I have brownish red hair but I dye it a light color of auburn. And with in a week it goes from red to blonde. What is the best way to keep my hair red longer?

cut the developer by 1/2 and add water. more color will be deposited into the hair and your natural shade won't be lifted too much.

color lesson: developer strips your natural color while the color part deposits.

the developer is too strong. it's lifting your natural color so much that when the color fades - IT ALL FADES. red color molecules are also the largest - therefore when it fades it does so at a rate that seems not normal.

have you ever noticed those american flag stickers on cars (9/11)? have you noticed that the red fades more quickly than the blue or white? look next time you are out driving.

go for a real shade of red instead of lightening it. don't be shy! of course you may have hair that needs to be dressed in a salon... but try a true red first something that adds color instead of stripping color... or try henna

Use a red henna. Not only will it stay red longer, but it is so much healthier for your hair.

It sounds like your color is too harsh and it's lifting it too much. You can add 1/4 distilled or mineral water to the peroxide.If you use to high of a volume of peroxide the color will only partially coat the hair.By adding water you will weaken the peroxide from 20 volume to 10 volume. So, however much peroxide is in the bottle add 1/4 distilled water accordingly. Find yourself a milder shampoo if you can. try finesse. it's the best OTC product I know of.
