Hi all just after a bit of advice .I coloured the girl I work withs hair last Friday .she is a base level 4 so I bleached it up with 9% then used the purple crazy colour over the top (as the instructions told u to) it came out a lovely purple but after she washed it Monday it went blue then she washed it again Thursday and it has gone green on the ends and still purple on the roots & Mid lengths.does anyone gave any idea why it's gone green ?
t.i.a

I've also had the same problem with purple tones in crazy colour as well as some of their blue tones. Did you go quite a dark purple?
 
The last thing I had in my hair was purple crazy colour and it was washing out bluey/greeny and I've put a brown on top of it & it keeps going green as well xx
 
Im affraid all crazy color purples fade to green.

Then we made it to this but the green is stubborn. How would you cover it? ImageUploadedBySalonGeek1396069313.844585.jpg
 
When I was lilac the same happened to me, it always faded green. I started to add pinkissimo into my purple so it was a warmer pinkier colour, this seemed to calm the green down x
 
Mines currently heading down the green route

I used crazy colour first then Wella colour touch! And both have faded out greeny looking! Gonna try directions next time!

Why use this range of colors ? I have used Fudge paintbox for a few years now and they are amazing, and they last ages on the hair and all are fully intermixable with one another..

I'm allergic to paintbox and I know a few others that are too. :-(

Directions purple is good.

I've used directions on one of my clients and it faded green just to warn you emma x
 
You all need to jump onto the Elumen bandwagon!

No skin test required for those mentioning sensitivity above, it's amazing and doesn't fade green.

They are like paints, you mix then you paint them onto white paper to see how your shade will turn out. There a violet but you can add blue or pink to it, or add little drops of colour into blondes to make lilac, peach, baby pink or any other pastel shade.
 
Thanks all i'm going to try and colour it back dark next week some time. Have tried a few different purples over past year and not even a permanent purple takes on her hair it's very resistant. I'm giving up on it now and she is to she is just destination to have dark hair

How long are you leaving the bleach on for? What brand? I know you use 9%, is this as a full head? How many times has it been bleached?
 
Na its not because of lack of toner in this case, its the undertones in crazy colour, theyre well known for going odd colours after fading. You need to get hold of some pravana purple, its very true to tone and after a few applications it doesnt come out. I know because i have it on my ends and its not budging :/ What you can do though is only lift to an orange, this means the purple has more pigment to cling on to so lasts longer and it also counteracts the green tones.
 
I used to dye my hair red with crazy colour and it always washed out to a peachy colour very quick. I've used directions ever since and it's so faithful!
 
This green keeps happening to me I used to have colour touch 5/66 with crazy colour hot purple over the top, now I want to get rid of it , turns green I'm dark at the moment and its fine for one shampoo then the green shines through I'm working on getting my hair as healthy as possible as I want to go blonde I just wish this green would go
 
I used hot purple on my friend (prelightened slices ) for a while kept going green in the end I used water and bleach to get it light and even it still was pale green i covered it with crazy colour fire she's been red ever since with no signs of green ! Reds easier to cover when she does decide to get rid I'm hoping ha x
 
I know some of those types of colours have a green base and that's why they turn green unfortunately. Even if you don't expect it, it can still happen.
 
I think when I do change I will want to go blonde , I did some strand tests yesterday and prelightening with 6% I used the blondme strawberry toner and that helped counteract the left over green tinge
