Are there some hair types that aren't good for dying?

Question

I have recently dyed my hair, which was supposed to be a reddish brown, but it came out way darker than I thought it should, and the color isn't consistent all the way through. I naturally have a darker blonde/ brown shade, so it almost doesn't look like I dyed it at all, and it looks almost nothing like the shade on the box (even the part where it tells you what different natural shades are supposed to look like after you dye it).

It seems that every time I dye my hair, this happens. I've tried looking this up and haven't found any answers for it, but I'm beginning to think that my hair just isn't good for dying. It doesn't seem like anything I do works for getting a consistent color all the way through.

Any tips?

If you want it brighter I would suggest bleaching it... the whiter you bleach it the brighter it gets. The only down side is that it destroys your hair if you don't seriously take care of it but if you look at this website it shows you how to properly take care of bleached hair: http://www.ehow.com/how_4947522_blond-hair-healthy-strong-beautiful.html

Yes .. my hair is a medium brown that turns blonde in the sun .. but if I try to dye it blonde .. it becomes red .. no matter the amount of money I paid or have done it myself .. 

I recommend you leave it alone .. or try something like henna after a skin test .. 

colors other then naturals .. go with splat .. love it ..
