Editor's note

Decide how much green you want visible

Choose a green family first, then decide whether it belongs through the whole shape or only selected sections. Your starting color and previous services affect what is realistic; the photos cannot establish a safe lightening plan or an exact color formula.

Compare the green in the shaded strands, then check where it appears. Some looks include blue-teal or yellow accents rather than one all-over shade.

Emerald green bob with a short straight fringe and darker root detail

Look 01

Emerald Bob With a Short Fringe

Emerald covers the compact bob and short fringe, putting green directly around the face. A little darker root detail remains visible, but the overall impression is a full green shape rather than a few hidden streaks.

Shade Emerald green
Front Short fringe

The side sections end close to the jaw and curve slightly inward. Small separations in the fringe and sides keep the surface textured, while the compact outline concentrates the darker green shade beside the cheeks.
