I got my hair done yeterday. I got a full Head of brown colour and strips of red colour going through it. I didn't like it the red looks orange to me but everyone says it nice. I wanted to put in a full head colour but don't know anything about mixing colour and peroixide. Can someone help me please?

Are you wanting to go all over brown or red?
If you want to take out the red try putting peroxide on it.
You get this from Sallys (UK) you may have to get 12% then you need the blue powder (if in doubt ask they're really helpful) depending on your length you may need more. I have shoulder length hair and used two bottles of bleach and two sachets.
Then you just mix them together and apply on the bits you want.
Don't leave longer than an hour within this time it should go yellow/white.
If your wanting a bright red you may have to take the orange out by using a toner ask in Sallys about this then put a bright red on.
If you want brown then be very careful to get a neutral brown because any other shade may go a bit funny (ashy browns go grey and warm brown will go orangey). I recommend nice and easy they have a colour grader at the side of packs to help.
