    Your best bet is to talk to a hair dresser. Dying red hair to any other color is tricky.

    Red is just really hard to cover. I know, I had red hair for a while (not naturally), and I always dye my own hair. When I decided to get back to brown, it was impossible to cover. No matter what I did it always came out red, or with very distinct red underneath.

    It took years to get rid of the red, and that was only because the color finally grew out.

    A hair dresser can strip your hair so it can accept new color, but, it won't be cheap, and it will damage your hair.
