I'm kind of in the same boat with my blonde highlights that have a little bit of a green tint.  (I pulled the color I was using on my roots through some sections of hair to add low-lights.  Not enough red in there...)

I've been thinking about trying the John Frieda red glaze, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.  (Not in the mood for a potential "adventure" this holiday weekend.  LOL.)

What about the color mousse that totally washes out when you shampoo?

Hi I AGREE WITH AUBERGINE , BUT YOU WOULD BE BETTER WITH A SEMI COLOUR MAYBE WITH MAHOGANY IN IT , SOMETHING THAT WILL RID THE HAIR OF THE GREEN TING , WITHOUT GIVING TOO MUCH WARMTH, BUT WHAT EVER REDS YOU USE , YOU WILL BE ADDING SOME AMOUNT OF WARMTH  TO YOUR HAIR. THERE ARE SHAMPOOS AVAILABLE TO NEUTRALISE COLOUR TONES, MOST COMMON ONE USED IS PURPLE TO NEUTRALISE THE YELLOW TONES FORM HAIR, THERE SHOULD BE ONE TO NEUTRALISE THE GREEN TING FROM YOUR HAIR.

I HAVE HEARD WHILST DOING MY TRAINING AS A HAIRDRESSER , THAT TOMATO KETCHUP MASSAGED THROUGH THE HAIR WILL REMOVE THE GREEN FROM YOUR HAIR , I HAVE NEVER TRIED IT SO FAR , LOL , BUT ITS MAYBE WORTH A TRY. THIS WILL NOT ADD WARMTH TO YOUR HAIR JUST REMOVE THE GREEN.

Read Claude's introduction to hair colouring

You'll need red to counter the green tinge, so you can choose a brown with red in it to put over the top (though without stripping this could make your hair go darker than desired) or you can use a temporary red to simply put some rich red warmth throughout the brown, without actually turning it red.

Can I warm up a deep brown but still keep it cool?

I want to stay cool but right now it's got a slight green/gray tinge....

Don't want to demi, don't want to strip.

Just want to warm it past the oh-so-subtle-but-still-definitely-there green stage.
