I have dyed my hair for the last 15 years or so. My hair is damaged. I usually go with a dark reddish brown. Well as spring time is here I wanted to go a bit lighter. I bought Ion lightening powder and used that. The out come was whiter then white roots and Orange hair. I purchased ion dark intense red blonde. The result was bright orange. So after doing some online digging, I have figured I need to go dark again. Am I OK with just getting a brown color with slight red tones. I don't want to be solid brown if I don't have to. I like the red tones and would like to keep them.
