Hi there, Im new πŸ™‚

I had dyed my hair with boxed red dyes 4 times before I realized how damaging they were and how wrong I was doing it (did two in one day to fix a color, ugh). My hair had about 3 inches of regrowth before I found your site and decided to do red the right way. I did the lengths first but unfortunately didnt time everything right so now I have some dark orange and lighter orange with nice yellow roots for my regrowth area. Its not a perfect gradient. It's pretty patchy. I waited a week and tried to touch it up but its still very patchy. My hair cannot tak another bleach anything.  I ordered adore cajun spice and sienna brown in hopes my hair is light enough that the mixture of the two even out my base, but I doubt it.

Next step, darker red. Will purchase punky color wine red, but need to deepen it somehow to get an even base, right? no idea what my new base will look like with the cajun spice and sienna brown (hoping copper..)

If i mixed wine red with sienna brown, would that work to deepen the red? If not, is there another punky color i can get? i have access to those and manic panic readily. I realize this color is pinky, and I need it somewhat work appropriate. Can still look unnatural but NOT pink, you know?
