So I had very light, practically platinum blonde hair (lightened 3 times)

I mixed purple inkworks with conditioner and applied it all over and my hair came out a very pretty lavender color.

I waited a couple weeks for it to fade, but it only went to a grayish purple color. (Even after clarifying shampooing it, even using baking soda and dawn).

So last night I decided to color correct it (soap cap: 1lightner:1 20vol developer:1 shampoo)
Immediately after applying it, my hair was blue.

Panicking, I washed it out (literally one minutes after lathering it all over) and now my hair is the color mint green in the majority of places ( the color of mint ice cream) (the lighting sucks in the picture but it's more green than that)

How do I get rid of it? Do I need to go get it bleached, or will another soap cap work?

Someone told me to crush beets and apply the purée to my hair to cancel out the color.

Your hair turned green because depending on the base color of the purple inkworks (which was probably blue) resulted in green. This happened because your hair (blonde/yellow) mixed with blue makes green. I would give your hair a rest, you don't want to swell the cuticle up more it probably is. Then you can try toning it with a red based toner that will cancel the green. Also: make sure the toner matches the level of your hair.
