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.

As weird as it sounds, a little bleach helps get it off instantly... I dyed my hair without gloves once because I didn't feel like waiting... Scrubbed for an hour trying to get it off. My mom says try a little bleach. I did, it took it all off almost instantly... Gets a little warm, but it works. Just wash yourself real good after.
Your mother might have said peroxide? I doubt bleach would fix it.
Next time ask somebody else to do it for you...
Thats a whole lot of dying!!
Hair dying isn't that difficult. What color & how did you manage that stupidity?
As easy as this task can be this is a very common mistake.
exactly.
Just go to a beauty supply store like Sally's and get the actual dye remover for your skin.
17, why would you waste that much money on special "dye remover" when hair dye is designed to wash out in warm soapy water? Just have a long shower and scrub hard.
Jesus @57 you need to calm your **** she had the correct word.....you are an idiot and need to calm the **** down
You must have really loved the colour.

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.
