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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to dye my hair blue. The result is slightly different than I expected: my white bathroom is now blue, and so are my skin and nails. The only thing that isn't blue is my hair, which is now green. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Today, I tried dyeing my hair at home to save some money. I carefully followed the instructions but when I rinsed it off, my hair turned a shocking shade of shiity neon green. Not wanting to leave the house looking like a radioactive toad, I wore a hat and hoped nobody would notice. FML
Today, I colored my hair. It was supposed to turn out blonde, but it became more a mix of red and brown and blonde patches. When I tried coloring everything back, a green tint was added. My hair is at the moment red, brown, blonde and green. FML
Today, my roommate pranked me by putting blue food coloring in the shower head. I have class in 20 minutes and look like a Smurf. FML
Today, I came home from a crazy costume party and took a hot shower. When I opened my eyes and saw the water running from my head was bloody, I freaked out and called my friend for help. She had to remind me that for the party, I'd coloured my hair red with washable hair dye. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I dyed our hair. His hair came out good. My hair, on the other hand, came out splotchy, and instead of dark blue, it came out green. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde using a DIY kit I found online. As I was washing out the dye, I realized my hair had turned bright orange. I had to wear a hat all day to avoid being seen in public with a Johnny Rotten fright-wig. FML
Today, I decided I wanted to dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

If you read this OP, NAIL POLISH REMOVER WORKS! I used to dye my hair black all the time so I'd use nail polish remover.

I thought of Big Fat Liar first with the blue body :X

67 - Nail polish remover usually contains acetone, which is actually REALLY toxic (you can buy acetone-free, I still wouldn't put it on any more of your skin than you have to while removing nail polish). Rubbing alcohol is the way to go. I have black hair, and have been dyeing it for 12 years, I started getting a grey streak in high school, and my natural hair has faded a bit to a kind of dusty black. I also usually put chunks of blue and fuchsia in it, but I let my hairstylist do that. Rubbing alcohol is safe for your skin, and strong enough to remove sharpie and pretty much anything else.

Op ignore these people nothing can remove the dye. I guess you will just have to be blue forever.

I imagine Tobias Funke. "I blue myself"

Hot water makes the color run more and dries out your hair
asdfghjklana 9
She could get that stuff that takes the dye out of your scalp and put it all over her body...

My first thought was asari. I see I'm the only one.

Hair dye has never dyed my skin before but then again I have never dyed my hair a color like blue before. Think it might be the brand you're using OP. I would only trust a hair dresser with a drastic color like that to keep your hair healthy. Good luck
Catkam623 27
Papa Smurf likey I'm sure.
jordanlite 16
Colors like blue and pink only really come in semipermanent dyes and they dye skin very easily. That's why a lot of people put Vaseline along their hairline and ears beforehand.

Yo listen up, heres a story About a little guy that lives in a blue world And all day and all night and everything he sees Is just blue Like him inside and outside Blue his house with a blue little window And a blue corvette And everything is blue for him And his self and everybody around Cause he aint got nobody to listen.

I'm not the only one thank you

What's wrong with looking like a Smurf?
Enslaved 38
How the smurf! could the smurf be so smurf and not use her smurf when she wanted to smurf her smurf!

There's plenty of smurfs that would love you just how you are
dashizam 10
Sorry, but you really have thought about that one. It's pretty obvious that the dye is not going to just disappear!
IndigoFuckYou 9
Usually it disappears down the drain, though, or everyone you see with dyed hair would have dyed skin.
Mifflicious 18
Actually, they usually do have dyed skin. It fades after a couple of showers though.

I dyed my hair blue once. I got the dye around my ears, and they turned blue. It took weeks to come out
ParisMilton93 15
This is why I wash mine over the shower rather than in the shower, and I usually get someone to help me by holding the shower head :) even if its just for the first shampoo and rinse, that way your body stays free of dye :)
Saone_fml 27
Usually when you dye your hair, you rinse it out as much as you can, then have a shower id you wanted to take one, otherwise you will end up dying yourself. And to avoid the coloured neck/forehead/ears : babywipes and a mirror... And a person or a second mirror for the back of your neck! Or am i really the only one who thinks thats a pretty obvious thing to do?
MissMess 12
This is why you rinse it out people. I didn't think there were people who didn't know that, or does nobody read instructions anymore?
tikimuppet 11
I've been dying my hair for six years and I have never dyed my skin. And if the poster managed to dye themselves that blue they must have been doing something wrong or bought some really dodgy dye
BostonBear 33
that's what I used to do. Also keeps from staining the tub/shower as well
emilyjgraham 34
150, I'm the same as you, I've never experienced being dyed and I rinse whilst standing under the shower. The only time I've dyed my skin is when I get dye around my hair line from the process!
hayyyyleyyyybaby_fml 14
if you rub conditioner or vaseline around your hair line and ears before you dye, the dye wont stick to your skin..
xgetxbentx 13
Well, generally when dying hair it shouldn't dye that much of your skin. Around your hairline, some spots on the scalp, and your ears is normal. However that should not be enough to make op look like a smurf... Next time op should rub Vaseline on her forehead, ears, and the back of her neck.
professorchaosx 14
Both times I dyed mine blue, it only took a couple days to come out. Shampoo works wonders.

You can have the best Halloween costume ever

Look on the bright side. at least now you can join the Blue Man Group!

I'm afraid she just... Blue herself.
brackaman 18
I'm blue if I was green I would die.. Or was it I'm in need of a guy? Or I will bleed I will die? I never could tell..
grafeety 9
It's gibberish, it's actually just "Dabadee dabadie"
onlychildFTW 34
There a pretty legit group too!

Thanks 146. Guess that trip to the oracle at Delphi to find the answer wasn't worth it after all :(
NickaPLZ 26
Have fun explaining that one to your boss...
gothmo 8
It's easy, "I dyed my hair blue but forgot to rinse most of it out before I showered, it'll be gone in a little bit." Or, if it's where it should be (on their back/back of neck) their boss really shouldn't see it anyway... Or, another one, their boss doesn't care about dyed hair. Or, last one, they're a student/kid who doesn't have one atm. Just because one's hair is blue doesn't mean they'll automatically make their boss mad/not have a job.

With blue hair I can't imagine this person having a very influential job...
squideth 18
I have piercings and tattoos and I have an amazing job that I love. Please think before judging someone you don't know based on their appearance

Maybe OP can say it's a promotional stunt
skysull19 4
What boss? She has blue hair.
spikekutter 9
just use soap on your skin, it should come out..
5t3ff1k4h 45
I regularly dye my hair not-found-in-nature colours. Trust me when I say when blue dye runs over your skin just from trying to rinse the stuff out of your hair, soap and water does not remove it.
emag_eht 18
Yeah dye takes a few days to fade away from skin. I dye my dad's hair and I'm not careful with my hands so my hands get some black spots that usually stay for 3-4 days.
lizzi02 13
I use rubbing alcohol to get it off of my skin :/ normally for spot-treatments
LovesSushi 25
Or a magic eraser. I had to do that for a bad spray tan.
The_F3rris 11
Damn, what kind of dye did you use? I want to try it.
ohreallynow1992 3
Manic Panic is a good one. I actually have it in my hair right now.
leadawg75 12
No sploosh is permanent and hellacious to try and get out of your hair. It last six months to a year. I used it this summer, but the back of my back was as pink as my hair afterwards. My best bet is that that's what she/he used.
hryffff 11
You could search online how to get it out?
