Blue Dye Turned Funny Green Colors?

I've dyed my hair blue three times before and it has never come out badly. However, this time it's a very very bright shade of greenish blue at the roots and gets darker as it goes down. I think the reason is when I bleached it I didn't bleach it long enough because the top of my head was getting so much lighter than the tips and I didn't want to kill my hair.

Bleaching it again sounds dangerous. I have a hot oil treatment I got for Christmas and I heard that helps strip the dye out.

Do I have to strip the dye or can I put a darker blue or black over it and be okay? (I used a blue that was meant to be a fairly light color, if I dye over I'll try to get after midnight blue since I've done it before and like that color).

If I use the hot oil treatment should I put a toner in my hair before I dye it again?

    you might not have much more luck trying to dye it a darker blue if it's still got green in your hair. Your hair might not have been light enough, if three are any yellow/orange tones it will come out green. Try and wash out as much dye as you can and then you should try bleachng again. You have to get as much green out as you van before dying it again or have a green tint under any colour you put over it.
