    will my brown over red bleach out in the sun or go back to red?
    About a week ago I got my hair colored to cover my grays. The colorist tried to match the swatch as closely as possible to my natural color, which is a dark/dirty blonde. The color used was Matrix Socolor 509N. The outcome was a bright, dreadful red/orange. They tried to tell me how "beautiful" it was but I was so upset I just left the salon. A few days later I went back in and asked them to fix it, they put a medium brown on my hair (I don't know which number) and it turned a dark orange/red. Disgusted, I went to a different salon where the colorist applied double ash to my hair. The result of this application was a dark brunette/brown, pretty and much better than the red. I have never had hair this dark before and it is a major shock, even though I am pleased with it. I work in the sun a lot (we farm/ranch) so will the sun bleach my hair like it normally does or will it just take away the brown and leave me with that awful red color again? I am not at all high maintenance so this is killing me....I am desperate to return to my natural color!!
