Dyeing your hair can possibly leave a ugly stain on the hands if after washing the hair. Read these steps to take to remove hair dye stain from your hands using the simplest items from your home.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  1. Step 1

    Use nail polish remover. Okay so it only states that is for use for removing nail color but believe it or not, it actually works for hair dye stains too. Use a cotton ball or a dry cloth to damp the nail polish remover with. Rub on your skin for a few times and the stain start to vanish.

  2. Step 2

    Try rubbing alcohol. Use a cotton ball and put a few drops of the rubbing alcohol on skin to wash the dye away. If necessary try it a few more times to make sure the stain is completely gone.

  3. Step 3

    Check toothpaste. Toothpaste is a home remedy for so many things including removing dye stains as well. Get an toothbrush you no longer use and damp the bristles with warm water. Put a small portion of toothpaste on stained skin and scrub the toothbrush against it (not too rough). If you see a darker color on the toothbrush, the stain is starting to come off.

  4. Step 4

    Use soap. The tried and true remedy definitely works if nothing else will--use a towel, Lava soap and very warm water. Lather the soap on the stained area and start washing the stain off with a towel. Repeat the process two to three times for good results.
