Green on light brown hair?

Hi! My daughter would like to have a green streak in her hair this summer, last year I've managed to gave her a nice purple/burgundy streak using Special Effects Atomic Pink on her natural hair.
Her hair naturally lightens in the summer and become more blondish.

What kind of green should I buy to obtain a good result without bleaching, considering that on her Atomic Pink became purple?

Thanks!  *waves*

You won't get a good result with the majority of greens. Looks like she has a fair bit of red in her hair, green and red make sludge.

You *might* have some luck with a dark green, maybe something like Directions Alpine green. But it will come out very dark with more of a hint of green with the sun on it.

I was also going to suggest a dark green. Maybe something highly pigmented so her reddish base doesn't show through as much, and leave it on for awhile.
