Woman in hysterics after her at-home hair dye fail leaves her looking like ‘Barney the Dinosaur’

UNLESS you were one of the lucky few who squeezed a salon appointment in over summer, you’ve probably been cutting and colouring your own hair for almost a year now.

And while we thought we had it bad with our wonky split ends, one woman has put us off box hair dyes forever after she accidentally dyed herself PURPLE.

Posting on Reddit’s Today I F***ed Up forum, the anonymous beauty fan explained how she was trying to dye her hair black at home.

She wrote: “Today I decided to dye my hair black with a semi-permanent dye I bought.

“Black dye is presumably made up of very dark blue and purple shades.”

Although everything was going fine at first, things took a turn when she hopped in the shower to rinse the $8 Amazon dye out of her hair.

She continued: “The dye ran all over my entire body, and unlike previous dyes I’ve used it dyed my skin.

“I spent 30 mins in the shower trying to get it off, but I couldn’t so I am now purple until it comes out or I figure something out.”

The woman claims she dyed her entire body purple while in the shower- and even though her friends said it should fade in a day, she’s stressed about work will think.

“To make matters worse I don’t even like the hair colour and even though it’s supposed to be semi-permanent,” she added. “I’m not that hopeful it’ll ever fully go back to the shade it was before, so it wasn’t even worth it at all.”

After she shared a photo of her purple arm, one member of the forum replied: “Yeah so kinda like Barney.”

“Wow, that’s an intense shade of purple,” another joked. “Maybe Willie Wonka has a temporary job opening.”

Meanwhile, a third joked: “Violet! You’re turning violet, Violet!”

For more epic beauty fails, this woman gave herself a turmeric facial after finding ‘acne tip’ online & turns her entire face ORANGE.

And this woman was horrified with fake tan fail after she ended up dyeing her toenails a gross shade of brown.

Plus the mad new beauty trend is to give yourself EYE BAGS – but people joke they ‘already have them’ and don’t need to ‘fake it’.
