Green hair color: how to choose a shade and achieve the desired tone?
Not every girl will dare to afford green hair. A flashy, bright, trendy shade attracts the attention of everyone around and evokes a wide range of emotions, from indignation to admiration.
Who is the color for?
Green hair is suitable mainly for those people who themselves have a rather bright appearance and unusual internal contents. The fact is that if a modest and squeezed girl dyes her hair an emerald hue, but continues to be shy and dress in indistinct clothes, then the whole image will look bad despite the existing color type. As for the length, green is suitable for both long-haired girls and those who cut their hair short... By the way, you can use not only complete coloring, but also coloring individual strands or using the ombre technique.
If the original color of the hair belongs to warm shades, then green pigment with a yellow undertone will look best... Blondes should pay attention to pale green colors.
For owners of golden curls, it is better to use light green or emerald dye. On previously ash strands, a mint shade looks great.
In addition, when choosing an unusual paint, one should also focus on the color type of a person. For girls belonging to the spring color type, very light and delicate tones, almost translucent, are suitable. The selected pigment can be light green, light with yellowness, or with an additional white undertone. A brighter solution is to use lime, pea or apple green. Dull tones with hints of red or brown look very bad on "spring" beauties.
Summer ladies are the perfect canvas for blue-green tones with a slight steel sheen. In this case, we are talking about mint, gray-green, aqua or turquoise. Girls will look very beautiful as a full-fledged coloring, as well as coloring individual strands while preserving the natural shade for most of the hair. The fall girl should turn her attention to a swampy palette that combines colors from olive to khaki. In this case, the undertone can turn out to be both red and brown.
Finally, "winter" beauties can turn their attention to a mixture of dirty green and gray. You should focus on a coniferous shade, and if you want to add brightness and saturation, experiment with an emerald hue. Individual strands painted in a lime or neon tone will also look good.
Variety of shades
It is believed that the green color has more than 30 different shades, which allows each girl to choose the most suitable image for her. The use of a particular shade is determined depending on the color type of the person seeking to dye the hair. Color type implies parameters such as the natural shade of curls, eye and skin color. Light green is recognized as one of the most popular shades. It looks great individually, but it becomes no less effective in combination with others.
Most of all, the shades of the palette are suitable for owners of light skin and blue or green eyes. The brightest and most unusual representative of this group is considered to be acid green with a yellow undertone. The gray-green version is trendy and looks advantageous in any situation. However, for a more dramatic look, it is often combined with turquoise paint, silver or even platinum. Shades are often used to create ombre or voluminous strands.
Dark green promises to be a fairly long-term trend. Most of all, this shade is suitable for girls with brown eyes. To enrich dark greens, black and even ashy ones are often used. Finally, the combination of light brown and green looks very beautiful.
As light brown in this case can vary from light to dark, so green turns out to be both bright green and rather pale.

Basma is a natural color that is obtained from indigo leaves. It gives a much more effective result if you first cover the hair with henna. Basma powder is purchased so that there are about 100 grams of powder per 15 centimeters of strands.

Follow-up care
Taking care of green hair is, in general, a typical care for dyed hair. It is necessary to immediately select the means suitable for such hair, and not only shampoo, balm, conditioner, but also other means. In general, when choosing a new component of care, it would be good to first find out if it does not wash out the color. It is also important to protect the curls from aggressive influences. For example, for a while, limit the use of irons, pans and hair dryers, as well as protect the strands, staying in the sun outside or in the cold.
It is better to wash the head not with hot, but with warm water, otherwise the shade will quickly begin to fade. By the way, sometimes it would be a good solution to use dry shampoo instead of the usual one, as it gently cleanses the skin and roots, but does not affect the color. A visit to the pool must be accompanied by the wearing of a protective cap.
In addition, home tinting has to be done from time to time.To do this, it is enough to mix the remaining paint with a balm or conditioner, and then apply the mixture for about a quarter of an hour.
Separately, mention should be made of the ability to wash off paint, which is easy to implement at home.
