I'm dyeing my hair in a couple days! (exciting!)
I think I'm going to use Fishbowl SFX, but I want my hair to be really turquoise and it looks kind of greenish on some people. Should I mix it with another color or something? Do you have any other turquoise dye recommendations? I have dark brown hair and I'm going to bleach it...Thanks!!!

To get more blue, use a toner after you bleach to get out the unwanted yellow.

As for other dyes, if you decide you are absolutely in love with the turquoise, use Punky Colour Lagoon Blue, preferably the Punky Pro version, if you can get your hands on it. But as I said, make sure you're in love with it, because it is almost impossible to get rid of. I had a friend who had it in her hair for maybe two months, and it barely faded. It even managed to hang on through two bleachings. But if that's the colour you want for a while, Lagoon Blue's an excellent alternative to Fishbowl, which needs touching up every couple weeks in my expirience.

    Fishbowl always goes turquoise for me and the key to this is to make sure your hair is bleached light enough. If there are yellow or golden tones then this will turn the blue greenish.

    If you're still worried (you could try a strand test to be sure) then I'd use a mix of 1:3 Blue Mayhem:Fishbowl.
    Let us know how you get on.
