Advice: Going from Blonde to Brunette.

Never ever dye your hair brown using box chemicals and such after you've dyed your hair blonde. It will turn out green.
If you want to go brown after blonde, then I suggest going to a salon and getting it done.
Your hair will look alot more professional and blend together better. (:

I found this thread after doing a panicked google search on green hair. i tried to take my bleached blonde hair brown and i now resemble queen ursula from the little mermaid. what can i do? 
I went from bleach blonde straight to dark brown using a box dye and it was a complete success :) I used 2 boxes of Loreal Extreme Excellence Creme colour Natural Dark Brown
Always put a red on before brown then your hair does not go green ,but it will have a chestnut tint on it x
If you have been using blond shades for years over brown, your hair condition won't be as good as it could be so if you use box colours for cheapness you usually end up buying at least one or two more shades to get the colour right over the blonde. And it really takes it out of your hair so save money and effort by going to the hairdresser for the first colour change back. At least it's less expensive in the end and your hair condition will not suffer any where near as much. 
I cant count how many times I have gone Black to Blonde to Brunette to Blonde. In salons and with packet mixes and I have had plenty of disasters.
A note to consider. Use an ash brown. You can successfully dye your hair, at home, from blonde to brunette with any shade of brown labeled as 'ash'. (ex. dark ash brown, medium ash brown, etc) you do NOT have to spend 80+ bucks for color correction at your stylist, especially since most girls who make this mistake are under age 16 and probably cant afford it since they dont have a job. just look at the boxes, use an ash shade, and no worries about green hair.:D
To go from dark brunette to platinum blonde it took me one day....I used manic panic bleach and my hair never broke off....[I have curly hair] Then to go back i just mix a light redish color with a medium brown and now I am light brown. NO GREEN
Took the advice to use L'Oreal excellence dark and it worked for me too in 10 minutes and my hair was bleach blonde, and brassy too! thanks for that x
I went from bleach blonde to brown in one step, using L'Oreal Recital dark brown, with no green.
Wow, there are some really mean people out
You're exactly right! I thought she was just ignorant but what you said makes total sense! Turn your hair green if you're not going to go to her...wow! That's very mean and creepy. I wouldn't want to make her mad in the midst of processing or cutting MY hair! So, for anyone who cannot afford the salon, which many can't & go anyways, or if you simply prefer to do it yourself, personally every time I've ever gotten my son's hair cut in a salon--any salon or barber, it's either ruined or manageable enough for me to 'fix', anyways you can trust everyone else on here that:'ASH'(anything, blondes or browns) definitely turns blonde 'GREEN'!!!
I guess you have know idea what your talking about. I've done it to many different people and just recently did it on my own hair. Ash browns work best when going from blond to brown. However to get the best browns. First dye hair ash brown of your chose then after a week dye it again with nice more golden brown if wanted.
ALWAYS you golden or warm tones...I am a natural blonde...I have dyed my hair plenty of times and anytime i use ash my hair turns gray/purple. I use warm tones and my hair turns out perfect every time. 
If you are going to go from blonde to a darker tone; first buy two boxes of dye; they can be the same color or you can buy one darker and one the color you want; use the darker color or if you bought two of the same; use half of the mix, and the rest water into the bottle; SHAKE WELL! apply this color all over ( this is called a filler ) this will take the blonde and color it but not the color you wish to go; rinse it out; then once you have rinsed it; blowdry your hair and it's time to use the second box; Apply this color like you normally would; the blonde in your hair will not go green or any other color for that matter because now it should be a light brown if that is what your going for; 
Take it from someone who has dyed her hair all shades (blue black to blonde and back to brown) in the span of 13 years and still manage to have fabulous hair - Dye hair RED first, then put whatever brown shade you want. 
First off I am a professional hairdresser for 27yrs- once you strip your hair to a blonde stage you are removing your red pigment from your hair you need to apply red back into the hair straight from the tube- no developer your hair will absorb the color your hair is very porous- leave that on and apply over the red with your choice of brown with 10 vol developer, remember you only want to deposit color not lift hair color.. The red color may be there faintly- but will fade out with shampoos. 
Haha whoever said to dye it was ash brown is very very wrong, I did that with my friend a year or so ago, and it was very greenish blue, my friend that went to hair school said never ever use ash with bleached hair.Subscribe To This Site
