Today, I decided to change my hair color. After waiting in anticipation, I took a shower to rinse out the dye and reveal my new, blue hair. Rinsing revealed not only blue hair, but blue skin caused by the watered dye running over my body. I now look like a smurf, and it's not coming out. FML

Well, now your skin matches your hair!

Time to legally change your name to 'Smurfette' by deed poll...

"Trying to look pathetic"? You make no sense. Begone.

OP, having dyed my hair blue many times, and the way to remove it depends on the brand. Some brands clean with vinegar, others are SET by it. Same with rubbing alcohol. If your dye doesn't have instructions, get a piece of plastic you don't care about and 'spill' a few drops of dye on it. Clean each drop with a different product until you figure out which works best. Usually, it will be either rubbing alcohol or vinegar (sometimes hydrogen peroxide). After using whichever one it is on your skin & rinsing, you can also try an 'exfoliating' soap. If you already set it in by using the wrong product, you will be blue for a few days. NEXT TIME: Cover edges of hair (neck, forehead, ears, etc) with petroleum jelly. Wear gloves for both dying and rinsing. When ready to rinse, lean back with your head next to the drain to rinse it out thoroughly. If you can get someone to help, it will be easier. Once you're done with the first rinse, you can shower without dying your skin. Wash the tub as soon as you're done to avoid staining.

I know that feel. Depending on the dye you used, there a few options for getting it off your skin. A couple mentioned in the comment above. Another good thing to try is Windex. That's how I get the dye off of my skin when dying my hair. Good luck!

next time bend over the tub and wash it out with your head upside down. if you don't know how to dye your hair with those kind of colors don't do it.

Get over it, it's not the end of the world. I help my friend dye her hair all the time and get hair dye on my hands. It takes 2 days to come off. Stop being dramatic OP.

Sorry OP :/ when I dyed my hair blue, it stained my skin a little too. I used Vaseline to rub it off though, along with hot water and a harsh soap to wash off the color. Hope this helps~

I have done this!! Washing up liquid, Lush cosmetics and Head and Shoulders shampoo remove hair dye really well due to their concentrates. Good luck OP!!
