1
Wipe off the hair dye with a wet rag as soon as you notice it. This will likely remove most of the dye if it is still wet, but you may still be left with a stain.
-
2
Moisten a cotton ball with rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover. Rub the cotton ball gently over the stain. Switch to a clean cotton ball and add more alcohol or nail polish remover as necessary until the hair dye is gone.

3
Wash your skin with a rag and warm, soapy water. Pat the skin dry with a clean towel.
-
4
Make a paste of two parts baking soda and one part dish soap into a bowl if the hair dye stain is persistent. Dip a damp rag into the paste and scrub your skin gently until the hair dye is gone. Wipe your skin with a rag and water, then pat dry with a towel.

I cannot thank you enough for your removal tip. I bought a product this morning at my local supermarket - Dontay Vanish 'Removes Hair Colour From Skin' - and innocently vested trust in the product so did not undertake my usual Vaseline around my head/ears/back of neck routine and ended up with an inch wide new-and-interesting hairline. Scrubbed with these wipes - 5 to be exact - and they did nothing. So, Google and your website and baking soda and dishwashing liquid later and I'm stinging a little bit but can take my son out to dinner tonight as planned without worrying about looking like a wanker. Kudos to you.
