So I had my hair dyed blue and have managed to get some on the painted white wall. I didn't notice till the next day so it's dry. It's quite faint but still noticeable, any tips??

Google says, try rubbing alcohol, or nail polish remover (acetone) or Mr Clean Magic eraser.

I have no personal experience of any of these remedies.

If it’s matte paint, I have had luck just gently wiping it off. Either using a wipe or a slightly damp sponge, be slow/careful though.

If not, painting over the area is a fallback option.

Ive got cadbury purple hair, ive done this lol
If magic eraser dont work, paint
I find when i use alcohol based anything it starts also taking the paint below and then you see that shade or 2 lighter hole in the paint which in a dim light you dont see but when its lit up, it sticks out like dogs balls

I've had success with bleach removing hair dye on a painted windowsill. I'd soak a cotton ball in bleach and hold it on the wall - avoiding drips and wearing rubber gloves.
