green tint, help!

Actually you want a WARM brown to counteract the green.  RED + GREEN = BROWN.  And they were right to tell you to wait, you have really overprocessed your hair which has made it very porous so it's gonna grab color, especially the base color, but probably not hold it for long.  Please don't put anymore permanent color on it.  You need to REALLY condition this hair to try to get it in better shape before doing anything else that's going to damage it.  As a temp fix until then you can get a CLEAR protein filler at Sally's and try a semi permanent color in a warm brown or the Artec color conditioner to tone down the green.

I'll also state the obvious, you should have gone right back to the stylist who did it wrong the first time and made them fix it.  Trying to bleach out permanent color is very damaging to your hair and most of the products available off the shelf aren't strong enough to do it anyway, hence the orange.

Good Luck,

Hi, I had my hair professionally colored Mar.1st. Way too dark brown and phony red. I didn't go back. Instead, 3 weeks later I used "clairol frost and tip" all over my hair and got orange color. Next day I use "extreme fx bleach kit", I got yellow and pale orange. Then I used "clairol, nice and easy, 116, natural light neutral brown" permanent color. It turned out very light color with a green tint. Called Clairol, they said I bleached too much and any color would have made it green and if I color it now it will be greener. Wait 4 weeks, wash it alot, then call them back and tell them what shade the green is and they'll tell me what color to use. It is a very light greenish tint. I can't believe I have to wait this long. It's so embarrasing. Anyone know what I can do that will work for sure? I'd like to achieve light brown hair w/o the green tint. , like my hair, .  Thanks in advance.
