Dying medium brown hair red without bleaching?
I have medium brown hair (not dark at all) with natural copper/orangey highlights. I want to dye my hair bright red (not natural red) but I really want to avoid bleaching/pre-lightening. The dye I bought is Manic Panic's Pillarbox Red. Can anyone explain or show me a picture of how medium brown hair dyed bright red without bleaching might turn out, or offer suggestions on how to make it brighter/more vibrant?
Right now my hair is relaxed, so I want to avoid using a lot more chemicals (my reason for not wanting to bleach)
honestly when you use manic panic if you want to really have that pillbox red (which btw, is their best color) you have to bleach out your hair. not a good idea if you have chemically relaxed or "ethnic" hair. baaaaad idea, sorry i know how tempting it is. I have dyed my hair w/manic panic several times, and a few times i have used it over my natural hair color. it's just not as intense and brightly colored all the way thru. I would call your local beauty supply. ask them if you can use a developer like 10 or 20 volume with the manic panic?? good luck hope it turns out for ya!
