Hey Ellie, Helper! ,
if you put dark brown over red and blonde highlights, the red will go darker, but the blonde will turn green. You need two steps. First, get a medium red color – use ONLY the color bottle – not the developer which is usually the plastic one with the nozzle. Put red color on hair. Wait 15 minutes, rinse. It will put a red tone on the blonde highlights which you need to prevent going green. Towel dry hair. Use dark brown product, ash if you have cool skin tones, natural dark brown for all others. It should cover completely, with maybe a little lighter brown on your former highlights, which looks more natural. Good luck.
