Quick story. bleached tried dying purple but came out dark blue. few weeks later I just bleached again but it left a lot of green. a sa @ sallys said I should re-bleach or dye to brown black. none are an option for me due to damage and I don't want dark hair. I do have a different purple but was told the green would make it teal so not sure if I should do that. basically any suggestions?

A dark color would fade into a lighter color my friend had the same problem but she just kept dying it until her hair grew out

Green and purple will make a tealish color. U can counter act the green with a toner that's got a reddish orange base for now. Put that on wash out and do ur purple. Since u got so light this stuff is going to wash out alot. Permanent or semi.

I think u should let it rest a day or 2 and try shampooing with a clarifying shampoo and using a realllllly good mask. That green might fade out more quickly than you think. If you feel funny with green hair try headband or hat for a few days.

I would just dye it turquoise with manic panic. It's not damaging and you can mix it with conditioner and it doesn't hinder it's performance at all.

Honestly? Even if you do find a way to correct the green shade, the placement of those strands are a hot mess. Your ends are eaten by the bleach and it's ruining any shape your cut had. I hate to be the jerk around here, but the best thing you could possibly do is get a good, solid chop on it, dye it close to your natural color and try to grow out the damage. If you want some funk, get color clip in extensions.

the picture doesn't show how well my hair is. perfectly soft and fine. I've been all over with hair color since a young age and only go crazy on it every 2 year's or so. lol thanks for the suggestions though. my only main question was how to get rid of the green so if I do purple it won't come out teal. I wasn't going for green lol that happened cause of grow out of it being blue before. (it wasn't on purpose trust me)

to get rid of green you need to neutralize the green with a red filler. A filler will prevent the dark color from fading.

What you should do is get a Level 7 red brunette. Put the Red color on the green spots first let that sit for ten mins. Then put the rest of it on your hair for another 10 mins. Wash the color out then apply a level 5 natural hair color.

now why are you girls freaking out over my hair when I'm not. I do plenty of treatments on my hair to be proactive on the bleaching. my hair is naturally curly & frizzy and now since it's an ugly green/blonde of course it looks worse then what it is. I've been to cosmetology school with the professionals. thanks. so not basing it off the picture you see, just wanted to know of a good way to get rid of the green. thanks to the ladies with some good suggestions though :) I take all in consideration
