Coloring hair.?

i had stripped my hair a while back (yeah i know bad for your hair) but luckily my hair is in good health. the color i have on top is redish brown now (more red) and i was wondering. would it be okay to put a semi permanent on top of that, or would the red show back through? my natural color is dark brown and i would like to let the color show as my hair grows out, but i don't want to have half red and have dark brown hair.

thank you for your help. i will most likely put a dark brown color on my head if i use a semi permanent.

When you chose a dark brown to use be sure and pick something with the word ash on it! Dark ash brown will cover up the red. but I would chose a medium ash brown because your hair probaly is pretty porous it will take the color very fast! A medium ash brown will probally end up much darker, on porous hair. A semipermant hair color would be OK, but you would probally have better luck with a LO peroxide color. A lo peroxide color would take better than a semi-permanent one. A semi-permanent color is made to last 4=6 shampoos, and you would have to use it quite a bit to keep your color fresh. You would not have that problem with a Lo- peroxide color. Make sure you do the roots first, and the most porous hair last and be sure and wipe the porous color with a towel to check the color to make sure it is not getting black! you might have to leave it in less time that what is called for on the box! Most of the Color boxes have a toll free # on them so you can also call a professional to get help!
