Longer lasting pillar box red hair colour

[Shonajay]

Since I lost quite a bit of hair after CANCER, I've been every colour under the sun. Crazy colour, directions etc but I've found a great colour, and despite using colour protection shampoo and conditioner it's only lasting a week. I think it's the small box paste version of xxl brights or something.

I've seen a henna one that looks fab, but can you dye over henna when you want to change colour? And does anyon know of a longer lasting red? I know it's one of the worst longevity wise but I'm loving IT as I lost my job I can be free!, man!

Red is so, so difficult because it fades so fast!

I like the Garnier Olia intense red but it might not be bright enough for you.

I don't know if it's worth going to a hairdressers for it maybe?

Wella colour touch, which is a salon range but easy to use,has some very bold reds. The 66/45 shade and the 55/65 are both nice. I use these and top up every 3-4 weeks. you'll need to buy developer and colour but because you only mix what you need I find it cheaper in the long run. You can also mix them easily

I used to have bright red hair and then coppery orange and both faded really quickly. I didn't find that colour protecting shampoo etc did anything. What worked for me was conditioner with hair dye in it.

I used this brand. Not the cheapest but it worked, I'm sure other brands are out there too.

Ps you can buy it online or from Sally salon services

Thanks so much! That was quick will have a good look tomorrow, there's a Sally's near me x
