I think every woman should try red hair color at least once in their life! I did once, though it was rather an accidental affair and it did not turn out at all the way I had hoped. I bought a brown iridescent hair dye, marveling at the deep, shining brown color on the box. I dyed my hair just before bed, and when I awoke the next morning, to my surprise, my hair was a deep crimson.

If you are looking at different red hair colors, trying to decide what shade you will choose, there are some things you should know before you take the plunge, lest you may end up with a startling different version of red than you had envisioned!
To begin with, what you see on the box is not necessarily what you will end up with. There are many different shades of red hair color, ranging from strawberry blonde to dark red hair color, but the ultimate outcome of what your hair will look like once the dye is applied depends on a lot of other factors. Everything you have done to your hair previously–the other hair dyes, the perms, the sun bleaching and the chlorine from the swimming pool–will affect what hair color red you will end up with! That is not even considering the basic underlying pigment of your natural hair, which will also affect the outcome.
Before dyeing your hair, you will want to care for it properly and prepare it in advance. Minerals from water, such as chlorine, and styling products used on your hair such as mousse or hairspray, tend to build up on your actual hair shafts. These do not get cleaned off with regular normal shampoos, hence you should buy a special Chelating Shampoo. With these shampoos, the chelating agents bond with any minerals on your hair shaft, and remove them from your hair. You may also want to look into using a clarifying shampoo, which is a deep cleansing shampoo that can also get rid of build up from conditioners as well. You can find a great Chelating Shampoo here, and clarifying shampoo here.
You may want to consider having your hair dyed professionally, as professionals know how different hair color and hair products previously used can affect red hair color dye. Thus they are much more qualified to know precisely which dye to apply to your hair in order for you to get your desired color.
Alternatively, you could try streaking your hair with your red hair color of choice first and see how it reacts with your hair, and if you are happy with the color. If you are, then you can be fairly confident to go ahead and use the dye that you used to streak your hair to get fairly predictable results.
Finally, enjoy your red head of hair and the differences that it will bring about in your life to be a redhead for a time!
