I see there are a lot of questions about red hair in this board, but I have one of my own as well!
My hair is naturally a very light blonde - my stylist says it is a level 8. I have dyed my hair dark red in the past, but it fades so quickly and I could not afford enough salon trips to keep up with it.
Well, I'm starting to miss red hair, and I really want to try a shade like this picture

I could go to a salon and ask for something similar to this, but I still cannot afford a salon trip every four weeks, which is pretty much what it would take to stop this from going orange on me. (My previous shade of red was a bit darker than the picture and it faded to carrot-orange after a little over a month)
Does anyone know of a home dye I could use to help maintain the color, at least so that I could extend the time between salon visits to something fairly manageable?
I have not tried home dye before because I am worried about its effect on my blonde roots - people have warned me about getting "hot roots" from red hair dye.
Also, I've been browsing dyes online and I haven't found anything close enough to the tone in that picture. I'm really interested in something close to that.
