Yes you should totally try Fire ! But a ratio of 1:1 with Tangerine would be too much I think.. Less Tangerine?

I'm confused - which of these pictures is what your hair looks like now?

It's the 2nd "collage"
I would advise you to clarify your hair (do not put conditioner or anything and be sure your shampoo doesn't have any silicones in it) and reapply on dried hair, for longer. For the ratio I'd say Fire+Tangerine 2:1

in the first pic ther s my color before fire red. the others on the first collage are the color i want to obtein..
in the second collage the 3 pic show my hair after fire red directions application.
and now i have the hair of the first and second pic in the second collage.okey?
what about vermillion + tangerine?

i usually use just 2 tubes of hairdye. so i think the ratio will be 1:1 ...

OK so your hair is currently dark orange?  Then I think you should use a pink-based red and leave it on for several hours.

To get a "true" red normally you'd mix an orange-based red with a pink-based red but since your hair already has a lot of orange I think you should use a pink-based red, like Poppy Red.

Vermillion is orange-based, as is Fire
Tangerine is just orange.
Poppy Red is a pink-based red - so it's red but on a pale blonde base would fade to pink.  You however have a deep orange base right now so the chances of it looking pink as it fades are very very slim.

You could mix a tub of Fire and a tub of Poppy, if it takes 2 tubs to do your hair anyway.  If you just use Fire I think it'll quickly go back to orange.  The pink base of the poppy should offset that and keep it looking truly red for longer.

Aha.  If it's never been bleached that might go some way to explain why it didn't take so well last time.  Dye takes best to slightly processed hair.
If the top left picture (in your first collage) is your natural hair colour you should still be able to get a good result.  You probably won't get as bright and vibrant a result as your desired shade, and it will probably fade/wash off faster but you should still be able to get a good red.

my hair color in the first pic is not natural, is a dye too. i know that don t bleach means to obtein not a brilliant color but i want however a color that will not fade to pink :3 so i ask you on my base (not bleaching) do i try a poppy red/ fire mix? poppy red scares me. i was thinkin to fire/tangerine mix, or flame/vermillion mix...i don t know Γ§___Γ§

If you mix orange based reds you will quickly have orange hair.

I think if you mix Fire and Poppy Red you will have red for longer.  It will probably fade to orange because you still have a lot of orange in your hair.

Remember Poppy Red is red  πŸ™‚  not only pink.
