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.

There's ways to avoid that... Rubber gloves & putting Vaseline on the places (like your forehand and ears) where you don't want dyed.

dye unfortunately gets under rubber gloves or sometimes they get holes, money always do right at the thumbs and if you have nails, forget it. they're not impenetrable. and sometimes you get sure where you don't have protective cream. arms, face, and whatnot.

Rubbing alcohol will help. Dab before it dries if you can!
That happened to me yesterday! What sucks even more is that my hair isn't even shoulder length. The bathtub is stained blue. Since I'm a ginger, next time, I'm going to have to get two boxes instead of one. (T^T)

And how exactly did you manage to do that?
You put Vaseline around your forehead, ears and neck and use gloves for that to not happen.
Rubbing alcohol. Trust me. (I have violently fuchsia hair).
I bet your new colour is just to dye for
If you don't have really sensitive skin bleach will take off the dye on your skin, that's what I always use. Though for your face I'd use I'd use the wipes that removes hair dye that you can find at any beauty supplies store like Sally's. but for you OP, I'd suggest having a friend or family member remove the dye for you considering that you dyed almost all of your body.

Windex will get it out, I'm serious. It was a little trick I learned in cosmetology school.

That's a great tip. I'll try that the next I do my hair!

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.
