HAIR DYE MISHAP
okay so I was so excited to dye my hair deep purple with special effects. it's gotten amazing reviews everywhere i go and my sister tried it and it turned out beautifully.
but for some reason, mine not only turned my hair purple, but my entire bathroom and my whole body!! I don't know what happened! I followed the directions; cleaned my hair, let it dry, then I added the hair dye to my hair, and it was super messy. so glad i had gloves. i let it sit in my hair for about 30-45 minutes. then I washed it out in the shower and I noticed right away something was wrong when I opened my eyes and saw that my hands were purple! I closed my eyes and washed as much as I could, used shampoo, wiped down with some dove soap, then got out and left two neat purple foot prints on the bathroom floor.
but my whole body is purple. it's streaked and splattered everywhere!! agh!! even worse, I was sitting there about an hour after my shower, contemplating that it wasn't so bad when I ran my fingers through my hair and the purple came off on my hands!! What do I do?!
