How the heck do I get red hair?

So..I’m actually a natural redhead...very orangey which turns lighter blondey in the sun. I’ve had 2 babies and so haven’t had anything done to my hair in 4 years and I fancied a change but not so much that I’d have to be dealing with drastic roots every month. So I decided I wanted to go Karen gillams colour which I think is stunning (pic attached) I picked out a very similar colour in the book at the hairdressers...but it didn’t take at all and now I’m a mid brown colour with a hint of red when the sun shines on it. I would have thought with being a red head already it would have taken fine....I’m stuck with what to do now. Should I keep on washing it so it gets lighter? Strip it using colour b4? Does anyone use a similar colour home hair dye??
Thanks for any help/tips!!

I have naturally red hair and achieved a similar colour using a pre mixed copper henna. I got mine from Just for Redheads in the US.

Sorry I used copper in summer and red in winter

Try adore direct dye. Its like a leave on conditioner deposit colour and do loads of red shades.
No developer involved so you can fade it out rather than cope with roots if you change your mind
They have lots of red shades
