So Im thinking about dying my whole head a color (omg big step)
and I really like the idea of a deep green (not neon) because I think It'll bring out my eyes cause they're kinda green too.
What is the best dye to use to achieve a color similar to the picture below.
I'm looking at either
-MP Enchanted Forest
-Special Effects Sonic Green
-Directions Alpine Green

any experience? tips?

    hows its lasting power?
    and i forgot to add that im going to try to get my hair professionally bleached becasue i messed it up so badd when ddi it by myself i don't feel like doing that again...
    so how light do I have to go to get it to look somewhat liek that.
    I want to tell them to bleach it as little as possible, but like i want the color to work otherwise i've wasted my money

    I haven't used that particular shade but from my experience SFX has outlasted both Manic Panic and Directions.
    But if you want the blue tones to stand out you have to get your hair as light as possible.
    A pale yellow should be good enough.

    you know... i have no idea where that photo came from, but an ebay auction for punky alpine green has that photo in its item description. so there's a chance that it is alpine green.

    It just has blue tones as opposed to yellow ones considering it's a deep teal.
    I don't think it's going to look very blue unless you bleach your hair to white.
    Sonic Green, Alpine Green, and Enchanted Forest are all very similar.
    I just suggest SFX because of its staying power.
    But I do find that it has stronger tones than any other dye so it's going to shine a bit more blue than Directions or Manic Panic.
    I think it looks way nicer than Iguana or Limelight, but I've never been a huge fan of green.

    ohhh okayy.
    so when it fades out do you think it'll go more blue than a icky yellow like i've heard limelight does?

    EDIT: wow i just googled it and this is what i found
    "The color comes out a darker teal on unbleached or darker hair, and a vibrant teal on bleached or very light hair. The color fades nicely and slowly to a true green/teal color and bleaches out to a very pale blue."

    Yeah, that sounds about right.
    It's probably going to look nice as it fades.
    Then again, most SFX shades do except for the lighter ones like Limelight and Blue-Haired Freak.
