When dying your hair at home, the roots sit the longest in the dye...making it darker. Once that timer goes off you wash it out therefore the color doesn't stay as long in. (Sorry I'm not good at explaining )

It's called 'hot roots' the heat from your head processes the color faster, and it's virgin hair, next time put the dye in all your hair except right next to the scalp, then set and start your timer, put the dye on your roots, this way it will be on less time then your ends.

I think red is one of the hardest colors to try to do yourself. Especially if you've never had red hair before. I agree with Elizabeth but honestly next time I would go see a hair stylist. I've been doing red on myself over the last few years but I mix it with a dark brown and I don't get the damage of just the red alone. About 2 years ago I went for a really purple red and it looked amazing at first but the box color really damaged my hair. It made it a completely different texture and took going to a hairstylist to get my hair back to normal.

Truthfully, I think it looks really natural. Your roots are the part of hair that often gets scrubbed with shampoo so they will often fade fastest. After the first few washes your hair will most likely begin to fade into a matching shade! I am in absolute love with that color on you, by the way!

Hmm seems like you need a filler! They may be hard to find if you're not a professional! If it's really that noticeable and something you can't fix don't hesitate on professional stylist to fix you right up they know exactly what they're doing and your hair usually comes out better (with no problems that is) good luck feel free to ask any questions I'm a licensed cosmetologist! Good luck xoxo.

This happens to my hair every time I dye it. The roots are the healthiest part of the hair since it is the newest. Since the roots are healthiest, they absorb the color very easily. Definitely look into purchasing a neutral protein filler and applying it all over your hair before you dye it. It will help the dye absorb evenly into the hair.
