Hair dye gone wrong

I'm a natural medium blonde. It was meant to go natural light ash blonde, but it's ended up as a mix of pale olive green and gun-metal grey. Not what I intended. All the dye-stripping stuff I've seen is for removing dark tones. DH is laughing at me. Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

Just buy some colour remover - it doesn't matter if it says its for dark tones, it will still strip it but it will make it very dry and quite an orangey/brassy tone but then just dye over it with something honey blonde colour. Its hard to go from a warm tone straight to an ash tone as ash tones have a blue hue to them, so thats probably whats happened.0

Personally I'd visit a hairdresser. Don't waste any more money on diy hair strippers.0

heres a homemade remedy if you have vitamin c tablets, never tried it but people in the comments says it works, worth a go

I'd try the the ketchup and clarifying shampoo method first - that's not going to damage your hair further. If that doesn't neutralise the green tone, then I'd go to the hairdresser and not risk any more home dye accidents, which could really damage your hair.
