My Hair Came Out Green/Playing With

Basic Trope: Someone tries to dye their hair a naturally-occurring colour, but the resulting hair colour is something ridiculous

• Straight: Alice tries to dye her hair blonde, but her hair turns green.
• Exaggerated: Alice's hair, skin, teeth, and all turn green.
  • After Alice's hair is shaved off, it grows back green.
  • Alice's hair glows in the dark. The glow is green.
  • Alice's hair is the color of a rainbow.
• Downplayed: Alice dyes her hair blonde, but somehow ends up with a green streak.
• Justified: The dye is faulty.
  • Alice's hair is of a colour that plays merry cob with dyes.
  • Someone replaced her dye with something else.
• Inverted: Alice wanted green hair, but it turned out blonde.
• Subverted: Alice wanted green hair.
• Double Subverted: ...but it came out pink instead.
• Parodied: Alice dyes her blonde, but the shade of blond is a bit off. Everyone else and Alice acts like her hair has gone green.
• Zig Zagged: ???
• Averted: Alice's dye does exactly what it was intended to do.
• Enforced: ???
• Lampshaded: "Should've paid more attention to the 'RESULTS MAY VARY' warning on the bottle."
• Invoked: The person doing the dying replaces the dye with green dye in order to humiliate her.
• Exploited: ???
• Defied: Alice tests the dye on a small sample of hair before trying it on herself.
• Discussed: "Be careful with that dye. Your hair might come out green."
• Conversed: "Why can't these characters ever dye their hair without looking like clowns?"
