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.

A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

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.

Use shaving cream to wash it off, and then soap up your hands a bit after to get the excess off. I've been dying my hair for years, and that always works. I recommend wearing a long shirt that you don't like, plastic gloves, and wash off the dye immediately once it gets on your ears or forehead.

Next time try putting Vaseline on your forehead, ears, neck etc and wear some gloves

Use rubbing alcohol. It should get it out. U can also use mouthwash in a pinch.

Lol men... directions Don say anything about the sure that sneaks under your gloves. you clearly never colored your hair and since you're a guy I bet you always reason directions.

Ah, the perils of hair dye. Look on the bright side, though – at least you weren't dying your hair bright red. Then your bathroom would've looked like a murder scene. :D

Believe it or not, a little bit of milk will get rid of hair dye on skin. You have to use it straight away though, before the dye has time to develop.

I've dyed parts of my hair blue, purple and pink before and those dyes stain so badly. Rubbing alcohol will get it off skin right away and Mr. Clean Magic Erasers get colored dyes out of counters at least. I've never had to get a color out of my tub so I don't know if it will work there. Because your hair is so long you should get a friend to help you next time to help prevent this issue.

I dyed my hair many times and it comes right out. I don't see how you could have done that
