Help for Bad Hair Color
by: Donna in Ct.

Try using a warmer tone of the same color. Your hair sounds like all the warmth had been removed, and to go darker with any success, the warm tones would need to be replaced. Treat only the places that turned greenish, and choose a color that says something like "Warm, Golden". I would go with a semi-permanent color and only work it through the greenish areas, for about 10 minutes. That will give enough deposit of the pigments you need to neutralize the offcast color. Good Luck.
