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

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.

Vaseline is your friend. But now your friend is make-up remover wipes or baby wipes. Good luck.

Is it just me that thinks OP might actually not have put the dye there because she was sloppy, but that it ran down her body when she washed her hair...?

Yikes! I've had that happen before - ears and forehead, the back of my neck. I have short and thin little skin-colored hair on my neck, which I accidentally dyed too. I just went ahead and shaved the back of my neck, lol. And I agree with everyone who said to use cigarette ash, it DOES work.

Noxema face pads or Stridex face pads ussually pulls dye off your skin pretty easily.

Forehead & ears, I could understand. Dyes come with gloves, so the hands make no sense, & they are made for the hair on your head, not your arms. Directions is a good place to start next time, OP.

I did that once. I was trying to dye my hair blue for wacky hair day. I think I got more on my skin than my hair.
