Hair Dying Help

Hello, Everyone!

So recently, I was looking for a temporary fun and trendy color to dye my hair and decided on Manic Panic's Atomic Turquoise. It was my first time bleaching my hair before dying it with an "unnatural color" and bleaching it period. It's been about 2 weeks and now, I want to change my hair. I've tried every fading method possible- dish soap, vitamin c, baking soda, clarifying shampoo, etc. Although it's faded quite a bit, it's still this green color which I hate. It's fairly vibrant but not too much. I'll insert pictures below of when it first was dyed and how it is now (the now pics are with the the dye tshirt!). My question is- can I dye it a reddish brown color without bleaching it, or getting the color out completely? I heard red counteracts green but some is still pretty blue so I'm concerned. I was thinking of using L'Oreal Paris' Light Auburn Brown 654 color. Will it work? Do I need to fade it more? Or will I be okay? I need a fairly quick solution because I go on vacation in 3 days. Thanks so much!

If you're looking to go to a natural color I would bleach your hair then make it the color you'd like.. yet frankly I feel like it may fry your hair.. if that's what you're trying to ask lol.

Personally I would strip the color first. If you dye over it the color may not come out right, have a weird tinge to it, or fade to an odd/ugly color.

I'm going to try to fade it out some more and then hope for the best when dying over it. I can't afford to bleach it again at the moment and I already used ColorOops but thanks for the tips!

Strip the color using dandruff shampoo and vitamin c!! it won't damage your hair. after do a bleach wash with a bleaching powder and purple shampoo. way better than just bleaching.
