Green hair color turned blue :(

Hello everyone! πŸ™‚
I need your help because I wanted to have green hair so I bought the Echanted Forest product by Manic Panic.
I had really light blond hair and it turned light blue the first application.
For my second try it turned turquoise with the same product.

Still, I want to have (dark) green hair  πŸ™‚

I recently bought a black hair product to dye my hair black then green to have a dark green color but I'm afraid to mess this up.

I'm open to listen to your advices :3

(sorry if there is faults, I'm french <3 )

If your green is too blue then either try a different green, or add some yellow to the Enchanted forest.
Some blacks can be used to make greens darker, which one did you get?

Well, I bought the black color on supermarket, Movida by Garnier ... that's not really a good product to mix something with I think.
I bought it as a base to my hair.

If it is the type of product where you mix two parts together I would not recommend using it. There are much better and less damaging ways to get dark green than to dye your hair black and then green. If you can find a green-based semi-permanent black (I think Manic Panic Raven is green-based) and mix it with your green and some yellow you would get a deep green without the damage and long-term commitment that a box black dye will give you.

Putting a green over black will be pointless anyway I'm afraid. You won't see the green at all, unless you're really lucky and get some green shine in the sunlight.
