Brunette colour now has red roots! Pic attached

[SubTemp]

I’ve been colouring my hair with nice and easy semi perm brunette for a few years, natural colour is very dark blonde. Recently for some reason my roots have been turning very red, is there an easy way to fix this at home? It’s looking rather ridiculous now 😔

I'm sorry I can't help much but this is happening to me too! I'm dark haired anyway and lately no matter what colour I put on, or my hairdresser it has a reddy tinge to it. I was told its because I have alot more greys at the root and so the colour is lifting.

No idea how true that is but I've just accepted it now.

Aww no :( I'd go to the hairdressers and get it stripped and start again. Xx

Do you have much Grey?

No, very little grey just a few odd strands

Not much help, I think it looks lovely- very ombré. X

I think I’ve realised what’s happened. I’ve always used medium ash brown dye but I picked up medium warm brown by accident on a 3 for 2 and I’ve used that twice. I wonder if I go back to the ash it will tone down

Can we combine our hair? I am naturally dark brown but as I am dying it to cover grey figured I would change the colour and go red -ish. So usually (although not right now as I am sat with hair dye on) my hair has a red tint with brown roots.

Sorry, absolutely no practical suggestions!

SubTemp If you use your normal ash colour I think it will be fine, but if not you can try a colour remover?

I have the opposite problem, growing out my ashy blonde but have dark ginger on the bottom half

Just go over it with a level 5 medium natural brown to neutralise it.

I was going to say, you need a brown with Ash in the title as ash counteracts the red. Ash shades look a bit green on the washing out stage, this fixes/removes the red.

So to update, I wanted to strip some colour as my ends were black. I used the vitamin c method 3 times to pull as much colour as possible which worked but gave me brassy blonde roots, then when for a light ash brown to even it all out. Happy with the results, pic attached of before and after.
