All there’s left for me to do is hope that when the pink fades, it takes the green with it. YES! The green is gone! My hair has a much warmer tone now, even warmer than my natural hair colour, but last time I used the pink it washed out in two washes. I left it on for 30 minutes and then rinsed it out… I focused on my ends first as those were the most green, but there was still enough left to pretty much cover all of my hair. I squeezed everything that was left in the tube onto my hair. I don’t want pink hair, I just want the green to go away.
I thought that might work and the fact that the pink doesn’t show up on my hair, would actually be perfect. I realised I still had a good amount of product left in my tube of Colorista Washout in Dirty Pink, which I had already tried and didn’t really show up on my hair. Just like you’d use green concealer to neutralise redness on the face. It’s just a tad cooler than it used to be, and there’s still a few bits at the ends that used to be honey blonde, but have a slight green tinge now.Īfter looking for more DIY solutions online, I noticed that the most effective solution for neutralising green hair seems to be to dye over the green using a red-based colour. Post-ketchup, you can barely tell my hair is green anymore. I wanted to go back to my old hair colour, 100%. The difference was much bigger than I ever expected to get from ketchup, but there was still a hint of green in my hair. Surprisingly enough, this actually made a difference: Last week, I tried getting rid of the colour and neutralising green hair with ketchup.
I was left with pretty bright green staining on the lightest, driest parts of my ends, and a faint cool wash over my entire hair. After about 10 washes, when I washed my hair, the water was clear every time so I could tell no colour was coming out any more. I documented the entire fading process of the colour, for the 15 washes that it was supposed to take for the dye to disappear, according to the packaging. I trusted that the dye would fully wash out, as my hair is dark and has never been bleached or chemically treated. My hair turned green.Įven though I really liked the colour, I didn’t actually want green hair forever. A little over two months back, I used l’Oréal Colorista Washout “temporary” hair dye in the colour turquoise.
