I was mistaken when I thought blonde hair took a lot of maintenance. Red hair is unbelievably more work. After one wash, half of the red stripped out while the other half underneath turned into a red brown color. Trust me it was not cute!
My red orange hair journey was short lived. I was determined to get my hair back to what I originally had it; balayaged.
I used everything from the ion Color Brilliance brand.
Day 1
1. My first step was to darken my roots. I used the shade 2NN.
2. I dyed the rest of the ends a 5A with the blue ion color booster to tone out the orange/red/copper tones in my hair.
3. The third step was to divide my hair into four sections (two in the front and two in the back). I teased four layers of the back section going diagonally and bleached those. The front sections were teased in a diagonal vertical direction. For this one, I took a very fine amount of hair to bleached.
Day 2
1. I divided my hair into four sections (two in the front and two in the back) just like before. Again, I teased four layers of the back section going diagonally and bleached those. The front sections were teased in a diagonal vertical direction.
2. After washing my hair, I toned it with a 6A mixed with an 8V. I left it in for about five minutes in addition to when I was done to applying the toner all over my head.
3. My hair was darker, but it lightened quite a bit. This is my hair after about 4-5 washed. I am in love with it!

I bought a ion Color Brilliance Semi-Permanent dye to cover up the uneven hair. It turned my hair color a very vibrant red-orange color. I waited two days before I washed my hair again as I already knew all the dye will wash out and leave me with faded hair. Below are pictures after washing out the dye.

I liked this hair but there was still a lot of red peeking from my bottom hair.
