I dont want a subtle change, im thinking going blue/black underneath (i have picked Garnier 100% colour, #210). But now im looking for a bold red.........Cherry i could use your help!!!

Try Feria it has the New Red line that is really wild and they only do vibrant reds so maybe you could look into that.

I tried Feria's Power Reds line once and the results were much darker (and strangely less red) than I expected. Same thing happened to my friend Sandy, whose hair is naturally a darkish blonde colour.

What I use now is Colour Brilliance by Ion.

I think it's actually meant to be used in salons, but I like it a lot better than anything else I've tried. This is the last colour of theirs that I used:

It doesn't look nearly as red there as it actually comes out, which is more like this:

(although I think you knew that. . . oh well. lol.)

Hope this helps, even just a little!

Yes that is a good product but not very easy to find in Canada. Redken and loreal are the 2 products that are easier to access. For professional hair coloring

Well, there is really only one way to find a good haircolour. The power red might not have worked for you, but it may work for me. Guess i will try whatever seems reddest, and then post a picture once i get it done. Thanks for your help everyone!
