Have you ever seen someone with brightly colored hair and wished you could try it out for yourself? Maybe you were too afraid of the damage bleaching would cause, especially if you have naturally dark hair color. Many people think that to get a bright and vibrant color you must first bleach your hair, but this is not always the case. There is a way to achieve this beautifully bold shade without bleaching and harmful chemicals that will destroy your hair. With these products and simple steps, you can channel your inner Ariel and achieve a bright red hair color from a brunette or black color at home, all at an affordable price.

The first thing you will need are some tools to help you apply the hair dye. If you've never dyed your own hair before, there are a few necessary tools you'll need to purchase. The first set of products consists of a mixing bowl and an application brush, which are both cheap and easy to find. The bowl is used to mix the products together, and the brush helps you apply the color evenly to your hair and get close to the roots. The pointed end of the brush is also ideal for parting your hair.

The second thing you need are rubber gloves. The red hair dye product is highly pigmented and will stain your skin if you get it on your hands, so these are important to have.

The main product you need to achieve the red color is a box dye product or red hair dye for dark hair. For dark hair we recommend the L'Oréal Excellence HiColor. This product is available in different shades of red, ranging from more orange shades to pink shades. It is designed to work with dark hair without the need for bleach.
