Try bleaching it first to a blonde then doing the red that would be closest to her

Well , more than likely that is not her hair. But bleach, bleach, more bleach, then a red. Go to a salon for that.

Pretty sure Rhianna wears a wig. But whatevs. You're going to have to bleach your hair - twice. As dark as your natural color is, it will go orange/yellow before it goes platinum. And you do, in fact, want it to be platinum. At that point you can get some Manic Panic, which is the only dye that I know of that will get you that bright, unnatural red. Manic Panic doesn't even attempt to go for natural.

Be careful dying your hair as bright red as Rihanna's. Red dye slips out of hair the easiest, so you might color your bed sheets red on accident.

Wash your hair in cold water to keep the dye from washing out quickly

Strip the color and bleach it but make sure you wait some time in between and deep condition the shit out of it!! This was my red hair when I had red :)

I would go to a solan. I didn't have to bleach my hair to get the red I wanted and it is a dark brown.

At least for me it was really hard to find a salon that would make my hair red. They don't carry the bright red color and when I went to a salon, they turned my hair pink -____-

I think schwarzkopf do a red for dark hair? But if you don't wanna try that then bleaching it is prob the only other way :)

Redken, Paul Mitchell, and a few other professional color lines have bright red.
