Dyeing (again): this redhead's fading fast!

I need to find a different sort of dye for my red hair, which would now harbour a hell of a lot of grey (not to speak of general fading) if I let it go au naturel. I've been using the Daniel Field stuff which is nice but washes out just too quickly. I've looked at various current and archived threads but any suggestions would be fulsomely welcomed - I do want a semi-permanent mainly because I get a bit worried about the potentially carcinogenic ingredients in permanent dyes, also because I'd prefer a fadeout rather than roots. Can't face clearing the time/money for regular salon treatments - ditto henna, if you were going to suggest that, spent too many years with hot cowpat slowly marinading away on my head.

Any suggestions? I cannot face letting nature take its course, even though at my advanced age I obviously should give in gracefully...and anyway, red hair gives me that vital margin for hot-tempered grumpiness that believe me, I need.

Oh yes I just got it, thanks, have replied.

I do remember henna being vile when I used it as a teenager.

You do NOT look like Keith Chegwin!!!!!

OK a real mixture of products here. AT the moment I quite like the new Loreal one that you add ypur own highlights. It is double the faffing time, but I like the streaky effects. Otherwise Feria colour boost was OK also one of the Clariol ones. There s a new one I think it is called 100% or something, this looks like a possible soon. I am such a hair dye tart
