starring Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I seemed not to notice a big glop of red candle dye got on my hand and then I rubbed my hair. Ack, now I have a red splotch in my bangs and all over my hand. Soap and shampoo and scrubs have not helped!I can't be the only one to have ever done this, lol . . . .

Pam W Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 Dye always comes off my skin with soap after a couple washings...the hair - haven't done that one yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celicagtca Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 GOO GONE!!!!! Is the BOMB! As soon as you spray it on the dye spot, it immediately starts to drip off your skin. Excellent, Excellent Product! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatinDucky Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I don't know about hair since i haven't had that happen, but try a bit of FO. It takes it off the skin instantly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGirl Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 definitely try the FO -- sure to take permanent coloring off of everything you didn't intend for it to! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizbizzyb Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 I third trying a small amount of FO for the skin....don't know about the hair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starring Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Lol, this is gonna be a funny experiment! I do have Goo Gone, but since that stuff smells rancid, I'll try the fo first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
number2of7 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Heck, with the style these days, your hair should fit right in!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Mineral oil will work too and it is cheaper then fo. If the stain is deep in your skin then bleach and water will take it right off. The hair I don't know, if it is really bad I think Sally's has a hair color remover. It is the stuff hairdressers use on your skin if they get hair dye off your forehead, neck and ears... you know maybe it will work on hair too?? If not then I think it would eventually wash out or you could just color or recolor your hair, like it never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverSoyed Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Just do your entire head... you might start a trend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starring Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Yeah, the thumbprint dyed fushia bangs - very attractive, lol!I haven't tried anything tough on the hair yet, I don't think I have mineral oil, but will look around. I can try a stripper on my hair if nothing else works. Course, my pretty highlights will go then too, lol.I can just see my hair stylists face if I walked in like this!

OverSoyed Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ya never know.... she/he might like the style, and take photos for a fashion magazine. You're mistake might land you on the cover of Vogue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debscent Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Try wiping your hair with baby wipes, you may have to section it off (like you would to blow dry, curl or flat iron). I wipe my hands with baby wipes after a day of candle making, and it works very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScentsandMore Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Have you tried washing your hair with shampoo yet? I know when the dye does not come off of my hands from washing with soap and water, if I was my hair it takes the rest of the dye off of my hands.

mizbizzyb Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 Pink is the worst for me...It seems to last a few hours. But I wash my hands frequently. Normally two washes and the other dyes are gone.How is the color doing today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pamperme Posted June 2, 2008 Share Posted June 2, 2008 Alcohol Hand Sanitizer. It takes a Sharpie off a white board...and off the skin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erinmfritz Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Try alcohol for your hair, I had a friend call me asking how to get sharpie out of her daughters hair (red & green), root to end that her friend colored in. I told her to try the alcohol and it worked great!!! Worth a try for candle dye (although I am not willing to try it out for you, LOL) As for your hands, I just use a little melted wax and it works like a charm, I usually have a small amount left after pouring and that is what I use. Whatever you try, I hope it works for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everglowcandlesandgifts Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 GOO GONE!!!!! Is the BOMB! As soon as you spray it on the dye spot, it immediately starts to drip off your skin. Excellent, Excellent Product!Goo Gone is amazing for everything! I don't know if it's a good idea to put on your skin though, it's pretty strong. But i suppose if it's that bad you can take off some of your skin lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's sensitive, I wouldn't try it :embarasse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
