I have medium dark brown hair and I want to dye it the same red as in the photo. Which would be the best way to do it and what products? :-)

I was the same red not long ago. You need to go to a salon and bleach your hair, you then pick the red you want (mine was corvette red but I used red fudge color)
Red is hard to maintain so you need to have money and be able to always re do it :)
Hope this was a little helpful x

If you want to do it at home ,, you'll have to bleach it until it goes blonde and wait until the next day to dye it red a box dye would do fine that's how I did mine and my hair was bright red there's a picture on my profile if you would like to view it  :)

Thank you so much for the help. What kind of bleach works best? And that doesn't turn your hair to straw.

I had my hair that color red and I used ion lightener from Sally's. it worked well and didn't damage my hair. Although I should warn you, red is really difficult to maintain. The color fades pretty quickly and it is also a pain in the ass to get out if you want to go back to medium brown

If you buy bleach and do it at home make sure to get an on the scalp bleach. It will say it on the pack. Good luck :)

Or instead of bleaching it, you can always buy the loreal hi color for dark hair only it comes in different shades of red. I just coloured my own at home. did the color magenta washed it off blow dryed it and did a top coat of manic panic in red

Leave manic panic on for 2-3hrs. it contains no amonia. its not your regular hair dye. so there is no damage to your hair. its just a semi perm dye so your red can last a little bit longer. always wash hair with cold water if you want it to last a bit longer. and you can also add some manic panic red in your conditioner so you can deposit some red everytime you wash your hair.
