right i have blonde hair and underneath is dark with red flashes, i thought id re-dye my red and my bf normally helps me with this but seeing as he wasnt too enthusiastic i thought id do it myself - wont be doing that again! I was really careful to tie up all my blond out way, use gloves and also cover my neck and ears in vaseline to prevent them being dyed red - cos this is bright red. However i decided to protect my clothes by not wearing any as was gonna be getting in bath while dye was on anyways - i should have worn a t-shirt! cos my hair is long i ended up covered in red-whip like marks and bright red all over my shoulders, arms, breasts, back and even got it on my eyelids (and various places around the bathroom) :confused: - i looked like summat out a horror film! This stuff does NOT wash off with soap but baby wipes seem to have removed most of it and im jus a little bit pink now so hopefully its down to the rubbing and will fade and not down to the dye still!

Anyways my tip of the day is if you are dying just the underneath of your hair wear an old t-shirt and get someone else to do it (dye your hair that is not wear the t-shirt!) and that baby-wipes are great for anything and everything :thumbsup:

oops lol, i'll make a mental note for next time i dye my hair....when im brave enough to do it!

Seen people dye there hair and get 'stained' for days

Lol.... white spirit used sparingly should remove it from your body but don't use it on your face especially near your eyes. Bathe afterwards and watch it float to the surface.... lol. Nasty boyfriend.... starve Him. :hihi:

Anyways my tip of the day is if you are dying just the underneath of your hair wear an old t-shirt ...

Or make sure you're 'cuffed and collared'??

I'm exactly the same... i dont really have any hair dying clothes so tend to do it in just my bra & jeans or whatever...

I too have quite longish hair and have died my shoulders breasts back and neck... in the past not good...

But blimey have to agree baby wipes are fab for those dye stripes... :wink:

When I had long hair before I started putting the dye on I used to put black bin liner across my shoulders (like a cape:) ) - then the hair could rest on the bin bag - no dye on skin or clothes, and just chuck the bin liner in the bin when finished!!:)

The Lads will be glad to get rid of any signs of make up after the weekend.... we have all kinds of hand cream available.... anti dermo stuff and the wipes might compliment their ugly features. Not! :D Maybe I can get them to wear leotards and say nice things to each other. :D

Glad you are sorted though.... ignore my stupid sense of humour and have a fantastic weekend.... I bet the pain will be worth it. ;)

This might sound abit :suspect:
BUT if you damp some cotton wool with water and then dip it in some fag ash ewwwwww I know what you are all thinking,this will get rid of any staining on your skin from hair dye.
Trust me it works have been using it for years both at home and years ago when I had my own salon
:D:

ive heard that too. but i normally use a bit of nail varnish remover on some cotton wool- probably not very good for my skin- but it does the trick! lol

think yourself lucky

i used to dye mine green


for years

the last time i dyed my hair... deep red (scarlet almost) highlights it looked brill... until the sun got to it... two sunny weekends later it turned bright orange... not that their is anything wrong with orange... but it doesn't really suit me or my skin colour...

oh well i'm going blue next time... at least when that fades it will go grey which will look kinda cool...

when i first got mine done it did same so now i use the ones from rocky horror shop, use the poppy red with a little bit of rubine and a little bit of fuscia pink and it makes it a gorgeous deep red colour and lasts bit longer too, it also fades through pink rather than orange. when uve done t a few times tho the colour lasts longer.

Hiya Hazel, I used to dye my hair frequently and as a result most of my bathroom has the stains of dye splattered around the room, plus my carpet in my bedroom is also stained.

I wish I knew about the babywipes idea as it would of saved me alot of tissues and towels.

I would always get one of my really old towels and wear an old T'shirt and secure the towel around my shoulders and neck like how they do in the hairdressers, then I would attempt to dye my hair, nevertheless I'd still get it everywhere but less of it would be on me.

Im currently trying to grow out my dark brown now so I can go back to being a blonde, but its really annoying me now because my boyfriend said my roots look grey Ahhhhhhhhhgggggghhhhhh.
