Help getting back to auburn from blue (pregnant, so avoiding bleach!)!

Can you post a picture of your current hair colour?
Might be possible to dye over it with a veggie dye, Adore do a lot of natural shades.

I've also got green hair as I'm trying to fade out Directions blue dye  🙂  really sticks doesn't it?!

Just as a side note you should be fine with bleach even though pregnant, I'm due in August too and I was told that bleaching is ok after the first 12 weeks and as long as you keep the area well ventilated.

I know a forum member once covered pretty saturated green with one of the adore natural red brown shades and it came out fine, I can't link just now as I'm on my phone but you can probably find the thread in the 'natural hair colours' section 🙂

Auburn is reddy-brown, red cancels out green.  You should be able to plop an auburn dye over the top and have it turn out fine.  If you wanted a golden or an ash brown, you'd have a problem, but not a red brown.

OK, so it's still a bit wet, but this is the best approximation of the colour I can get right now...one shows the colour better, the other shows the length more in case that makes a difference! The too and ends are fairly day, the middle part always takes forever so I guess that's why it's looking a little darker than normal at the mo!

I'm also adding a photo of my natural colour in case that helps at all!

Update! I've got it a bit lighter!!!! After 2 bottles of Decolour I'm now here and thinking (hoping) that the colour I want can go over the top!

What dye are you planning on using? I feel like you should be able to get a red brown over what you already have if you're using a good dye.

This is the thread I was talking about, as you can see it's really possible to get red brown over green hair 🙂

Wow, that thread's results are amazing! And started off greener than mine! Hope! Thanks for the link!

What dye to use... Normally to get back to normal I use Superdrug's Rich Copper Gold (it comes out a little darker on me than on the box and somehow manages to blend when my hair grows, it's my magic go to), but I'm thinking it might be a little light to go over this well.

I might try an adore one, but I've got to have an ingredients search first (I read somewhere they smell coconutty, which I'm annoyingly allergic to!)... Any advice?
