How to Remove Blue and Green Haircolor

THIS VIDEO IS FOR PROFESSIONAL STYLISTS ONLY.
If you are a client, you are more than welcome to share this video with your stylist for inspiration. However, if you are asking for advice as a consumer, I will ask you to see a professional first. I do not recommend this for "box color" or at home hair color.
I often get asked how to remove direct dyes from the hair (for example Kenra Creative Blue or Teal). While lighteners are great to lift out color and direct dye lifters can do most of the job, sometimes you are still left with a much lighter version of a blue or teal. SO…. how do you tone that out?
Have you ever heard of “browning out” the color? It’s when you take the complimentary color you are trying to remove and brown it out to make a neutral shade. Let me show you.

Once my green is minty i dye it with a golden/red or orange hair dye and that does the job. Or light pink/ peachy color mixed with conditioner

My Mom has minty green and wants to go ash blonde. Should I get her a golden blonde to get close to this? I don't want to destroy her hair hahaha but if I tone it I might accidentally dye it red hahaha

[@myoldasskitchen2467]

This DOES work! My hair was bleached then had a years worth of the darker blue same color as her swatch! The beauty supply was out of kenra 5C ( of course they are out of everything anymore!) So I got wella shinefinity 05/43 ..BTW LOVE this stuff! Zero damage! It has light brown red/gold base = orange. It covered the blue beautifully! I just applied all over on dry hair processed 30 minutes. I did a balayage all over using bleach and olaplex. I got a nice caramel color no toning needed I just used a purple shampoo. I'm shocked I didn't have to spend days to get the blue out first! Note! Everything is going to depend on whether or not you have an orange base! So make sure its demi/semi NOT permanent and it has a base thats the opposite on the color wheel

No, the shampoo will not take care of the problem permanently. I would go see a professional if you want to permanently change it from direct dye. You are more than welcome to share this video with your stylist for inspiration. However, if you are asking for advice as a consumer, I will ask you to see a professional first. I do not recommend this for "box color" or at home hair color. I would recommend Kenra Professional Revive system after bleaching your hair and maybe some Olaplex treatments ;)

[@PatsAg22]

Thank you so much for this video! First one who actually makes sense and from a professional 😭. I jst got confused with the demis, you said you used Copper for Blue and Red for Tilt but in the instagram video you paired and seemed to apply them the other way around: Red on Blue and Copper on Tilt, I loved the blue “neutralized” as it was for my new colour but I’m at a green/tilt right now. By the explanation I’ll try the red demi but my question is: can I keep my hair just with the demi, without lightning it? I imagine I will have to reapply from time to time? Again tysm and congrats on that beautiful life you are carrying inside your belly 😍

[@MirellaManelli]

PatyDbn thank you so much for your comment and kind words. It’s been quite awhile since I’ve been on here and I’m sure you have had your questions answered. But just in case... lol. Yes you always use the color opposite of the color wheel. I know I made a mistake on one of the images but you get the idea. Sorry for the confusion. So can you keep it with Demi? Yes, so long as you want to stay dark. I would still Brown our first and then do a second application of brown over the browned out color.

Use a pink colour over the faded blue green it will turn ur hair lilac an silver with a hint of pink which is easier to fade jus by normal washing an u will need up going back to it pre lightened hair

[@MsPINKHEADPHONE]

Does the browning out method need to be done with a demi permanent hair dye? Or will it still work with semi permanent dye? I know that a demi permanent makes the hair darker but I only use products that are animal cruelty free and the only hair dye that I can use is a cruelty free SEMI one.

[@MirellaManelli]

MsPINKHEADPHONE yes. So long it is the complimentary color and level of darkness of the color you are trying to brown out.

[@sydneykate4077]

I'm really stuck right now because there is NO WAY I am dying my hair brown. It took me two yeas to get my hair to the blonde it is today and I just tried a bleach treatment to get the blue out and now its really faint and pastel. I had also done 3 baking soda with shampoo treatments before that. I really don't know what to do at this point because I want to stay blonde but don't want the blue at the end of my hair anymore.

[@MirellaManelli]

Thank you for your comment. First and foremost, go see a professional stylist and devise a hair plan. It's really tough to give a proper consultation without seeing the hair in person. From what it sounds like, you maybe able to apply a pastel copper over the pastel blue. This would hopefully neutralize it, but again, I cannot see your hair so it's hard to say. Once the hair is "browned out" you could probably do a bleach wash only if the hair is in good condition. I hope this helps!

[@gloomibearz]

Sydney Kate I would recommend leaving it! Pastel blues can't be that bad?!

[@Adventures_with_Angelina_C]

Sydney Kate is ur hair a mint green now???? cause if it is then now you should wash your hair with red shampoo and that will bring your blonde back, dont let the red sit keep ur hands moving cause you dont want to stain your hair red, scrub your hair for a few seconds then rise it out, keep doing this till the green is gone

[@sydneykate4077]

Right now I have silver blue hair and I'm over it and I just did it LOL I'm just curious if the Browning it out will work and what color to do it with also once I dye my hair brown does that mean that I can start doing on braids in a few weeks or highlights to get me back to blonde

[@evelyncompton7089]

That is amazing knowledge, and quite genius! 🥰

[@briannaclement4142]

so basically put a demi permanent color on top of the blue (which opp would be orange?) and then bleach it to get it to the lightness you want for next color? chlorine faded certain parts of my hair with a green tinge tho.. also! when i first dyed it, it wasnt lightened or maybe toned enough because one area of my tips was more green tinge

[@shalynburton5649]

So use a red or orange demi then use something that lifts ?

[@megan2956]

my hair was blue (accidental was meant to be purple-used crazy colour hot purple.. by a hairdresser.. never again!) after washing my hair many times its now kinda fading to an emerald green.. if i want to go back to purple would colour correcting to brown and lifting/bleaching the brown actually work on the faded hair or is this more for when the hair is more freshly dyed? i never wanted blue or green hair :'(

[@MirellaManelli]

Megan Elliott Thank you for your comment. If you want to go back to purple/violet, you should be able to apply the violet shade right over the green. One of my favorite color combos is mixing teal with violet to make a smoky plum. (Blue violet). Depending on the darkness of the green you have, you may need to go in and lighten again just to get a clean, lighter pallet to work with. Then apply your violet shade. Depending on the brand you use (I can speak for Kenra) violet and green work really well together. The example in the video is when you want to remove blue or green and leave with a natural shade. Not dye it a fun color again. Hope this helps!

[@megan2956]

Omg I can't believe you actually got back to me! Thank you so much! After washing it several times with bi-carb soda and anti dandruff shampoo it's faded to a very light emerald/jade/almost minty colour. I'm assuming that if i were to fade it more and apply a blue base purple it should turn out okay? I just prefer red based purples as they tend to fade a lot nicer! :)

[@MirellaManelli]

Megan Elliott anytime! I think if your hair is a mint shade (sounds light) and you want something favoring a violet red, I would use violet and magenta. Applying that over the light green should be ok without further compromising the hair. If you apply blue/violet it will favor the blue that you don't want.

[@veronicturgeon3233]

What if I just dye purple on top of my blue then let it fade, after that use a orange and yellow mixture would it end up neutralizing( I'm a natural Ginger so the end goal would be a copper orange colour)

[@XXwhoknowsXX81]

[@101kikififi]

Do you need to lighten it after? Or would you be able to deposit a brown

[@justwantaplaylist1]

soooo.. my hair is really splotchy.. my roots are silver and ca 6cm long, the middle part is like a yellowish green crown around my head and the ends are kinda silverish purple with light blue highlights but its all super faded and pastel looking.. Since I had verry faded purple hair I told the hairdresser retouching my roots that she should avoid the purple as much as possible or it will turn green... buuut she did anyways and now my hair is messed up. I thought I could fix it. i toned my yellow roots and then applied Maria Nila Color refresh in Black mixed with a hair mask to dye my hair a dark silver all over... the roots are perfect andthe ends are fine with me also but the yellowish green shines through. what would you suggest? I tried toning with a diluted red color from directions but that makes the green just very muddy and kinda burgundy looking thank you greetings from germany

[@MirellaManelli]

justwantaplaylist1 sorry for the super late reply. I was busy being pregnant and having a baby! I’m sure your hair has been fixed by now, but I wanted to reply for future reference. If the hair is yellow/green I would recommend using a violet/red toner to correct it. And yes, adding red over green will make it muddy because that’s what it’s supposed to do. Brown it out. Therefore if you don’t want to lighten again then toning with the violet/red would be a great option.

[@harleaarmstrong7659]

It would be... easier to understand, for me, to actually see the steps in effect as you explain. On the hair. I have some light blue in my hair that I want to get rid of. Show more of the hair going through each step, as well as the befores and afters of each one rather than just filming yourself talking because it was really hard to actually pay attention to anything in the video.

Subscribed. Hope I'm not too late and maybe you can help me. A month ago, I dyed my hair with a semi permanent black hair dye that had blue undertones. My natural hair color is a medium golden brown. In the sunlight, it has a dark green tint and my roots are coming in. It's not like a lime or neon green. Like a dark dark black forest green. I'm trying to go back to my natural hair color or something close to it. Can I just go over it with a neutral medium brown or do I need to dye it a medium reddish brown? I'm using clarifying shampoo and dish soap to fade it out. I also have red shampoo I had left over when my hair used to be red. Will that help?

[@101kikififi]

And also the only color I can find is permanent. Does that work ?

I have lots of hair & long & paying 350$+ USD it’s a lot !!!! I really want a dark brown. If I slap it on will it work or should I lighten it first?

[@sannekoot7182]

I dyed my hair dark blue with a wash out semi-permanente color about 2 months ago and wanted to go back to a natural color. Two days ago I went to the salon and had two bleachbaths wich left my hair bright green. We then dyed my hair with a 3 on the roots and a 5 on the lengts with lots of red in it and after that you could still see the green in the lengths. So we did another dye with pure red on the lengths and it was so nice like a burgundy color. I did wash it for the first time today and I already see a green hue coming trough. I hate it I just want to get rid of the green. Any tips? Im not a hairdresser so I dont now if explained everything that well. Also my English is not that good Im sorry.

[@MirellaManelli]

Sanne Koot it’s honestly too difficult for me to give you proper advice without seeing your hair in person. I personally would have followed the steps in the video first but without bleaching your hair. Brown out and then color over it with a final shade. Maybe use this video as a source for your stylist. Good luck with your hair journey 💜

[@nildaalicea6511]

Sanne Koot I’m a cosmetologist and you don’t have to lighten your hair all you have to do is look at the color wheel red-orange counteracts the blue green so I would get color brilliance brights in Blood orange and put a little of that color in conditioner mix it and put it all over like basically using it as a toner ..

[@lisalida6233]

@@nildaalicea6511 thx! Pretty much my problem too

[@Jamiesaurus_Art]

I have had this problem in the past and the only thing that helped me officially get the pigment out for good was high lift color, which cosmetologists will definitely not recommend for to the ammonia, but loreal high lift blonde (shade 12 b/v) has gotten my hair stark white from blue green with some dryness but no more than bleach baths would do. It didn't snap off or turn to spaghetti, I tried it years ago and have used that same trick several times since. So a test stand of you ever want to try this method, and know this is just to remove the blue and green, you'll still want something to due it after to re-color the hair, even if it's just a toner, the high lift will leave you a little brassy otherwise.

