How much hair dye (the box kind, Garnier Nutrisse to be exact) would I need to use?

Question

I have pretty long dark brown/black hair, and I'm planning on dying it a dark red color.
My mom and I always buy one box of hair dye and then we share it, and it never drastically changes our hair color, just lightens it a bit and gives it a tint of reddish brown. Usually, maybe every year or two, we go to a salon and dye it, but sometimes just for fun we use the box hair dyes.
I was just wondering if it matters how much hair dye you use; would one box be enough for both of us, or would the color be stronger if we each used a box instead and applied more? She thinks it won't make much of a difference, but idk=P just wondering.
thanks

depending on how pigmented you want your hair to be, you should use about 1 box and leave it in longer than it says.  this is only if you are dying your whole head--if you want highlights only, then they same applies but you probably only need half a box.  this all depends on how long your hair really is.  my hair goes down to the middle of my back and i still only need 1 box, garnier nutrisse usually gives you a lot of product so you should be fine.

hope this helps!

if half is enough, half it is

BTW, stronger colour for the longer you leave the dye in (:, try leaving it in a extra 10-20 minutes

if your hair isn't already blonde, then you definitely will would desire to pre-lighten it. With own reports with Garnier bleach, it fairly merely turns your hair orange :| much extra risky with purple hair!!!!! I advise going to a salon.
