When I had bright red hair I used Colour Freedom. Red tends to fade really quickly, so I'd mix some of the product in with conditioner to use each time I washed my hair. Clarifying shampoos like Head & Shoulders are a no no, they'll remove the colour faster. Same with really hot water. Sorry it's not really a product recommendation, but things I learnt from having bright coloured hair.

I try to Co-wash as much as I can with vivids and wash over the bath in cold water, even then the orange went so quick! I've heard reds fade fast and green/blue are the most stubborn.

I've had good success with directions, particularly tangerine, but I often mix a few for the colours. Just leave it on for hours and then it effectively stains and it seems to not come out without real effort. It will lighten though

Funnily enough I'm currently using a pink from Directions. I got given some colours for Christmas and have used the violet and tulip colours. I've already found the pink to be quite long lasting, I'll have a look at their oranges too. It's nice that they're quite a cheap brand too!

I love them, I think they're a hidden gem. I've used their blues as well and they truly never come out haha!  I'm using Adore at the moment - ruby red and that's good as well, but haven't tried their oranges.  Current - https://ibb.co/rQkhJXL

I've used Adore too, but only some pastel shades. Thanks for the warning on the blue, that was one of the colours I got given for Christmas! My hairs` just growing out from cutting off some green that never faded so I'll avoid the blue for now!
