How do you get hair dye stains off skin a.s.a.p.?

Question

I decided (like a fool) to dye my hair this afternoon from blond to permanent black hair dye. I have succeeded, but the only problem is that I have a few stains on my forehead and around my my hairline and on my ears. The thing is I have to go meet some people who I really need to impress. So is ther anyone that can tell me how to get rid of these stains a.s.a.p. to prevent me looking like an idiot?

Answer 1

This might sound silly but trust me it works. Soak a piece of cotton wool with milk and then dip it into cigarette ash, rub it on your skin. It might not take all the stains off but it will defiantly take some of it off.

Answer 2

If it was recent (within an hour and a half) you can see if dish soap will take it out, it works on me all the time, but I've never dyed my hair black...Other things that have worked are rubbing alchohal, vinegar, lemon juice, or fingernail polish. The thing is, that all of these are abrasive to the skin, so you might want to use a moisturizer- By the by, if your eyebrows and eyelashes are blond or light brown, shadow in your brows a bit with a slightly darker that your natural color (use a powder and go very lightly to make it look natural) And put mascara onto your eyelashes, down to the roots. Good luck, and I hope you impress them alot!

Answer 3

There is a product that I absolutely cannot remember the name of that works really well; I've used it many times.

It's in the same aisle as the hair dye, and it comes in a little pink packet with a "before and after" type of picture on it. Inside is a little wet wipe that has who-knows-what on it. But it works... better than anything.

I'm really sorry I couldn't remember the name though...

Answer 4

To get it out of pores and skin, I usually merely use cleansing soap and get an old delicate toothbrush i offered fairly for this and merely make around motions gently and it always gets each and all the dye out. I additionally hear lemon juice works properly yet i've got in no way tried it! and that i do no longer think of your eyebrows are too mild yet once you decide on you are able to continuously experience them in somewhat with eyebrow pencil or eyeshadow (which seems extra organic.) I additionally think of auburn highlights would look enormously!

Answer 5

I know it will smell but cigarette ash...dip a corner of a damp towel in it and scrub. Black color will be hard to get off reguardless-you can get stain remover at sallys beauty supply, that's what we use in salons but honestly we usually try something else after the stain remover only does a so-so job--good luck

Answer 6

My hairdresser uses some alcohol based remover but this never works properly. As soon as I get home, I use a little Cif cream on damp cotton wool (yes, the stuff you use to clean the bath, sink etc). It removes all traces in seconds. It has never hurt my skin or anything, but as it's not really for skin, be careful.

Answer 7

Rub Head and Shoulders shampoo onto the stains but don't use it to wash you hair because it'll make the colour run more than other shampoos.

Answer 8

Hydrogen Peroxide and a paper towel.

Worked like magic on my jet black hair dye stains

Answer 9

Cut a lemon in half, put a little suger in a bowl..dip the half lemon in suger & rub it all on the dyed skin..(trust me it works!!!)

Next time u wanna dye your hair smear vasaline around ur hair line, it stops the dye from staying there!!!!

Answer 10

you've already got a lot of suggestions on removing it so i'll give you a tip for future reference smear some vaseline all around your forehead, neck and ears next time you dye and it should help prevent this.
