Hi guys I've been bleaching my hair since about 2 years only bleaching the regrowth not the whole length. Well I've decided I'm tired of the up keep and would like to dye my hair a burgundy or darker red. Not vibrant red! I was wondering what you guys had to suggest for a good dye that would not come out super cherry red on my bleached hair. Thank you!

It's not necessarily that a product doesn't work good it's just... You're going from like a level 8 or 9 and going down to like a 3-5.
When you're going from light to dark, you'd need a filler color.
Have you ever seen women go from blonde to brown and it ends up looking green or reddish?
It's like coloring a white t-shirt black with a fabric dye, if you leave it in for like 15 minutes and take it out it'll be a lighter shade of gray.
So, with hair you can get a semi permanent dye that's about two shades darker than your hair and leave it in for a bit THEN go ahead with the permanent dye in burgundy or dark red that way it'll have the depth and not turn out a bright red or pink.
You don't HAVE to use a semi permanent dye, you could just color it twice but a semi-permanent color doesn't need any developer and they usually contain some oils and color

I agree with Aurora, depending on how you want your color to fade, you can use a different filler color. Example; if you're going from a 9 to a 4, and you want it to fade more of a true red, I would use something like a 7RB or even a 7RV for a more violet red. If you want it to fade more natural/brownish, you could use a 7N (depending on the color line you use and the undertone of their naturals) or a 7NB. I would recommend Pravana natural colors. Pravana is known for their vivids, but their naturals are great! You can use it as a demi or permanent color depending on what developer you use. So go in with the zero lift with your chosen filler color, process, rinse, dry, then go in with your permanent color using a 10vol. PLEASE keep in mind though, red can be extremely stubborn and hard to remove. Sorry for the long post!

You need to repigment before you add on the actual color you want. And because of that, I would invest in getting it done at a salon despite wanting to save the money.
