Red orange to orange

Hi guys!

Just want to make sure I've got this right. I've got a red orange colour on my hair at the moment and I want to pull it towards a more true orange.

I figure putting something like Directions Flo Glow on top of it would make it more of a true orange. (There's an image of what my hair almost looks like below, maybe a bit lighter than the picture. (Just realised on one of my monitors it looks way more red than it is)).

Will of course be doing a strand test too, but wanted to see what you guys think first.

Thanks πŸ™‚

Flo glow might be a bit too much on the greenish side.

To be honest, from experience, adding yellow to red/orange does practically nothing. If it does, for some odd reason it turns sickly, but that's still when it's very pale orange.

I'd just fade it some more and then add a neon orange. It should be toned down enough by the red to make a truer orange.

Thank you!

Looking at my Flo Glow it really is more green than I remember!

I have some Napalm Orange in my cupboard, so I'll give it a few washes and see where I am then.

Thank you so much for your help! πŸ™‚
