I've had hair that length before. It's so high maintenance. I'm glad it worked out well for you!

Congratulations on getting two FMLs published.

put vaseline around hairline, ears and such also, makeup wipes take dye off skin easiest for me, two rubs most and it's off as for tub staining, unavoidable really, sucks

Next time you get it on your skin try Vaseline. :) it works wonders.

Why is your hair shy of your butt? They both belong to the same girl, so the social awkwardness is unnecessary.

Hairspray works to get the dye off, or 99% rubbing alcohol. The Vaseline is a good idea, I'm going to try that the next time I dye my hair. I feel your pain OP, hopefully you can get the dye off! Keep us posted!

You aren't having a very good week Miss DQ.

Why didn't you put vaseline on your ears and forehead before hand? Doesn't it say to.put on 'protective cream' on every bottle? It says that on mine.

if you happened to have any developer it's good for cleaning stains on surfaces and on skin. or while the dye is in your hair if you rub it around your hairline and then wipe it off it works pretty good. and sometimes you may have to shave the little hairs too because they get get dyed.

another good tip, ammonia free dyes don't stain as much.

To get the stain out of the tub just use bleach

congrats on 2 published fmls? naw that's a tragedy if you think about it. an internet full of miserable people thinks your misery is noteworthy hahaha

Show us a picture! Show us a picture!!!

Sounds sexy

Coat the tub in mineral oil before starting. It'll help reduce staining.

omg I dye my hair like the exact same shade!! :D ya getting it on your skin is a bitch

I had the same problem the other day. :( Dye can be a bitch when it stains (skin or the bathroom). Soak the stained spots on the counter with bleach and then wipe it down, it should do the job

@OP You know that Harpic White & Shine bleach gel you can get to clean the toilet? Put a few spots on the dye you spilled, and wipe it up a minute later. Works like magic :) I discovered this after I did a similar thing a few months back.

use anti-dandruff shampoo. it gets dye out of everything. i used the new clear by loreal and it got the mahogany dye off of everything. just dont use it in your hair obviously, it will strip it of the dye.

Try hydrogen peroxide in the bathtub. It works wonders on stains.

Next time, put a little Vaseline or baby oil on the areas where you think you might get dye on your skin. It may seem weird but it works or have it done at a salon! Really, try the baby oil or Vaseline!

And wear latex gloves instead of the cheap ones they put in hair dye boxes! It'll cost you a dollar but save a lot of trouble later!

Just do the rest of the tub and vanity. Then your friends will think you have good taste in putting wood looking rub and vanity in your bathroom. Might look better then you think but good luck getting it of your hands and what not

Are you dumb? She said her hair is 'just shy of my butt' meaning the length is almost to her butt. Not that her hair has a personality that's shy of her butt. How did you get so many thumbs up for this idiotic comment? Seriously.

Kinda wish I knew you so I could see the resulting hair color. After that fight with staining I hope it was worth it

to get rid of the stains on your bath tub use mold killer , it might sound weird but trust me it gets rid of it I've used it to get rid of dye stains from the shower and its worked .

I doubt you'll see this and I know you already have other tips, but I use Sea Breeze a lot to get color off my face and ears. It works pretty well without leaving icky residue or really harsh chemicals on your skin.

Use bleach, it always works

I totally went to you profile hoping to find a picture of your glorious sounding hair. No luck

Have you tried using Vim? That stuff is amazing when I dye my hair. Also exfoliating gloves and some baking powder works so so so well when getting it off your face, hands, ears, arms, fingers and whatever else you dye ?

I've found nail polish remover does a pretty good job at removing dye stains from my bathroom

Try soft scrub w/ bleach (you can find it at most stores it's a single cleaner) for the stains. I also dye my hair a lot, and usually that'll pull stains out of my counter.

You idiot. Sarcasm have any meaning to you? IT WAS A JOKE that's why their comment got so many thumbs up and yours got a bunch of thumb downs. Including mine. Are you that stupid or are you trying to be sarcastic back? Because you're failing...

Rubbing alcohol usually takes care of dye stains for me.

"I've dyed my hair before so I know what I'm doing" - dyes entire body.

loved that color when I had it. try using Mr Clean Magic Erasers to get it up. not sure if it'll work but they work for almost everything else (: good luck!

your hair sounds beautiful.

I think you might be the idiotic one here. It's called sarcasm. Please learn it, it makes life a lot more fun!

#219, they were making a humorous joke, and a joke that seems to have gone over your head at thay

you can buy wipes made specifically for removing hair color from your skin at a Sally's beauty supply. it's been several years since I needed/used one but I think it was running alcohol.

use vasoline to avoid future dye mishaps. also get super cheap towels and lay them where you are dying your hair to avoid future stains.

toothpaste gets hair dye off anything! let it sit for a bit and you'll be good

Running alcohol will work to get it off of the skin. Good luck getting it off of anything else.

I use a dry washcloth with baby shampoo, it works better than any other soap, and I just wipe around the hair line Nd ears and back of neck and it gets the little drips or smudges right off. :) also works for the counter and walls as well (as long as its immediate)

Baby wipes work great for getting it off the skin.

Yes. This is considered a good week..

o.o if that's a "good" week, for goodness sake, dont ever try a home bikini wax... it just might end up like the story of a lady that i read in an email where she ended up glued to her bath tub and had to call a friend to help her get unstuck (im sure it was made up, but still...)

I just reread that story about the bikini wax. It still makes me laugh my ass off!

Don't try to give yourself a brazilian!

Pun intended? Lol
