Help getting Teal out

I'm not sure about the colour remover as I've not used those brands of dye before, but I suggest you strand test the bleach bath and see what it does - I've had success with really weak bleach baths before but it doesn't mean that everyone would. Also I would recommend a strand test as bleaching can throw up unexpected tones - you may end up with something you like even less than the teal and be stuck with that over Thanksgiving!

I've not used it, but ion blue is notorious for being permanent. I think the main problem you've had is using a super strong and sticky blue with a not very good yellow. Not that there's many yellows that are super strong. Direction fluorescent glow yellow is an excepting though. Directions spring green has a base of flo glow and it always fades yellow. The blue disappears before the yellow. So, that might be a route for you back to green if you can't get out the ion blue.

Don't bleachbath, it doesn't touch ion blue and many suspect it makes it worse. You could try the bleach powder/shampoo/oils method that is in the tutorial section. Some people have had success with sticky blues with that. I have my problems with it, as you'll see if you read the thread, but I'm not going to turn you off the method, just want you to know the potential issues 🙂

I won't bother with color oops then.

I think I'll do two strand tests: one bleach bath and one with the oil/shampoo/powder method (however you call it)

You can try a bleach bath strand, but it's really unlikely to do anything. I'm open to being wrong, but there's been a lot of people here saying it hasn't touched it at all.

Yeah I wasn't aware of the history of this brand of colour when I advised a strand test, I just meant don't bleach bath without a strand test as sometimes it can make situations like this worse and just contributes to damage needlessly.

If you're talking to me, it's ok, I know 😀

I'm not holding my breath for a bleach bath, but I have to find out for myself it it doesn't work lol.

So you were right and the bleach bath was useless. The powder/water method worked pretty well, though so I think I'll give it a shot on my whole head!

However, I'm not too sure about my outgrowth now. It's about that time where I would bleach them, so would anyone have any ideas on how to handle my length and outgrowth? Do the outgrowth first, wash, then my roots? Try to do them at the same time?

Tricky.

I'd do it the other way around so you know what you have to deal with when doing your roots. That will mean leaving it a few days before doing your roots though. You can't bleach, on your roots especially, on freshly washed hair. It's worse for the hair, but also dangerous for your scalp.

So I decided while I was doing my roots that would throw on the water/powder mixture in my ends. I left it on, under a shower cap, for about a half hour and it almost got all the color out! My roots are a platinum blonde while the rest of my hair is a yellow blonde with light green patches/ends. It actually looks kinda cool, just a little too warm in a lot of spots so  i'm just going to tone everything but my roots and leave it as that for the holiday.  In a few weeks I'll see what I can do about what color I can dye it.
