How do I deal with my hair catastrophe?

My hair was brown with some brassy-ish highlights (I'll attach a picture of what my hair looked like when the Sun hit it). A few days ago I decided to dye my hair blue. I used Splat Aqua Rush on UNBLEACHED hair. My hair looks black, which I like, in certain lighting and black and GREEN when I go outside. It's a horrid swamp green color. I've tried washing it out and went swimming at the beach with no luck. I have decided to dye over it but I'm not sure what color. Please help me.

Clay mask + anti dandruff shampoo can fade a bit the color but I'm afraid you should bleach your hair to get the color off..

Yeah, unfortunately she's right only bleach can remove non permanent colors. I would say before you dye over it try using a red based toner or semi/Demi color to correct the green tones.

And if that doesn't give you something you like then color over it.
