Hair Dye Stained My Tub
My daughter has been asking for blue highlights for a long time. I've done fuschia before for her but never attempted blue. So I bought this product called Splat from Rite-Aid. You can use it with the included bleach (bleach first, then blue dye for intense color) or just blue dye for more subtle blue. I didn't use the bleach...I'm not bleaching an eleven year old's hair. So, I used the blue only on her hair (it washes out after six weeks supposedly). It was a messy process from start to finish. It stained whatever it touched so when some fell on the bathroom counter - blue stain. I used a Mr. Clean Eraser and got most of it off my counter. The shower was another story. Blue splashed everywhere in the water - up the walls and everything! I was rinsing and scrubbing with Soft Scrub and a Mr. Clean Eraser for what seemed like forever. The stains never fully lifted out in some areas. The bottom of the tub has a blue tinge to it. I was SO mad. My daughter was blue stained all down her back, legs, and feet. A lot of scrubbing and she got most of it off her skin where it was diluted with water when it stained (direct blue dye on her skin wouldn't come out which I expected and tried to cover all the bases by applying vaseline first but of course, I missed some spots).
