You mean bright red? Assuming you have blonde - brown hair that hasn't been colored many times over, here's what you do: Go to the beauty supply store and buy black dye, level 20 developer, a packet of powder bleach (I prefer loreal super blanc), level 40 developer, red/gold corrector, a bottle of red manic panic or punky color dye, two mixing bowls, two brushes to apply color, gloves, and a processing cap. You'll also need aluminum foil, vaseline, good conditioner, and an assistant. First, tear the foil into strips- about four inches wide, and a bit longer than your hair. Mix 1 part bleach, two parts 40 developer, and about a teaspoon of red/gold corrector in one bowl. Section out the hair that you want to color red and clip the rest out of the way. Using a strip of foil under the hair, apply the bleach evenly to thin sections of hair and fold the foil up on it. Put on your processing cap and process for 30 to 40 minutes total, whatever it takes. You can speed the process up by heating it with a blow dryer. You should do this if your hair is darker than about a level 6. When the bleaching is finished it should be a light chicken yellow color. After the bleach has processed for about ten - fifteen minutes, mix the black color with 20 developer in the other bowl (check the box for the correct ratio).Start at the bottom, applying black color to each row. you don't need to put foil on each section, just protect your neck by putting vaseline along your hairline and sticking a piece of foil to it. Make sure you apply the color evenly. Put your cap back on and let that process along with the bleach for about 20- 25 minutes. When you rinse it, you need to keep the blonde parts away from the black, or your blonde will turn gray. I recommend holding the blonde- still in foil- above your head while you rinse the black out in the shower. When the water is clear again, you can rinse the blonde out. Shampoo and condition with a quality after-color conditioner. Dry your hair, then apply the red color to the blonde sections. It doesn't need to be mixed, and if it gets on the black it won't affect it. Process according to the package directions. Rinse, dry, and you're done. Bright red dye is never permanent, so if you want it to stay vivid you'll have to reapply it every week or two.

Try the clip in extensions. You can get good human hair extensions in loads of different colors and if you don't like them you can take hem out. Plus, they last a long time if you take good care of them.

Or, if you must dye your hair the easiest way for you to do it at home, by yourself is to use a cap/frosting cap which you can purchase at a beauty supply store such as Sally's for less than $4. This is only effective however if you have medium length hair or shorter as it is impossible and painful to try to pull longer hair through the cap. Also, if you are desiring chunky highlights, you must go to the salon.

Pull desired hair through cap. Lighten hair using bleach (also supply store, under $4) with a 40 volume developer. Rinse hair and KEEP CAP ON! Dry hair you just lightened and apply red hair dye and time--again rinse with cap on (to avoid affecting other hair). Remove cap and apply a new one. Pull hair through again (avoiding new red strands) and apply blk dye, time and you get the idea.

This is VERY time consuming and much easier to do a single color.

Dying your own hair is very trial and error and I would advise that going to a salon is best and will produce good results if you do not understand what you are doing There are other methods but this is the most fool-proof I can think of if you are a first timer.
