do not, I repeat, DO NOT, ever try to dye your peach fuzz, like I just did. My face is currently stinging like a b*tch from getting all the dye stains off my face. And at the end of that, there's absolutely no effect anyway. LFMF.

Did you use hair products, or an item intended for this purpose such as beard/facial hair dye?   

Reminds me of last halloween when I dyed my father's mustache bright green. He sported it for one day. It was pretty funny.

Stick to semi-permanent. Permanent hair dyes are strong and have a weak bleach in them. They dye your scalp too when you use them. Do some research or something next time.

It was hair dye left over from dying the hair on top of my head. The stuff I used to get the dye stains off is what's making it hurt, not the dye itself.

WHat did you try to use to get the stains out...

because hair dye itself can sting a lot.

First milk, because I read somewhere it worked. It didn't. Then soap. Then toothpaste. Then just scrubbed it until it came off. The scrubbing did it, it didn't hurt before.

i tried mascara on my 'stache once. not such a good idea either. don't feel bad, and thanks for the warning.

Good advice and a good laugh. Would make for a short comic strip...

Once my dad tried to bleach his hair...and it was the wrong stuff...it was bright orange XD

Lotion, aloe vera, and about 7 and a half hours later, still stinging. I am an idiot. Lol.

dying works for me. It takes 2 days for it to leave the skin but the hair remains dyed.

You live, you learn.     For future reference, dandruff shampoo often works well for getting hair dye off of skin. 

When I was in 10th grade, I used to do the mascara trick on my chin fuzz, you just have to keep the element from touching your skin and only drag it across the hair.. No pain..

I used rogaine on my face in the past, then dyed the resulting hair with just for men's dye that is meant for the face/beard. Didn't hurt.

It worked? *looks up how expensive rogaine is* *reminds self he's taking his gf out for valentine's day and can't spare money* lol.

The beard and moustache stuff works.  Trick is to only leave it on for the brief 5 minutes they recommend. I got into something online once and left it on longer and yeah the skin stain was not so good.  But if I wait 5-10 min max it comes right off.

I use it because there are a few areas on my face where the hairs are lighter, and makes it look patchy.  The dye helps fill it in.  Never tried it on peach fuzz.  Used to shave that stuff off.

I was under the understanding that Rogaine shouldn't be used on faces?

I think I may try some of that on my goatee.  Most of it has come in blond, so it doesn't show up except under very bright lights.    Believe it or not, I've got a good half-inch going in my avatar photo.

Post some pictures!

I've been tempted in the past to dye my peach fuzz. I'm glad you did it first.
