Question:
I am stupid. I dyed my hair and it turned out pale orange blonde yesterday, so today I had to fix it so bought MYHD in Dark Beige Blonde with developer 30, and then realised I had no gloves, dammit!
So I just tried to use a brush but it didn't get INTO the hair properly so I had to use my hands, and...well, now my hands are a deep plum/brown shade, and mainly around the fingernail beds and the nails themselves are totally dyed!
I tried shampoo, exfoliant, cleanser, conditioner, soap, liquid soap, nail polish remover...yeah. HELP!!!! I don't mind the nails so much...I have a feeling I may be stuck with it till they grow out, but I can wear nail polish to hide it till this happens. I am much more concerned about the skin around the nails...looks like I have frostbite and the finger tips are gonna fall off any second! I didn't think it'd be this bad, cause I always get colour around my neck, forehead, ears and shoulders, and it's always come out easily just in the shower with normal soap and shampoo. *moan*
Also, and this is the really annoying part, the "medium beige blonde" came out almost BLACK on my hair! It wasn't as if my hair was dark before! Not in the slightest! It was way too light, which is why I didn't pick a lighter dye colour...but medium beige blonde...how can it come out purple/black!?!?!?

Answer:
Try putting some perfume on a cotton ball and rubbing on the dye stains. The alcohol will take the stains away.

Answer:
Nah, thanks but it did nothing. LOL. I think that's it for me. I'm doomed. I already tried methylated spirits before, which I thought was pure alcohol, and it did nothing as well.
I even tried some MYHD colour remover mixed together, and that did nothing. I guess it only removes colour from hair, not skin. LOL.
Oh well. At least my thumb smells of lovely perfume now. Heheh.

Answer:
Apparently if you are really desperate cigarette ash?
Read that on best beauty secrets thread.

Goodluck

Answer:
Oh boy, ash. LOL. I don't smoke anymore. Blegh! If it still hasn't come off in a week, then I'll do it. LOL. But I'm not smoking a damn cigarette for it though! It's not worth it!

Answer:
Have you tried bleach?

Answer:
Yeah, it didn't do anything either, weirdly. It also stung my hands. I've actually tried both Domestos cleaner, cream cleanser, and this mould off spray (which bleaches clothes and towels in minutes, and smells SO strongly of bleach), as well as mixing a bit of hair powder bleach and peroxide...nothing!!

Answer:
a hairdressed told me hairspray!!! bu by the sounds of it, its not oging to work!! Good luck tho

Answer:
lemon essence (if you have any around the kitcken) or maybe some turps but i dont know, i would really think lemon essence would work, i use it at work when dumba***s use permant pen on the whiteboard!

Answer:
when I was hairdressing I would use perm solution to get off my hands...but it stings and smells.
Cigarette ash is the next best option. I got one of my friends to ash into a little freezer bag and kept it when I used to colour my hair dark.
How is your hair colour now? When trying to tone hair if too gold orange, I would only use 10 or 20% developer.
