I was wondering if any one could help with a certain problem. Ok last week I put in chunky highlights that turned out to be a little brassy, so I dyed it a medium golden brown and this turned my hair a pretty brown but I still wanted highlights so, I tried again only there was some massively orage areas...Once again I dyed it the esspesso color from loreal and it turned my hair like super dark almost black but it some areas where my hair was damaged its like green/black...My question is does any one know how to get the green out? I thought of just washing my hair with head and shoulders since that takes alot of the dye out and also using a shampoo for blonds....Any help would be MUCH appreciated...im also goint to a wedding in like 2 days so if any one could offer at home solutions i would love you very much!!!

Providing you don't want to go to a salon to get it fixed for good....There is a red shampoo you can buy at the beauty supply shops called Complements. You want to use red to counter the green, doing this should turn the green parts a shade of brown. I would buy the more orange shade of red for maximum green countering, and if you don't want redder hair than you have now, wash your hair with your normal shampoo and conditioner, let it dry, then afterwards wash only the green chunks of hair with the red shampoo. You will need 2 or 3 washes with it to notice a difference, try to let it sit on your hair for 10 minutes before rinsing it out, and don't condition those pieces afterwards (to keep the maximum amount of pigment on your hair). It doesn't dye your hair, just deposits pigment on it, so after you wash once or twice with normal shampoo, the red will disappear. To keep even more red on the green pieces, just wash them with only the red shampoo and never the normal shampoo.
Sounds like a pain huh? I used to have to do it when I had green hair. You will probably get sick of the time it takes and want to go to a salon to get it fixed permanently.
Good luck,
