What causes green hair?

[troykristoffer]

If you put a strong oxidizer like beach on hair treated with a true metallic dye it would get very hot and the hair would literally disintegrate!

Not a metallic dye...you need greacian forumula!

Ok, so why DID the clorox turn my black-rinsed hair green? I had used the blackest black available of Clairol Loving Care brand.

(I am not meaning to start anything, just sharing an experience and wondering about the cause.)

ok, semipermanent color is made of blue, red, and yellow dye molecules....the red and yellow will bleach out some what and turn sort of yellow orange (more yellow than orange...the blue is pretty permanant...basic color theory...you killed all the red so you have blue and yellow left...they make green. YOu can see the same type of effect if you try and bleach out black ink or marker from an article of clothing sometimes....it doesn't bleach completely but leaves a greenish stain.
