find.

NOTE* Peroxide has best results in lighting the darkest hair to blond and by that whatever color u apply on top will have the results of that color because anything goes on Blond or a real light brown that the Peroxide achieves.

BE AWARE* that Peroxide does damage Ur hair because it's chemicals are harsh so use hair treatment to nourish just ask the ur Aunt for the best treatment or use any that moisturizes hair since it drys it out a little and it should be fine.

GOOD LUCK! (sorry for the long story lol)

Even though your aunt is a professional hair dresser you should probably have it done professionally at another salon. A few people mention bleaching it first and thats probably what you'll have to do then add color on top of that. Home hair color can be tricky for anyone no matter what their hair color or texture is.

Rinses are like colored saran wrap or colored glasses, they can't make your hair lighter or darker, just tint it another color. So, if your hair is starting out dark, the hair's going to stay dark. For the orangish/burgundy color you're interested in, you'd have to actually lift the color going the permanent hair dye route. No temporary dye or semi-permanent dye will be able to help you out with that by itself.

Here's what to do. Go to a beauty supply store and pick up a booster its in a little pack it should be about a dollar. Then get a lightner then get the color you want. First mix the booster pack in the lightner bottle shake up then apply to hair, make sure your lightner be number 20 or 40 but 40 is too much depending on how light you want your hair, but anyway apply them first then rinse your hair out then apply your color wait about 20 minutes you should receive results but when you apply the booster and lightner please hurry and put it in your hair after you see the blond then rinse out then color. tell how you did.
