A few questions:

If you never dyed your hair, what colour would it be right now? Are you a natural auburn or does it run in your family?

What colour was your hair prior to the med ash brown?

 

[MissLima]

dark brown!

I have a few ideas as to why your hair has changed from an ash tone to red tone.

Is it possible that you went to a lighter brown shade even though you dyed your hair an ash tone?

The lighter colour can cause a chemical to an oranginess - and the ash neutralized it to a reddish colour.

Always check the mixer tube in the box before you purchase it - sometimes people like to play games and switch colours. Almost happened to me if I hadn't looked.

I have been dying my hair for countless years. The one thing I do notice is how easy the dyes want to come out red/gold/brassy even if they say they are neutral or even ash tones.

Dark brown hair can have red/auburn/golden tones. Sometimes hard to tell because it is dark.

Even if you use an ash shade, once if fades, the natural tones can can through again.

If you want to get rid of the red tones and get the ash back, the bast bet is to go to a decent salon and have a colourist do it. If you try to do it again at home, you still might have problems and you'll just end up drying your hair out.
