Any colour B4 pros out there?

I have naturally brown/dark auburn hair (from what i remember).I have been colouring it many different shades of red from a pale copper to bright red.The last couple of years I have been the bright red and got a little bored of it so I used Colour b4.It has worked great with taking out the red (though it still has a slight red at the ends) I followed the process to the letter and then put a light brown level 1 colour ontop.So far so good but it has come out MUCH lighter than on the box-and I was worried it would go darker due to how light my hair was after colour B4.
Can I put another level one colour on top and try a darker one or do I still need to wait the suggested week?Also, (sorry) the new colour I have chosen is Nice and easy 110 natural light Auburn.....will this take over my already reddish hair or will I glow like Ronald Mcdonald?
Thanks for reading.

When I used it my hair went very light and very ginge, (but I am a ginge!!) it gradually got darker as I washed it, i didn't dye it again. HTH

If you are trying to get rid of the red then steer clear of the auburn, it will go a pinky coppery colour

what colour are you trying to get to eventually?

Thanks elliebug will see how it is over the next few days then.
Workshy-Would a bright red work better do you think? I wanted to eventually go back to my natural-ish colour and have coloured slices through it.

I would actually try another light brown, maybe one shade darker -I found that the red came through as I was washing it anyway, and then get the slices put in in the brighter colour -if you are trying to go red all over you may find it just goes back to the colour it was before you used the colour B4 which would mean you put up with the eggy smell for nothing lol
