Is it possible to get from purple to green without color remover/bleaching?

Hi guys, me again! I want to go emerald green, but right now i’m at a kind of faded purple and I don’t really want to color remove unless i absolutely have to. I wanted to know if it was possible to go from pic 1, my current color, to pic 2 (desired color) without bleaching or color removing, thank you all sm!

i hate my hair colour

I got my hair done a few weeks ago - I asked for a dark cool ash brown and ended up getting a colour close to black (7th pic), it definitely wasn’t jet black at that point but the point is that it looked the same as before but with a lot of warm red and purple dimension, as she did just highlights on me, and toned it with a purple and green toner, so definitely not what I asked for, because I was looking for a lighter and primarily COOLER colour. Anyways, I got a full refund a few weeks later as the colour washed out to this disgusting red brown purple patchy colour (pics 1-6), which is not disgusting itself but it looks atrocious on me, I just cant figure out why!! My best guess is that it is way too warm for my features, but genuinely I personally think that it washes me out very badly. And it makes me miss my black hair (last 4 pics) which made my eyes look greener! So, I just want to know your opinion and what you think I should do, does this confirm that I am fully cool toned and if so should I get it toned or maybe lightened again and toned to a proper ash colour?

Recommendations on Pink Semi Permanent/Temporary hair dye

Hey hair dye enthusiasts, and more experienced hair colorists! I am looking for some recommendations for my 7 year old daughter! So school just got out for the summer and I promised that she could have Pink Money Pieces (Like HopeScope) during the summer for getting all A’s and B’s for the year…. Well she exceeded her goal and actually got all A’s! and while I was comfortable doing the money pieces, now she is kinda of wanting more pink in her hair. And yes, we made a deal, but she did exceed expectations, so I am willing to let her have more than just money pieces! I was kind of wanting products, inspiration pics, and ideas of doing more like pink highlights that will be out of her hair in about two months. She likes light pink (which I don’t want to bleach her hair, but if there is a just wonderful light pink product where I won’t have to bleach, that would be great) and like the darker pink (like hopescope). I am adding a picture of her actual hair color as is, just to see if this attainable. And honestly I would love to take her to a stylist, but I really don’t have the money for that, unfortunately.

At a loss- how do I get these warm/brassy shades out of my hair?

I went to a salon, and they gave me hot roots by using 20 volume, which lifted my base and now I can’t get this brass out, I’ve tried multiple things- the issue is I can’t find a 5/6 A Demi anywhere.. my plan was to find a blue additive like Wella 0/88, and mix it with 5N. I’ve tried to DIY 3 times now and it’s improved but still not where I want it to be. I don’t want it to look like a flat dark brown I want dimension. Please help.

Hair is a mess…what to do?

Hi all,
I’ve been dyeing my own hair for a while now, trying to achieve a honey blonde color. However, every time it turns out much warmer and more ginger/copper than I want. I don’t completely hate the warm tone, but my goal is definitely a soft honey blonde.
Two weeks ago I dyed it again with olia garnier 8.31, and this time it went quite wrong (first picture). My roots lifted a lot and became much lighter, while my mids stayed noticeably darker. I also have a lot of banding from previous dye jobs — about every 6 cm there’s a different shade/lift level from old grow-out.
When my hair is dry (second picture) it looks a bit less obvious, but I’m worried that once my hair grows out again, the uneven bands will become very noticeable.
The third picture is the color I would ideally like to achieve: a natural-looking honey blonde with warmth, but not orange/ginger.
My questions are:
Is it possible to fix the banding and uneven color?
Would this require bleach/color correction, or could it be toned?
What toner or products would you recommend to achieve a honey blonde instead of a copper/ginger result?
Any advice would be really appreciated!

Orange Hair? PLEASE HELP

I had some orange glow in my hair and you wonderful people told me it was probably gloss buildup/ underlying warmth exposed. I tried clarifying shampoo several times and a couple vitamin c masks and colorfix demi permanent remover hoping it would remove warmth. when that didnt work I tried covering with keracolor and dphuegloss++ (depositing conditioners basically).

I wanted to be done with dye so I decided to chop it off. Sad to sacrifice length. but it’s still orange. I am at my wits end. what happened and what can I do? PLEASE HELP ME!!

What colour would suit me more?

I asked AI to make my hair brown and blonde, I’m naturally a brunette but I’ve always wanted to try blonde but I fear I might have to just stick to being brunette here are both the pictures

What would my hair look like if I used Sun-in to achieve highlights?

Just bought some but I’m a little intimidated by it lol. I don’t want to cover my whole head, just highlights, but I’m not sure how the color would pull with my hair color.

WHAT TO DO?!

So I got some thin money pieces at the front (been growing my natural out for nearly 2 years) and my brain can't seem to accept my natural colour looks better than all over blonde. I don't suit ash blonde but I also don't suit warm either, I have to sit right in the middle if I bleach it, which is really hard to achieve. From a stranger's POV, what do you guys think? Does my natural wash me out/dull me down a bit? or does the bleach look too much and fake?

Help

I impulsively dyed my hair, and the roots are now oranges while the edges are burgundy. I wanna go back to the original color, which was black. How do i fasten the process?

Also, can i somehow darken the roots?

Bleach or tone ?

Idk whether to go for another round of bleach, or try toning it to achieve the colour on the second slide. If bleach is the option I’m going to wait as my hair is very clearly damaged , but just want some advice as I’m clueless about hair dye.

How to change the undertones of my hair without changing the color

Hey, i need some advice regarding whether i could go from my current color (1st pic) to the second color (2nd pic) without damaging my hair too much. I have a lot of red undertones from having dyed my hair red in the past, which i covered up with a darker dye. I want to go back to my natural color (which is pretty much the second picture), and im thinking that if i just make my hair more ashy i would be there. Am i being too optimistic? How would you go about it?

What hair colour suits me best?

I want to dye my hair pink or purple. Rn it’s brown and I haven’t dyed it in a while. I like the lightest one best but I’m not sure if it washes me out.

Which extension color should I go with?

Hi!

I am in the process of getting a set of clip ins, primarily for my wedding in September

I ordered this color (first pic) which seems like a good overall match level wise but they are ashy and darker than my ends (which are grown out highlights)

I reached out and they sent me a picture of another color (second pic) that is a lighter level but more golden. They would match my ends well but not my crown and midshift.

Which should I go with?
