Help my hair is green!

I had my hair dip dyed using 'crazy colour pink kissimo.' colour
lasted around 6 weeks then faded back to a coppery blonde. I'd had it bleached so then used 'crazy colour hot purple' but when this faded its gone like an emerald green. How is best to get it put, someone told me fairy liquid would strip the green out, how long would I have to do this for? Should I just have the colour cut out and start again? Bleach it? I can't afford to go to an hairdresser so would have to be something I could do from home.

Strip and put on ash blonde... Or put a red over to cover the green and work from there

I use the directions purple and blue dyes as i find crazy colour fades quick. But if I want to get the colour out i use head and shoulders or bleach. The head and shoulders strips the colour but not 100%. I have never used washing up liquid but i thought it may fry my hair. want ever you try massaging in canned coconut milk as a deep conditioner after, always works well to recondition my hair after dying or striping colour. Hope this helps

vitamin c tablets. crush them, work them into a bit of shampoo. apply to hair avoiding scalp. cover, and leave as long as you can. repeat as necessary. it 'lifts' the colour, well it worked on me when i had pink ends on my blonde. bicarbonate of soda is meant to do the same though not tried it.

Yes, a whole bottle of tomato ketchup is supposed to get rid of green.
