Electric lizard, Apple green, spring green and uv green mix. Green hair help

Okay so I took the plunge from very faded directions turquoise
to a mix of apple green, spring green, uv green and electric lizard mix.
It's only for December, so after that I'm wanting to go back to turquoise again.

My mix has come our very patchy but that's my hair for you! The porosity is very different in areas. So I'll do a coloured conditioner to level it all out. Still very unsure on the colour but hey, it's just for December.

How long does green usually take to fade out? I know it's a stubborn colour hense why I dyed it so early for christmas.

Can turquoise go straight on top or does it need to be faded a lot?
If anyone's got photos that would be great.

Many thanks

I don't find green remotely stubborn to be honest. It's the blue that's stubborn usually and it'll likely fade to turquoise anyway, the yellow tends to fade first.

Phew that's not as bad as I'd thought. It looks yellowy based so I panicked about it fading quickly into a luminous yellow.

Thank you

Well, spring green is flo glow based and that can fade yellow. As it was part of a bigger mix (unless you used a lot of spring green) then I don't think it'll be much of a problem. However, even if it does fade yellow, flo glow and turquoise mixed make a gorgeous paleish but strong turquoise.

Basically, if it fades blue, add yellow. If it fade yellow, add blue. If the fade stays green, add blue with a green base.

Thanks for the help πŸ™‚
It's been so much fun having green hair, it's time to move back to turquoise.
I'm struggling shifting the green from my now outgrown roots which were freshly bleached at the time. So the green obviously stuck well.
The mid lengths to ends are back to a good colour to cover with turquoise but I fear by adding turquoise on now I'd get a strip of about 2 inches all around my hair that's more green?
I'll add a photo of I can.
Any ideas?
