I've had red hair for about 8 months and as much as I adore being a redhead, it is a notoriously difficult colour to maintain and live with, requiring regular colour touch ups after the colour fades every month, and I had also lost patience with the constant staining of my shower, skin, clothes and bedding with the red dye.
I've had some bad DIY hair dying experiences so I booked myself into a salon so there would be less of a risk of it going wrong!
The first process was to bleach out some of the red colour...
This turned me a horrendous neon orangey/salmon/pinky/red colour as you can see..
The brown hair dye was then applied..

And.... voila!
A nice chocolatey brown :) The reason I went through the bleaching process first and didn't just dye it brown straight away was because I am planning to eventually go a caramel blonde colour, and I needed to remove some of the red before I could ever attempt to go blonde.
The overal process took about 4 hours and cost a fair amount of money but I feel it was worth it as I really had become frustrated with my faded red hair and a colour like brown is far easier to maintain.
Hope this post shines some light on the process involved in removing red hair dye!

Although I like the new color, the bleached one (that pink) is AWSOME. I also like your red hair but it must be difficult to keep it