[@janaEXTREME]

So before I try this method I figured I would comment in the hopes that you’d see it and reply. Currently I have dark brown roots, purplish is next then into a lightish blue/teal lol yes I know my hair is a hot mess...I’d like to go red or pink. Would this method work for getting rid of my purple/blue/teal, then I could bleach my roots and work from there to get the red or pink? Thanks!!

[@MirellaManelli]

janaEXTREME sorry for the super late reply. I was busy having a baby 😅 Usually if you are replacing one creative color with another, then you can use something to lightly buff out the color like Malibu DDL and then apply your desired shades. The scenario that is in the video is if you want to have natural colored hair after direct dyes

[@flo5925]

My hair is bright green and teal-ish in the ends right now, I've actually just dyed it this color two days ago but I really don't like it.. I used Arctic Fox semi permanent in Poseidon and Phantom Green. Also added some Crazy Color Natural Black (brown undertone). I'm going to my hairdressers in a month to see what we can do. Should I just shampoo (anti-dandruff?) it more often now and wash with warm water to have it fade as much as I can until then? My hair underneath is an almost-white bleached blond. I have no idea if it's going to fade to green or blue but should I try to bleach it out next month to see if I can go blond again (a darker, ash-blond would be fine with me) or should I just try to use complimentary colors to make it a brown? Both are fine with me, but I just don't want to go through the trouble of bleaching if it's not worth it..

[@MirellaManelli]

Jjamongie sounds like you have a lot going on. I'm not familiar with the color line that you are using. I would definitely suggest going to a stylist and bring the products that you used on your hair so they fully understand what's in your hair now.

Hey there😄 I recently dyed my hair back to its natural color (dark brown) and at first it turned dark brown but after a while it began to fade to a brown with a murky green undertone. It wasn't noticeable from pictures but up close in day light/artificial light you could tell. About 2 days ago I decided to add the same color to "get rid" of the green. Do you believe this is right??? Or do I have to add a reddish shade to balance it out. I asked my mom about it and she said that another hit of the same color would do but I think I should add a bit of red. Any opinion??? Thank you 😊 (the dye I used was garnier nutrisse permanent hair color #30 darkest brown).

[@MirellaManelli]

Ashley & Sashely I would suggest maybe applying a brown red? That would eliminate the green tone. If you apply brown over the green, your hair will fade again and you will be left with the same shade you have now. Hope this helps!

Hello ! I have a huge problem, about a month ago I dyed my bleached hair a turquoise semi permanente color which I did not like. I have faded it to a point where it is super light but has a slight lime green tint to it they I don't like, and shows up baby blue in pictures. My hair is damaged and I don't want to bleach again. but I want my blonde hair back and here in France everyone has been really rude when I ask. is there anything I can do? HELP

[@MirellaManelli]

You can always try a baby pink shampoo to neutralize. Just think of the opposite color of what you have. If it's baby blue, you need light orange, if it's light teal, you need light pink. You could also try coloring over it with a demi permanent shade slightly darker than what you have if you dont want to bleach. Hope this helps.

[@angiecouture]

Thank you so much for answering! I dyed dark blonde over and it still looks a little green, after, I tried the ketchup method and it seemed to work a little bit.

[@MirellaManelli]

mimi // it is too difficult to give advice without seeing your hair in person. My guess is that if your hair was colored green/teal then I would say that you would need to brown out and lighten to get to a level 9/10 I order to achieve a gray shade.

[@justpassingby_600]

Hi! Thank you so much for the insight video! I tried your method and it worked to get the green out, which I’m really happy about! :D I do have a question though. I used a red dye (Demi permanent) over teal color and it came out reddish brown/black However, one small selection of the hair (on the right side of the head) came out looking very black with a tint of green/blue undertones peaking through. Once the red dye fades, will it go back to green/teal or will the hair fade to a brighter brown? Also, will that green undertone peaking through fade with shampoo washes? Or do I need a specific shampoo for that? My goal is to eventually dye the hair back to a medium brown, but with the unevenness of the hair (and the fact I bleached the hair prior to the teal/green color) I know I should wait a while before applying anymore dyes and especially bleach. I want to stay away from bleach and fix the green undertones on that selection of the hair. I would really appreciate some advice! I could handle the reddish brown/black right now but the unevenness of color on the right side of the hair is driving me nuts!

