The main ingredient in shampoos that control the green are the chelater EDTA. They're pretty weak, though, and barely work. When the green in the hair has been there for weeks, make a weak solution (maybe a half teaspoon, or a gram or two) of EDTA in a quart of hot water, and lean back with your hair immersed in a bowl of the solution. It takes several minutes. The hotter, the better. You'll see the water turn green very soon.
Where do you get EDTA? It's in the chelataion therapy pills like these: http://www.wonderlabs.com/itemleft.php?itemnum=9762
