I recently dyed my hair using a permanent dye. I went from a light cool brown, my natural color, to a medium brown. It was supposed to be a chestnut color, but it is still a cooler brown than I was hoping for. I want a hint of red. So basically now I'm wondering if I would be able to use a semi permanent medium reddish brown color over this medium brown that I have now, or would my hair not take the color because of the permanent dye? And if it is possible to redo my hair using a semi permanent dye how long should I wait? I am already planning on letting this color stay for the month that is suggested, but I do really want a warmer brown so I don't really want to wait longer than 4 weeks.

Mix a little dye and test a piece of your hair first.If you like the color then go ahead.Sleep with conditioner in your hair once a week so it is not dry.

You could apply semipermanent dye right away. I would do a test on a swatch of hair before I did the whole head.
