 schwarzkopf Live colour xxl is what I used the first time I dyed my hair from dark brown to red.
It worked really well and went red red red, after that i was able to experiment with different hair dyes to find the shade of red I wanted.
I then gave up and dyed it back to brown and let it grow out :P but good luck

 I'm no hair expert and I reccomend talking to a stylest even if you want to do it yourself. I do know however that stripping your hair or pigment is a terrible thing to do and I don't think it is worth getting the colour. It will dry your hair right out and cause alot of damage that you would have to spend alot of money to fix.
I would think, just based on colour mixing that if you did more of a solid red without the brown in the dye it should mix with your darker hair and give you the red I think you are looking for. Please don't quote me on this and I still say talking to a hair stylest is your best bet because I find it hard to really picture everything based on a word description.
Good luck though and I hope you can get it to turn out because I'm sure it will look good.
