I'm looking for a little advise on how to achieve bright red hair.

My hair is currently a mix of dark purple and bright purple that has faded into a patchy pink.

I'm thinking the best option is going to be the Loreal hi lift red, how is that going to go over with my bright sections and dark sections? Does anyone have any better ideas? Rather not bleach it all. Also I'm in Canada and don't have an Ulta or Sally's but I believe I can order off the sally site.

HELP!

I can't see the picture but here's my advice cause I went from black hair like box dying my hair dark brown and putting like henna black in it for months to pretty vibrant red hair. First and foremost make sure your hair is SUPER conditioned and heathy. Meaning no dry, split ends. The healthier your hair the better. Nearly in order for me to go I used a Color stripper (I used Color Fix) on my hair at least 2-3 times to get the dark out of my and to the shade I wanted. I waited 3 days and then I went over my hair with Loreal Hi color in Magenta mixed with Red. Ion Color Brilliance also makes a good red.
