You need to go to a salon. Not only will this be hard to do at home, but red does not like to stay in hair for very long (it fades very quickly). Hairdressers will have the good products that keep color in longer, and will also know the best techniques to prevent as much damage to your hair as possible.

To color your are at home this just isn't possible to achieve a red red color. Your hair needs to be pre-softened. Which means a couple of shades of your natural hair color need to be removed before applying the red red color. This is best left to the professionals. Yes it can be done at home, but the end result may not be what you really want. It can have blotching or just an outrages color. Reds are difficult enough to get in and keep in all hair types, not just in African American hair. Do yourself a favor and save yourself a lot of heartache. Go to a salon.
