You decide to dye your hair at home to save money and you have the color you want. However, then you find your hands are covered with dye and also in the hairline. Don't worry, there are many ways to remove dye from your skin, and you can also take a look at some notes to prevent dye from getting on your skin when you dye your hair at home.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Home treatment

1. 

   Remove the dye as quickly as possible. When you are finished dyeing your hair, you need to quickly remove the dye from your hands or the hairline so that the dye does not penetrate the skin. Once the dye is absorbed in the skin, it is very difficult to remove and requires vigorous scrubbing.

2. 

   
   
   Rub baking soda or a baking soda toothpaste. Baking soda effectively removes the active ingredients in the dye, but only with a slight wash off. It acts as a natural cleanser for the skin of the hands and roots.
   • However, if your skin is sensitive, just apply a little baking soda mixed with water to your skin and rub it gently. If your skin is red or irritated, try something different.
   • You can add lemon juice to baking soda and water for a powerful but all-natural cleanser.

3. 

   
   
   Use olive oil, baby oil, or an oil-based moisturizer. Most commercially available dyes are dissolved with oily products and help cleanse the skin. Olive oil, baby oil or oil-based moisturizers are all good at removing dye, especially if you have sensitive skin.
   • Dip a cotton ball in the oil and apply it to the affected area for a few minutes.
   • Rinse with warm water. Then check to see if the dye is still on your skin. If it does, rub the oil on the stain one more time, but let it soak for longer than the first time before rubbing and rinsing off the oil.
   • Apply baby oil or olive oil to the affected area and leave it on overnight to remove the dye. Cover the pillow with a towel to prevent the dye from sticking to the pillowcase. Then, wash off the oil and dye the next morning with warm water.

4. 

   
   
   Combine dish soap and detergent. Its detergent properties will quickly remove the dye. However, it can be too strong with delicate facial skin. Therefore, use unscented dishwashing liquid on your face if you have sensitive skin.
   • Add a little detergent to a damp cloth and rub it over the dyed skin. If you think the detergent is too strong for your skin, put a small amount of dish soap in a towel and rub it over your skin.
   • If redness or irritation occurs, discontinue use immediately.
   • Soap can dry out the skin. Remember to apply moisturizer immediately after washing it.

5. 

   Try hair spray or vinegar. Both of these options have been found to remove dye from the skin. Hair sprays and vinegar can exfoliate dead skin cells including dyes and give new skin layers the appearance of an exfoliating product.
   • Use a cotton ball to apply some hair spray or vinegar to the dye on your skin. Rub in a circle to remove the dye.
   • Then do the same a few more times if needed.
   • If skin irritation or redness occurs, discontinue use immediately and use something lighter.

6. 

   Avoid using harsh cleaning products like nail polish remover. Nail polish remover contains some ingredients that are too strong for the skin, especially delicate facial skin. Instead, use a sensitive skin method like the oil method. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Use specialized products

1. 

   Buy a specialized dye remover. If you can't get rid of the stubborn dye from your skin, try buying a store-bought dye remover. Many stores sell dye removers that remove the color from your hair as well as any dyes that are on your clothes and on your skin.

2. 

   Remove the dye with a wet paper towel. A simpler way is to find dyed wet paper towels at import shops. This product is able to remove any dyes from the skin without irritating the skin.

3. 

   Ask your barber about a specific dye remover. The barber can recommend a dye remover that is suitable for your skin and based on the type of dye you apply to your hair.Ask them for advice, but be prepared to hear them gossip for not coming to their place to dye their hair! advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Avoid getting the dye to stick to the skin

1. 

   Wear gloves when dyeing hair. The first step to avoiding the dye from sticking to the skin is to prepare all the items before dyeing. Buy a pair of plastic gloves or nylon gloves to protect your skin. Spread plastic or newspaper to protect the area of ​​the floor you use to dye, and wear old clothes so you don't have to worry about staining.
   • After dyeing your hair, use a nylon hood to protect your hair and prevent the dye from sticking to your skin or clothes.

2. 

   Apply an oily product to the roots before dyeing. Another great tip is to make your own at-home skin protection and apply it to your hair roots so that the dye won't stick to your skin.
   • Use Vaseline, an oily lotion or lip balm. Apply the product around the hairline, behind the ears, and on the back of the neck, so the dye does not penetrate the skin easily in this area.
   • Vaseline cream has a great keep-warm effect, so you don't have to worry about dry skin.

3. 

   Try natural hair dyes. Natural hair dyes like henna are usually easier to remove than conventional products. Most henna dyes will dissolve after 48 hours and do not contain any harmful ingredients that affect the skin. advertisement
