I used Loreal Excellence HiColor Hilights for Dark Hair. No bleach. My roots are lighter than my end... I'm trying sooo hard to stay away from bleaching it.
I wouldn't even attempt this at home. I would seek a professional. Rhinna's red is so intense that her hair doesn't even look healthy(plus her's has a slight orange undertone to it so I'm sure the stylist mixed shades) Her process is super drying to the hair. Have you investigated hennas? At least those aren't as damaging as a full on color job.
I like yours too!! Its like natural chili pepper red which totally screams "I am hot, I am powerful, and I am going to work it." However, if you really want that shade of red, you will probably have to bleach it first. 1. Because its on a lighter base, 2. It's not a naturally occurring hair color which means that it's super pigmented and your hair follicles need to be completely open. Either way consult your hairstylist, bleaching is a big deal and you could easily ruin your hair, plus she might have ideas how to achieve a brighter red without bleach :D
