My best advice would be to go go to the Salon, before you make it worse. We all have one hair dye disaster in our lifetime, but you can just make it worse by trying to make it better, lol. So just go to the Salon, they'll probably give you a Malibu treatment, and then they'll dye it the right color for you! Hope it works out!

Sounds like you used an Ash brown.
The salon is probabaly the best idea, but I found these on the internet. Can't guarantee how well they work, but people on the internet say they do.
Baking soda - Baking soda mixed with regular shampoo makes a paste that can remove green hair. Apply the paste liberally and leave it on for five minutes. Rinse with cold water.
Alka seltzer tablets. Dissolve two alka seltzer tablets in two inches of water (use more for hair longer than shoulder length or for thick hair) and add a good squirt of baby shampoo. Apply a generous amount and work into the hair from scalp to ends. Let it sit on your hair for exactly five minutes. Then wash and condition.
Add a small amount of ketchup or tomato paste to your shampoo and wash your hair. For tougher green stains, add the tomato paste directly to your hair. Cover hair with a shower cap and allow hair to absorb the paste for eight to ten minutes. Avoid contact with your eyes.
