: green and tomorrow is monday. anybody got any suggestions. my
: natural color is medium mousy brown with some minimal gray.
depends on what caused the swamp green. if it happened because the
hennalucent contains metallic salts that reacted with the chemical
dye in your hair, I don't know what you could do to fix that. I've
never seen this type of green myself, but from what I hear it can be
very difficult to do something about it and you'll probably need the
help of a professional.

another possibility is that the hennalucent shade you used, contained
a lot of indigo. indigo can give a very unattractive green cast,
especially if you start with an ashy natural colour, which you did.
if this is what's going on, there are several options. first, the
colour may change a bit in the next couple of days due to
oxidization. second, the indigo may wash out (it always does for me,
but on some people it's permanent so who knows). third, you could
counterbalance the green by using a red henna over it. make sure to
use body-art quality that has no metallic salts in it for sure, and
strand-test so you know for how long to leave it on.
