Learn more about your hair.

The first step to getting a darker shade of red hair is to learn more about your hair. Your hair will only get darker and not lighter, so if you’ve never dyed it before, this can be tricky. If you have dyed your hair before, it may be easier for you to get a darker shade.

Pick the right formula for you.

Once you’ve decided on the right formula for your hair, it’s time to choose the type of dye. There are two types:

• Permanent Hair Dye – this is a semi-permanent dye that works by changing the color molecules in your hair. The new color molecules remain in place until they naturally wash out or fade away after several weeks or months.
• Semi-Permanent Hair Dye – this is a semi-permanent dye that works by depositing a thin layer of pigments (also called dyes) onto the surface of your hair shafts, which then gradually wears off over time as you wash and style your locks with heat tools like blow dryers or straighteners (these processes make it easy for dyes to wash away).

Take care of your hair before you try to make it darker.

Before you attempt to dye your hair, it is important to make sure that your hair is in the best possible condition.

It’s also a good idea to trim your ends as much as possible. Some people like their hair to cover their ears and some don’t, but if you want to dye your hair darker than the natural color that you have now, it may be necessary for you to cut back on how long your hair is. To avoid breakage during trimming sessions like this one and during other times of the year when there isn’t enough sunlight or moisture available (e.g., winter), apply heat protectant before applying any kind of heat source such as an iron or curling wand onto wet or damp strands of tresses!

Make sure that all buildup has been removed from every strand before applying any kind of color product/dye/mousse/gel etcetera onto them too! This means using a clarifying shampoo first because most other shampoos which include conditioners will not fully remove residue left behind by previous applications which did not contain those ingredients; otherwise there would be no point using anything else besides just water alone (which cleans everything).

Prepare yourself for the color changing process.

If you’re dying your hair at home, prepare yourself for the color changing process. There are a few things that can make it easier on yourself and your wallet.

First, wear old clothes (or just keep your current outfit on) as the dye may stain lighter materials like cotton or silk. Next, put down a towel to protect the area where you will be dying. You don’t want to ruin your carpet or furniture with expensive dyes! Make sure you have everything else ready as well: gloves are always helpful when doing any kind of crafting because they protect against stains; if necessary, ask someone to help out so they can hold things while you get things done!

Follow the directions on the box carefully.

• Follow the directions on the box carefully.
• Apply to dry hair (if you’re using a product that says otherwise, ignore this).
• Wash your hands thoroughly before applying it in order to avoid staining them.
• Put some in your hair and give it time to soak in thoroughly before rinsing out.

Leave the dye in for as long as it says to, even if you do not see a change at first.

Patience is key here. The color will take a while to show up, and even then it might be subtle. It’s best to leave the dye in for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, it may be worth doing so overnight or even longer (though make sure you’re not going anywhere!). If your hair has been lightened before, this process will take longer because of the damage done by previous dyes.

Wash your hair with a shampoo that is made for dyed hair.

Wash your hair with a shampoo that is made for dyed hair. These shampoos are formulated to treat color-treated hair and the ingredients in them help to protect your dye job from fading. If you aren’t sure what kind of shampoo you should use, ask your hairstylist or read the label on the bottle.

Use conditioner after every wash.

To make your hair darker, you must do two things:

• Use conditioner after every wash
• Leave the conditioner on your hair for at least 10 minutes before washing it out

Using a deep conditioning mask once or twice a week will help to keep your hair from drying out as well and will provide an extra boost of moisture which is essential for healthy and shiny hair!

Use a deep conditioner once a week to help keep your hair healthy.

You should use a deep conditioner once a week to help keep your hair healthy and moisturized. Deep conditioners are made for people with dry or damaged hair, and they are different than regular conditioners in that they contain more ingredients that will help repair damage to your hair. You should leave deep conditioners in for 5-10 minutes before washing them out.

Consider getting highlights or lowlights put in to give your hair dimension and help it look natural and healthy.

If you’re considering adding some dimension to your current color, consider getting highlights or lowlights put in. Highlights are lighter than your natural hair color, and lowlights are darker. Getting highlights or lowlights can help your hair look more natural and healthy. You can also get dramatic results with bolder colors like reds, purples, blues and greens!

It may take some trial and error, but eventually, you will get your perfect shade of dark!

You may be impatient and want to find the perfect color right away, but it does not work that way. You will need to try different things until you find what works for you. Take your time and do not rush this process!
