Today, I dyed my hair. And my forehead. And my ears. And my arms. And my hands. FML

MissDQ tells us more.

I've been dying my hair since I was 14, so know what I'm doing. I just now live in a tiny house with a tiny bathroom and my hair is just shy of my butt. I usually use a mirror to make sure I'm ok, but because of the length of my hair I have to do it upside down over the bathtub. It got on my arms while doing the main body of my hair, ears and forehead are a no brainier and I had a couple of spots drip down the gloves while I was doing the ends. I managed to get it off my face thankfully because I had to go out in public. The box said to use a wet towel with shampoo on it when you rinse it out, which I did and it didn't seem to be working so I attacked my face with exfoliating gloves and it did the job. I've now got to work out how to scrub the purple off the vanity and in the bathtub. I do wipe it straight away but it stains right away too. It's a super dark mahogany since I have to use 2 bottles. Looks blackish in the shade and red in the sun. Came out far better than I expected and I've never gone dark before so it's a nice change. Adds to the 'new me' thing I've got going.

Why is your hair shy of your butt? They both belong to the same girl, so the social awkwardness is unnecessary.

You're supposed to put the dye in your hair, not use it as bubble bath. I would ask if you were blonde, but that's a stupid stereotype. And I think it's a moot point now anyway.

Just pay a professional it's worth it

always use petroleum jelly. keeps the color off

My hairdresser used to use Windex (sprayed on a cotton pad) to remove hair dye. I haven't dyed my hair for several years now though because I have a really pretty natural hair colour... Just never realized it when I was younger.

I use vaseline on all areas that may come in contact with the hair dye. Especially around the face, ears, and neck. I also wear clothes and use towels I don't care if I ruin.

to ever suggested she use bleach to take it off her skin, you try it first then think about it twice before you go suggest it again...

Vaseline in any areas that you don't want dyed.

put petroleum jelly on the base of your neck, ears, along the sides of your face and on your forehead next time you dye your hair. It won't stain anything if you get dye on your skin and it wipes right off when your finished.
