What likely happened:
* Red pigment: Even after bleaching, your hair might still have some underlying red pigment. This is especially true if your natural hair color is darker or has warm tones.
* Toner reaction: When you applied the toner, the blue pigment in the toner reacted with the remaining red pigment in your hair. This can lead to a green or blue-green shade, especially if the toner was too cool or too strong for your hair.
What to do:
1. Assess the damage: How blue/green is your hair? Is it just a slight tint or a strong, noticeable color?
2. Don't panic: It's important to stay calm and avoid rushing into further treatments.
3. Consult a professional: The best course of action is to consult with a professional hairstylist. They can assess the situation, recommend the best approach, and potentially fix the color.
Potential fixes:
* Color correction: A hairstylist can use a color correction technique to neutralize the green/blue tones and achieve a more desirable color.
* Toner adjustment: If the color is subtle, they might recommend a different toner with a warmer base to counteract the blue.
* Hair mask: A deep conditioning hair mask can help hydrate and smooth the hair, reducing the appearance of any unevenness in the color.
Things to avoid:
* DIY solutions: Avoid trying to fix the color yourself with home remedies or store-bought products. This can further damage your hair or create unpredictable results.
* Further bleaching: Bleaching your hair again could lead to further damage and may not solve the issue.
Prevention tips:
* Choose the right toner: Talk to a stylist about the appropriate toner for your hair color and desired result.
* Do a strand test: Before applying toner to your entire head, test it on a small strand of hair to see how it reacts.
* Professional consultation: Always seek professional guidance before making major color changes.
Remember, it's best to trust a hairstylist to correct the color. They have the knowledge and experience to help you achieve the desired result safely.
