HELP! Hair has green tinge!

4 replies

Ispatienceavirtue · 12/11/2018 16:13

I am probably a naturally mousey brown hair colour ( I've dyed my hair for so long I'm not entirely sure what my actual hair colour is!! ) with a sprinkling of grey. This summer I went light ash blonde , I chose ash as I had been red previously and read that ash would neutralise the ginger/brassy tone that had been left.
Last night I decided to go a shade darker to medium ash blonde but when I rinsed it out I had grey/green sludge colour highlights and matching fringe!! Quickly googled and discovered a ketchup hair mask that should neutralise the green colour. Slapped ketchup on this morning, left it for half an hour then washed my hair and the ketchup had certainly took the worst of the green out. But what do I do now? I cannot afford a hairdresser and I don't want to use ketchup every couple of days! Can anyone help with what sort of colour I should put on to neutralise the green without adding brassy tones or going too dark?
Thank you!!

I would re ketchup today and see if that helps.

I think I'd go for something like a cool dark blonde. That's probably darker than you want to end up with, but just as an interim measure because I don't think you can take the risk of it being wrong again. Your poor hair must be feeling a bit frazzled.

Purple shampoo?

Been there, ketchup was great but bizzare. I found I only had to use it a few times
