A Few Things Know About Green Hair Dye:

Most green hair colors are semi-permanent and should wash out after so many washes. This means that it’s a higher upkeep color, and you’ll have to refresh it often.

Of course, there are a few things you can do to prolong the life of green hair color, like wash your hair with lukewarm (not hot) water, use sulfate-free shampoo and bleach your hair before applying the color.

And if you’re not ready to take the full plunge, there are some fun ways to add green to your life without the commitment. Hair chalk and clip-in extensions are easy ways to rock this look without permanently altering your hair.

Now let’s get to the good stuff… Here are 17 of my favorite green hair color ideas:
