@SunShinesBrightly

I should have said green tinge/tint - I know it doesn’t look full on green! 🤣 It’s interesting that some people have commented that there is something ‘off’ about it! It’s hard to explain what.
I can always see base colours in things (like paint) but many can't.

You have good hair. Just needs a tweak.

If I wasn't looking for the green I would have said no.
I can see a very slight tint but I'm not sure if that's more suggestion than fact

HippeePrincess · 24/11/2021 14:21

Yes is has a green tone to it

PleaseReferToMeAsBritneySpears · 24/11/2021 14:22

I accidentally dyed my hair green in lockdown and it looked a lot like this. Tomato ketchup fixed it.

Iamnotamermaid · 24/11/2021 14:24

Definitely a green tinge there...more like a moss green

ChipButtyCurrySauce · 24/11/2021 14:25

I can see a green tinge.

girlmom21 · 24/11/2021 14:28

I can see a green tinge too

GraceKelly259 · 24/11/2021 14:28

No, looks dark blond not green

gwenneh · 24/11/2021 14:29

It looks blonde, but photographed under either a fluorescent light, or LED light -- both of which will throw a green cast onto anything.

idontlikealdi · 24/11/2021 14:36

Wash it in ketchup

FestiveMayo · 24/11/2021 14:38

It doesn't look quite right but I don't know if it's green

xprincessxjanetx · 24/11/2021 14:43

It doesn't look green to me

Thatsplentyjack · 24/11/2021 14:45

Slightly. Have you, or whoever has that is tried Purple shampoo?

LockerShop · 24/11/2021 14:46

Also can see khaki and think you need a toner

wertheppl · 24/11/2021 14:49

I don't see green

Luckyonetwo · 24/11/2021 14:53

I can see the green tinge too.

No. Looks like a medium ash blonde. Looks fine to me.
TheRealHousewife · 24/11/2021 14:58

I see exactly what you mean @SunShinesBrightly. It’s got a hue of sludgy green! Needs a toner. Have you done it yourself or a salon. If salon I’d ask them about it.

CrimbleCrumble1 · 24/11/2021 15:03

Definitely looks a bit hazel to me.

Phlump · 24/11/2021 15:05

@HoseMeDownWithHolyWater

It's not a nice colour either way.
🙄 that wasn't the question

This. ^ OP has mentioned it and people are now seeing a tinge of green. If she had just said 'does anyone see any colour in my hair, other than the mid blonde it's meant to be' no-one would have mentioned green.

When you do a reverse image search on google. 100s of photos come up (of hair styles and colours etc,) and not ONE comes up of 'green hair.'

This is like the ridiculous 'am I pregnant?' threads we get on here, where the OP posts a picture of a negative pregnancy test, with ONE line on it only, (saying it's negative,) and half the posters say 'oooh I see 2 lines, congratulations OP, you're gonna be a mum. Woo hoo!' Grin

As you say, the power of suggestion eh?!

NotMyselfWithoutCoffee · 24/11/2021 15:11

It's hard to say I'd have to see it in person.
It's not really blonde or brown though, more in between.

Bigoldhag · 24/11/2021 15:11

Another (former) hairdresser too, looks like you went from blonde to brown without someone chucking a warm prepigment on prior to colouring to balance out the green. If that’s the case, clarifying shampoos will not help!

AdobeWanKenobi · 24/11/2021 15:13

Honestly? Every person on here is viewing on a different monitor/phone. It's going to look completely different to every single one of us. There is no straight answer to your question.

If you're not happy with the colour then go back and see whoever did it.

RestingMurderousFace · 24/11/2021 15:15

Looks a bit on the khaki side to be honest, needs some warmth.