[@MirellaManelli]

justpassingby_ hi! This method works best if you are going to put Lightener over the brown out formula. However, in your case, I would brown out first (red dye), shampoo/dry, and then apply your final brown shade right over it. I would use Demi formula in all scenarios. Hope this helps!

Hi!I have really dark midnight blue hair with a dark green-teal tint,how can I go back to a golden blonde shade?Because I want to dye my hair rose gold.Do I have to first dye my hair a darker shade of copper and then bleach it?

[@MirellaManelli]

In order to do all that, you must first understand that it may take a few sessions to get you there. But yes, you will need to color the hair with a red/copper shade in demi permanent at the level of blue/copper you are working with. Then go in with lightener. If you think your hair cannot handle that, then devise a plan B. As always, I will strongly recommend you see a professional color correction specialist to take a look at your hair.

[@jessicahughes4414]

I tried mixing arctic fox’s Transylvania (blue/black) and Sterling and instead of being a dark grey, it turned to a grey denim looking color. I have purple toner, which I don’t think will take out the blue tone. I also have arctic fox’s orange dye and yellow dye. If I mix a little orange with conditioner, would it neutralize the blue and leave me with a grey tone, or would it turn brown? I was really upset when it came out blue and I don’t want to go out an buy more dye just yet. Would this work? Heeeeelp! *I have to have a natural color for work so grey was okay, blue denim grey color is not*

[@tiramisumochi4787]

I dont think that would work as the dark blue is a really strong colour and the main base colour, it would work if it was very faded to pale blue. I hope you managed to get it sorted out! I'm currently going through the slow process of removing arctic fox denim colour too so i feel your pain lol

[@MirellaManelli]

I think where you went wrong is applying the brown first. Sounds like to me it's not going to take any more color if red is not working. I would try a test strand using lightener then apply the red. Seek out a professional to look at your hair. This sounds like color correction at this point. Good Luck. - M

Alicia Urbina First and foremost, go see a professional stylist and devise a hair plan. It's really tough to give a proper consultation without seeing the hair in person. There is no right answer when trying to remove blue and teal let alone black. That's the toughest color to remove to turn blonde. In general, you will need to use lightener (probably several times in different services), treatments, and toning to achieve a healthy shade of blonde.

Hi, What about red? I've tried the semi permanent clear hoping it would be the best without damaging but it lightened to a pinky/peachy color then I used a color remover from joico and that just lightened it up more. Please help I'm not loving this color 😩

[@MirellaManelli]

I would recommend something green based for any red formula that you 100% want to remove or brown out from the hair. If the hair is really pastel, then try a very pigmented ash to cancel it out. It is really difficult to give a strong suggestion without seeing the hair in person. I would recommend seeing a professional stylist to assess your hair needs.

I just stripped the top of my hair with a bleach bath. It's blonde at the root and very light green at the tips, going to put magenta over it and once that fades, gunna use red brown dye to go back to a more natural look.

[@michellecast8382]

And how about if i want t go from red to blue again ?? I have to bleach it really bright to go back again to blue ? Or i can get away with some parts been red ? I current haw blue greenish hair and i want to go like a red berry but idk if i hae to bleach it all the way o blonde before putting it on, and if i dont like it i would go back to blue but idk if that is possible lol

[@MirellaManelli]

I would address this a completely different way if you are wanting to simply change from one direct dye to the other. Malibu DDL works great for that. malibuc.com/shop/rebelfemme

Yea I finna just buy a black box dye

[@sophierybalov388]

on the video, before you applied lightner to the pieces on the left, which was was browned out with copper and which with red... was left copper and right red?

