Daughter dyed hair. It's green.?

Question

What do I do if my daughter had gorgeous highlights and lowlights including reds, browns and blonds. She wanted the red out of the low lights. So...We went to a pro and she dyed the whole thing. NOW, what WAS blond in her hair, is green and damaged. Any helpful hints? We are going to a color gal on MOnday.

Answer 1

Take her to a hair salon where they do braids (all those hundreds of braids all over your head), and get them to use some real hair to help cover up the green. Then leave it alone (except for shampooing and conditioning once a week) until the hair has recovered enough to be fixed.

Answer 2

Your daughter needs to have a re constructor treatment on her hair to help with the damage before putting anymore color on her hair. As for the color,the stylist was an idiot and did the wrong thing,which many of them do. It doesn't matter if all the hair has been colored blonde or if there is just some blonde high lights and you are going to color darker, you need to put back the missing red tones. That stylist put brown with a green base right on top of the blonde,of course you are going to get green. The stylist should have used a red filler with the hair color. I don't think your daughter needs to have the color stripped out, plus that would be even more damaging. She just needs the missing red tones to be put in her hair. Good luck

Answer 3

she must have used an ash color. and the green in the ash grabbed on the blondie. Without seeing your daughters hair my best advice is to you is KEEP YOUR appointment on Monday. They will be able to do a better job of advising what should be done. Any advice you might take from me or anyone with out seeing your daughters hair texture, color and any other damage she may currently have could damage it more and that would be more trouble for you then the free advice. Let the pros that can see her hair handle it. Good luck

Answer 4

whoooaaa ...A professional let her leave with green hair? First go back to the salon tommorow and ask for money back. Green is not color correction. I am a colorist and I would never ever let anyone leave with green hair..there is just no reason for it. After getting your money back (only for the color service). Call the colorist that is fixing on Monday and ask for some reconditioning treaments to optimize the condition and porostiy of the hair. She or He will recommend something. DO NOT PUT MORE COLOR ON. It will be a disatster. Good luck .

Answer 5

the only quick experiment ya'll could try at home is stripping her hair of color in order to get the green out but after doing that you will have to re-dye it and with the hair being so hungry for color after stripping, it may grasp the wrong shades. i recommend going to a higher end stylist for fix-ups. ive had many of these and tried to fix on my own at home for a cheaper price, and i just ended up digging a bigger whole for myself. the stylists usually know better. hope everything works out for you. :)

Answer 6

Wait untill I few months, yes MONTHS at least 6, in order to dye it again. If you do it any sooner if it's THAT damaged you'll see hair fall out by the bucket load! In the mean time could you buy her a wig or two?

Answer 7

keep it dyed a darker color until she grows the lighter color out. i had the same problem it so green everyone was calling me the hulk. The blonde is almost grown out too.

Answer 8

Ask the lady who did it for advice. If you try to do it by yourself it might get worse

Answer 9

not much you can do to green except cut it off or add red to it

Answer 10

start striaght from the start. bleach it first, then colour the fav colour, just one, and then seal it with hot oil. ask her not to keep colouring it, because it tends to damage the hair.
