Two months ago I dyed my hair red, a mix of Adore crimson, wild cherry and raging red. That is all fine, but now I want a bit warmer and more natural shade for the summer. It hasn't faded much and I have only had one touch up. I was thinking of putting Paprika over my already red hair (I am not gonna strip my hair). It looks like it's a bit dark and I'm fine with that, but I am a bit afraid it will not be orangey enough. I was thinking of maybe mix Paprika with Cajun Spice as it looks way more gingery. I am not sure. I would then consider one of each or two of one of them and one of the other.
One other thing: I always bleach my hair with Schwarzkopf Blonde(Nordic) and I need to touch up my roots. But I feel like I cannot get all my hair and get dark spots that I missed, probably because it's in a bottle and I have to squirt it out. I wonder if I can just squirt it into a bowl when it's mixed and apply it from there with a brush or if I should simply get the streak pack as it will turn into a paste and is not liquidy like the bottle bleach.
I will attach a photo of my hair after a couple of days when I first dyed it. It is in natural light and it's my iPhone so it's not the best quality.
Cajun Spice is super orangey (you can see the shade here).
People who've used Paprika report back that's it's a much more natural ginger shade.
You can mix the box blonde in a plastic bowl and apply with a tint brush if you find it easier--but if you're going to do that, just save yourself the money and buy a box of bleach sachets and a bottle of peroxide and mix your own π

I don't know where I can get it in my country, so it's not an option. But thank you.
I sometimes use Cajun Spice by itself, but because I have brown hair as a base it still turns out fairly natural looking. On the bits of light highlighted hair I have it is definitely much brighter! I often use paprika as well, it is definitely more natural looking and darker than Cajun Spice. I like the mixture of the two, paprika and cajun spice the best.