[@MirellaManelli]

Sophie Rybalov Thank you for your comment. Yes. The left was copper over blue and the right was red over teal. Like I mentioned in the video, I think I could have totally added in some copper to the teal as well since teal is a combo of blue and green. But nonetheless, the teal was still easy to remove after browning out the color. For a more sped up version of this, you can view it on my Instagram instagram.com/p/BJpH532AHol/ Hope this helps!

[@sophierybalov388]

thanks for the response. i have like an in between blue/green right now and wanted to use the joico color eraser to remove the color. but now i am considering browning it out? however, at the end of all this i would be doing a highlift of 9NA with 40 vol (which i was originally going to do but then i dyed my hair blue to support a friend- urg).... so that would go on my virgin hair and on the browned out hair, or my virgin hair and the color removed hair, if that makes sense... do you have any recommendations on which you would do if this was you? either brown out or color remove before the high lift?

[@MirellaManelli]

Sophie Rybalov I would remove your blue green first, then after you apply your Lightener to the browned out hair, you can use your highlift on the virgin hair and a demi similar to the light reflection of the highlift on the ends. That way you are not over compromising the hair that was blue with more ammonia. Good luck !

[@sophierybalov388]

thanks for the response! so you think i should brown it out rather than color remove it?

[@MirellaManelli]

Sophie Rybalov depends on how light it is. If it's still pretty saturated I would brown it out. If it's pretty light, I would try a Lightener right over it. It's too difficult to say over the net what would be the best choice. I always recommend seeing a professional in person to get a proper consultation.

[@444alexcia9]

My hair is the color of my profile pic rn, how would I go brown?

[@MirellaManelli]

I personally would follow the steps in the video. Your hair is pretty blue/teal just like the swatches shown in my vlog. You are more than welcome to share this video with your stylist for inspiration. However, if you are asking for advice as a consumer, I will ask you to see a professional first. I do not recommend this for "box color" or at home hair color.

[@elizabethgoodman5373]

So the 6R toner doesn’t turn the hair red?

[@MirellaManelli]

not fully over blue.

[@yes_man9071]

what about removing silver. I have a chroma silk solver so its stone grey.

[@MirellaManelli]

Silver should fade out pretty nicely on its own. You could always speed up the process with a clarifying shampoo.

[@hannapajanen4363]

Wish you had showed the "browned" swatches in this video

[@MirellaManelli]

Right before the application of the lightener you can see the browned out swatch

I had kinda ombré hair before I decided to dye them dark blue. I went to get it done at the salon and let me tell you something.... it was the worst idea ever. It was a hair stain and it stained my whole apartment my whole shower and tub I had to scrub it for over 2h to try to get it out now I been trying to remove it with joico color intensity eraser did it 3x already. Now my hair is all min green blue and yellow it looks awful plus my roots are showing half of my head and that makes it even more worst I look like an idiot but have to do it to get it out otherwise I would have to get my hair done dark dark brown or black.

Is it possible to go from blue/teal to a red?

[@MirellaManelli]

yes, but you can skip the browned out protion

[@brookerichey486]

This is such a good video - but my god the music is so distracting. You don’t need it. It sounds like a kids show. If your kid chose it for you that’s awesome, great job mom - if that’s not the case, though 😅 It’s just.. the complete wrong choice for the awesome content of your video!

[@annabell5399]

Hello, I got blonde highlights three months ago and then I let the Maria Nilas hair mask/ non permanent dye in Cacao Intense sit on my dry Hair for 45 minutes. my brown hair is washed out normally, but the blond highlights are now light blue and don't want to wash out. what can I do? Do I have to use a bright orange none permanent dye or just wait for it to go out? I have washed my hair so often and the blue sometimes becomes more intense, sometimes lighter. Thanks for your help. 🫶🏼

[@annabell5399]

I meant semi permanent 😂*
