    Chocolate brown hair to ash brown
    I have dyed my hair chocolate brown for a few months now I really like it but it's annoying because it washes out and turns red so I decided to make a bit of a change and to dye it a different brown for example ash brown but I'm worried this won't get rid of all the red my hair has in it . How do I get rid of the red and make my hair light ash brown ?
    Thanks.:p

    Do you swim in a clorinated pool? That can cause hair to take color poorly. A stylist colored my daughter's hair (daughter is a syncronized swimmer) by first applying a product called "silk." That's not the true name of the product, I can't remember it. But, her hair took color, and it didn't wash out.

    To go from red to light brown without the red tones, you will need to pre-lighten the hair and then deposit the desired color. This hair coloring process can be tricky to do yourself. I recommend that you get it done professionally.
