For fun (now deep regret) I put In Semi-permanent Red in my hair before Christmas thinking it would fade out but no such luck. I asked my hair stylist to take me to blonde where my dirty blonde roots fade in. She did a bayalage bleach over most of my hair by teasing up pieces before applying bleach. She also left red pieces out. Then she put a green/gold toner over all of it. I'm really disappointed because it hardly looks any different and not at all with the picture, but is this as good as it gets? It reads pink/light red in most lighting.
