Professionals - how do I keep my hair color without frying my hair?

I color my own hair strawberry blonde (a level 7/8, and I am a level 6 or so). I am coloring more often than I'd like in order to hide grays and because the red fades out so fast, usually in 3 -4 weeks. I would like to try adding a semi-permanent reddish color as a boost, but am afraid the double process over my whole head will cause breakage and fry my hair. It's already not in great shape, but my ends just look like a bad bleach job at this point - no red whatsoever (my hair is long). Will ammonia-free hair color still damage my hair? Suggestions? Help!
