Let's call this hypothetical....

ToshaGirl

Let's say..... a person was so desperate to get their roots done (and their stylist wasn't available) that they did them themselves for the first time.

Let's then say... that they got the stuff on their face. Lots.

Let's then say...they need to be somewhere soon and cannot figure out how to get it off and are a bit desperate right now.

What would you tell them about how to get it OFF their skin?!?!?

Erm...hypothetically speaking of course.

hypothetically speaking, I might suggest they look for cold cream or other heavy-duty makeup remover.

or call the 1-800-number on the package. Not that I would know about those things - these marvellous highlights are 110% natural, baby.

let's just say... GOOD LUCK with that..

oh, and, hypothetically speaking, I might look into really heavy makeup for the evening. Or maybe a darkened room..

Oh jeez. LOL. This happened to, um, someone I know, not me of course. It actually happened at the salon (read: giant glob no one saw for 30 minutes...what?!) All the stylist did was take a towel, wet it, load it with soap...and SCRUBBED. It mostly disappeared. mostly. That was what I heard anyways. Good luck!

ToshaGirl

Well thanks girls!

Great suggestions for you know - when and if that ever happens.

Carefully applying rubbing alcohol?  I think it removes color.

Well, "someone I know" once made a mess with the self tanner and scrubbing really hard with soap & a washcloth really helped. 

Good luck to this person in getting it off.

Yes. I'll tell her.

I need to get rid of my "natural highlights" every 3-4 weeks, and stain very easily. I end up looking like I have helmet head with a very low hairline, anyway, I just read that the astringent Seabreeze will take color of your skin, that is if you hypothetically had some on your skin. I used it after my last appt and it worked! Good luck.

At the store, cvs, walgreens etc, they see hair color remover, that takes it off your skin, you can also try alcohol wipes!

Cat, you should buy a bottle of toner for your face - one with a bit of alcohol - keep it near by in case someone you know ever gets hair color on their skin.

Not that I have any experience with it.  I am just assuming this would work

xoxo!

A little birdie told me they tried toner. And it didn't work.

Someone once told me shampoo would do the trick. ?I, however, have no idea if that is true!

I second Seabreeze! And if the person hasn't already gotten the stuff off her (hypothetical) skin, I'd say don't scrub too hard--I got a blob of color on my forehead at a salon once and they scrubbed my skin so hard with a washcloth that I left with a big open wound instead!

I used to color my sister's hair all the time... and... I'm not great at it... LOL

Sea Breeze or Cold Cream worked on her....  She has dark hair w/ some gray (to cover).
