Step 1: Act quickly after hair dye gets on your hands.
The dye will take a few minutes to pigment your skin.
Even if the dye has begun to set, the sooner you treat it, the easier it will be to remove.
Your skin is made up up layers, and as the dye seeps into your skin, it will dye it layer by layer.
If you allow the dye to sit on your hands, it will be able to dye more layers of your skin, and deeper layers of your skin.
If the dye is allowed to stain the deep layers of your skin, it will likely take harsh measures to remove, which may damage your skin. -
Step 2: Squeeze non-gel toothpaste into your hands and scrub.
Toothpaste has abrasive agents that scrub your teeth, and these will exfoliate your skin.

If your hands are still stained, try scrubbing again, only this time add a pinch of baking soda. , This is an especially helpful method if you have sensitive skin.
The oils will slowly dissolve and break down the dye while simultaneously softening and conditioning your skin.
Rub the oil over your hands using a cotton ball or a damp washcloth.
The oil may ruin your sheets if you touch them while you sleep, so try wearing gloves or even clean socks on your hands while you sleep.
