I want to dye my hair so that the red tones come out, what should I use?

I normally use Clairol's Natural Instincts, and a couple of years ago I dyed my hair a color that gave me a lot of red tones, and it's still that way now. I don't like the red/golden tones in my hair that you see in the light, and I want to bring out my brown tones more. I have naturally brown hair. The thing is, in some places, depending on lighting, my hair already looks dark brown (inside my house, for instance). But outside and at class, my hair looks very medium brown - red/gold. I went on Clairol's site and took a questionnaire where I picked my current color, (medium brown) and then selected that I wanted a new color to get rid of these red/gold tones. It came up with "Clove- Medium Ash Brown" but I hear stories about making your hair green or gray looking. I only do semi-permanent dyes, and I'm willing to do a demi if needed. Should I use this color or go to a stylist and pay the cash to have them dye it whichever they reccomend to get rid of these tones?

If you're very serious about your hair and the color it turns out, I would invest the money in going to a salon. It's unlikely that the color from a salon will turn out to be not what you want, and if they do screw up, it's on them. Not you. But if you're in a stage in your life where you can experiment more with your hair, I would say try the at home stuff. It's cheaper and ususally works. If you ever want highlights and are doing them at home I found something that works great, a toothbrush! It'll give you a mixture of thickness in the highlights, and nothing too chunky.
Reply:Pick one of the colours you like, avoiding anything that says "Golden" or, of course "red/reddish" ... Personally, I also avoid "ash" because it comes out almost greenish, but some people can use ash. Maybe try for the ones that say "natural", "ash" or "beige". :)
Reply:I would recomend a demi color thats a simple ash brown leave this on your hair for 35-40 mins wash out only towle dry it. ... The green base in the demi should counter act the red...Every time you tint your hair alway look what the base color is
Reply:You can buy (same isle as color) a color remover. Use it then redo your color. I think red and gold tones come through naturally with most colorings.
Reply:Boo-boo green! Nothing says look at the red tones in my hair than boo-boo green. You should try it. On the contrary, life deals you bigger fish to fry other than the color you should be dying your hair. What you should be asking is, how do I end world hunger and bring about world peace.
