Tricks to get rid of that pesky stain.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Changing your hair color is a pretty fun and easy way to change your look, and it’s often less risky than going for a whole new <\/span>haircut<\/span><\/a>. People have been playing around with hair dyes for ages \u2013 back in the day of Elizabethan England, women were using urine to change their hair color! Thankfully, we’ve come a long way from that, and with modern science, we have way better options for getting the shade we want.<\/span><\/p>\n But here’s the thing \u2013 even with all the advancements, if you’ve ever dyed your hair, you know the struggle of dealing with the stains on your hairline and hands. So, what’s an aspiring hair colorist to do? We’ve got you covered with 13 tips and tricks that might save your skin from the aftermath of a DIY hair dye.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Professional hair coloring is obviously more expensive than buying your favorite color off the shelf, but the benefits are proportionate to the price. Not only will a professional colorist be better able to advise you on the correct color for your look, but they will also be able to protect your skin from becoming stained with hair dye. Sometimes, it\u2019s just worth it to splurge for better quality.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019re not willing or can\u2019t afford to have a professional do your dye job, but you\u2019re wary of hair dye removal methods at home, you could still dye your hair yourself or with a friend at home and then go to a hair salon afterward to ask them to use their professional tricks to removing hair dye. Of course, you\u2019ll have to pay for that, but it won\u2019t be as expensive as dyeing your hair at the salon.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ideal course of action is to avoid stains in the first place by coating your hairline with a layer of petroleum jelly before starting your dye job. Petroleum jelly can also act as a stain-removal agent after dyeing. While petroleum jelly is gentle on your hands and facial skin, you should be careful not to get it in your eyes. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LUNA™ 4<\/span><\/a>\u00a0has taken the skincare world by storm simply because of its efficiency in removing 99% dirt, oil, and\u00a0<\/span>makeup residue<\/span><\/a>\u00a0with its velvety-soft silicone touchpoints.

If you don\u2019t already own some for its principal use, pick up a bottle at your local drugstore or Sephora and start using it. Makeup remover is especially good for removing eye makeup and protecting the sensitive skin around your eyes from\u00a0<\/span>under-eye bags, premature aging, and wrinkles<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n As a remover for hair dye, makeup remover may be able to help you tackle those stains. Apply some to a cotton ball and start rubbing. Wait five minutes before rinsing, and hopefully, that stain will disappear.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is important to keep in mind that from this point on, this list of remedies offers solutions that can be tough \u2013 especially on sensitive skin, so it is recommended not to use them on the face. The following few tips will let you know how to get hair bleach off your hands.<\/span><\/p>\n An effective option is to create a mixture by combining water and baking soda, thoroughly stirring them for proper blending until you make a paste-like texture. The baking soda adds a gentle abrasive quality\u2014although, as mentioned, be careful if you have\u00a0<\/span>sensitive skin<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n By scrubbing away dyed skin cells, baking soda reveals new layers of skin underneath. Apply the mixture to the dye-stained skin, then use a makeup remover pad to gently scrub the solution in a circular motion with light pressure.<\/span><\/p>\n Always avoid eye contact to prevent irritation. After a few minutes of scrubbing, rinse with warm water until the solution is completely removed.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Purchase a new, soft-bristled toothbrush and opt for a non-gel toothpaste for the hair dye removal potential of these everyday items. It’s no surprise that toothpaste, often containing baking soda as a key ingredient, can effectively work as a hair dye remover due to the gentle abrasiveness of baking soda granules (referring to tip number 9).<\/span><\/p>\n Apply a small amount of toothpaste to the dyed skin, using your finger to gently massage it into the skin, ensuring there is a thin, even coat over the whole stain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Depending on your skin’s sensitivity, consider scrubbing with a soft-bristle toothbrush, a makeup remover pad, or a cloth. Alternatively, use your fingers in a circular motion for a soothing massage.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n After scrubbing, rinse the area with warm water, dry it, and repeat the process if necessary<\/span>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Oil can work as an effective hair dye remover because it helps to break up the color, but it\u2019s not too rough or abrasive on the skin. In fact, it can help soften while you scrub. The downside is that oils may not be as effective as more corrosive options, but taking care of your skin is important, even if that means accepting a few minor hair dye stains. It\u2019s best to let the oil sit on your affected skin for as long as possible. Since it\u2019s not corrosive or abrasive, let the oil sit on the stain for 8 hours or more. Sleep on your back and leave the oil soaking overnight, or apply it on your next day off. If you wear the oil to sleep, try covering it with clean cotton fabrics like a headband or bandages to keep it from staining your pillowcases and sheets. If you\u2019re applying the oil to your hands, wear gloves to bed. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n1. Go to a hair salon<\/strong><\/h2>\n
2. Professional dye removal<\/strong><\/h2>\n
3. Petroleum jelly<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nBegin by gently rubbing petroleum jelly into the stain. Massage it into the skin using your fingertips until the stain starts fading away. You may notice the petroleum jelly turning the color of the dye it removes – that means it\u2019s working! You can also apply the petroleum jelly using a makeup remover pad to prevent the dye from transferring to your hands.<\/p>\n
\nRemove the petroleum jelly with a clean, wet washcloth.
\nIf that gets rid of the hair dye stain, then great. If not, you can apply petroleum jelly and let it sit and soak into the skin, even allowing it to sit overnight. If you wear petroleum jelly to sleep, try covering it with clean cotton fabrics like a headband or bandages to keep it from staining your pillowcases and sheets. If you\u2019re applying the jelly to your hands, simply wear gloves to bed.<\/p>\n4. Use Facial Cleansing Device: LUNA™ 4<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n
5. Makeup remover <\/strong><\/h2>\n
6. Baking Soda and Water<\/strong><\/h2>\n
<\/h2>\n
7. Toothpaste & Toothbrush<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n
8. <\/strong>Baby oil or olive oil<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n
\nTo try the oil method, coat the stained area of the skin with oil. Rub in with your fingers. (Do we have to remind you again not to get it in your eyes?)<\/p>\n
\nInstead of dabbing with a warm washcloth, rinse with running water. Apply a little extra soap or shampoo to help remove the oil from your skin entirely.
