What To Do About Fading Red Hair ??

I dyed my hair a darker bright red about two weeks ago, and it's already fading to a reddy pink orangey browny colour.....all in all, its not looking too nice. I want to give it red streaks or black streaks or SOMETHING to fix it. Also- I want to keep it from fading, and do something to boost the colour. I already wash it in tinted red shampoos and conditioners made for red dyed hair that I got at my salon so i dont know WHAT the problem is. Help ?

Look on the net for herbal tea hair treatment. I died my hair auburn a few years ago, and I am normally dark blonde. It started fading and I used, I think it was Chamomile tea. You boil it, of course let it cool, and then pour over your hair while in the bath, wrap in a towl and keep on for 30 minutes. It brings out the darker color. I've also heard of adding cayenne pepper to it???

You may be using too harsh of a shampoo that is lifting the color off your head and making it lighter. I know you sai dyou tried red shampoos or whatever, but you should try those glazes.

All reds fade the fastest. Try asking your stylist to process your color under a low heat dryer. This helps open your hair's cuticle and it will recieve the color better. Also, leave your conditioner on for 3-5 minutes to seal the cuticle after you use hot water to wash it in the shower. You can try washing only every other day, too.
