Hey!
A few days ago I went from platinum blonde to brown and blue. I used pravana brown 4 on the top of my hair and pravana neon blue on the bottom for kind of an ombre effect. The problem is it came out a little swampy.
I know that my application wasn't as thorough as it could have been. I know I need another coat & am going to definitely leave the blue in longer this time. I am just looking for any tips to get the best outcome possible and steer away from a swampy green look. I do have pravana ash blue color corrector. Would that help either color? The brown has a slight blue base so I was thinking of trying to maybe add a bit of the corrector but that is something I am a little nervous about doing...
Suggestions & tips welcome (I did this myself so it's a bit sloppy, but it's the color I'm worried about).
Here's a few pics of what it looks like now... Thanks for reading!

What color was your hair before dying?
To get a good blue, you need a base with little to no yellow in it or it will go greenish. You can try re dying but if you have yellow tones, it will always fade greenish.
A picture would help to give better advice.
Also, its called ombre. Hombre is the spanish word for man 🙂

Sorry, they didnt come up on my ipad before. I can see them now though.
Your base i looks light enough. I would try to re-dye or try a different blue. How dark do you want the blue?

If you are after a non pastel blue I would send recommend trying crazy colours peacock blue. I was recommended it by the forum, I'm more dark roots than ombré but it's still blue on brown. It's lasted like crazy too.
