Dying hair red from white platinum blonde?

I dont even know the brand at sallys that I always get but it looks great on me, my moms tried the reds right by it too, its the one that comes in skinny long little box with the purple bottle developers, btw the developer is great for sensitive hair and smells hecka good, dang I dont know the brand. I love that it is low in amonia or peroxide but I think it has none. Ive done reseach on this and thats wat professionals recommend they also recommend deposit only colors, otherwise known as semi-permanent cause they are less harsh to hair and fade in case u dont really like the color (However as with any hair that has been bleached, u should use a filler, this is key, I found this out many years later, as my hair colors would never stay, theyd wash right out because it was porous from the bleach, but you have to follow the instructions carefully, There is about two or three types of fillers, color wise, neutral, red and i dont know the other but red gives you better results in order to deposit the red, it looks truer and will fade less, I heard that your hair looks orangey but thats natural its not the final color on your hair and thus you need to deposit the color into it after the procesing filler time or whatever instructions on the filler. There are several brands i think but choose the one that contains protein, They say go for the neutral one if you never done it but these dont deposit as much red, might as well go with the red if you know you want the red to stay, b cuz i used a light copper brown and I only wished it looked redder. So maybe it would of had more pizaz if i went with the red filler. Just go to Sally's and also try the Neutrogena hair mask it smells awesome, I got mine at walgreens. Hope u get great results. Remember to follow the instructions carefully, also a tip of advice is use developers carefully, The norm is 20 for all colors but you may use 30 or 40 depending on how light u want the color to be:) I practiced with these for a long time, now I usually use a 30 to make any color look brighter. Hope this goes for your hair. If its too platinum stay with 20. And remember to be carefull with "base colors". Base colors like blue and violet neutralize red so avoid these at all cost since you have already gone that route with the platinum or at least your stylist has. Try depositing red or orange tones to the least. The filler should act as the brown the red is in the base of color and your color results should come out more stable. Im sure this will help, along with the leave in treatments for your hair. Take care.
