Howdy! So on a complete whim I decided to dye over my lightbrown/blonde ombre hair with a royal blue dye. It was fun for a while, but as I'm graduating college this week- I need to look more "professional."

I used a color stripper on my hair and my hair went from blue black/royal blue ombre to green/teal ombre. The colors are still very vibrant, so I'm unsure of what to do next.

Ultimately, I'd really like to go a coppery red (and hopefully keep all of my hair - I've been conditioning it like crazy) but I'm not sure how possible that is now :(

Dawn dish soap is good for removing color without being as damaging as a color stripper. It looks very healthy now, so that's a good sign. And you're in luck, as reddish tones are a good way to cancel out green. I think a dark red brown would be a good way to cover it up quickly, but if you've got some time to work on fading the color then I think a copper time could work too!

Dawn dish soap helped
My mom fade out her hair when she accidentally dyed it pink but she did that almost immediately after she saw the pink. I think it'd work if you dyed a slightly darker color over it and wAsh it with the dawn to fade it out a bit. Then after a couple days try the color you desire.

Maybe just for graduation why not go for a nice warm brown? I think you'd look really pretty in a brown shade.

** I'm not a hair person though so yea lol good luck, what did you study in college?*

No not an ash shade. That has blue grey cool tones to it. To make your hair neutral you need red warm tones. Ultimately, you need to consult a professional. They can direct you the best. :) I would do something red or a very warm brown color, but be careful because it could get mossy and you have very fair skin  :)
