How do I get hair dye stains off my forehead?!

[vanimal]

I have dyed my hair this morning, for an important client meeting tomorrow.

But I now have a few dark stain spots on my forehead and my arms - eeek!

Any top tips on how to get rid of these so I don't look like an arse tomorrow?

baby wipes ?

make up remover ?

even permanent hair dye should come off if you scrub hard enough

why didn't you remove the drips immediately ?

is it permanent dye or semi-permanent? if the latter, try rubbing shampoo into your forehead and then rinsing off. Works for me.

If it's permanent, I don't know, sorry.

I use nail varnish remover but my mom always gasps horrified at me and says it will ruin my skin!

In order of skin damage limitation:

• Milk on cotton wool

• Baby wipes

• Nail polish remover

carpet cleaner

Oh, and I've heard cigarette ash mixed with lemon juice and shampoo works too. Think I'd rather go to work with a stained forehead though.

heavy duty exfoliator?

try hair spray on a pad of cotton wool
or try to rub it with shampoo as you wash your hair
I did my hair yesterday (red) and now wonders if I have red marks on my neck and back of my ears and would DH tell me if I did?

Next time rub vaseline on your forehead, ears and neck before you do it...

I've used bleach before (works but isn't that healthy) but a good face pack/mud mask will work too. Other than that you might have to just scrub hard.

Rub oil or vaseline in leave and then rub off. Usually works.

Neat vodka works for me.

I rub like fuck with wet wipes but best to do it whilst dye is freshly on. It will probably still come off but will need a really good scrub. Good luck!

A hairdresser will tell you to rub ash on it and it will come off - not sure if they mean fag ash or ash from the fire grate but it does work - I used fag ash as didn;t live in a house with a fire then and it did work! Bit smelly had to wash hair again afetrwards!

Old-style blue Clearasil works a treat, as does Domestos.

fag ash.

I actually used to frequent (and pay good money to) a hairdresser who used to use fag ash from the ashtrays in the back room of the salon to remove the stains from my face.

my hairdresser mentioned that washing up liquid works well last time she dyed my hair (but didn't leave me with a tide mark to try it on, for once...)

Fraid they're right its cigarette ash, just mixed with water is fine, this is what we did at the salon where I worked, though we never told the clients - I hated it!

I always use nail varnish remove.

Baby wipes or neat vodka
