Gibbonsgal, where can I find GooBeGone?

I *think* GooBeGone is just on the regular cleaning supply/soap/detergent aisle of a grocery store. Like I said it's a small bottle so you may have to search for it on the shelf. Happy Cleaning!

Thanks all! Unfortunately, 33 girl, I tried the astringent thing--it didn't work! BUt then I tried Rubbing Alcohol--and it works a BIT.
I guess the stain isn't coming off! Luckily my mom didn't notice--yet. Yikes.

How about acetone or something like that?
Or Dutch Miss or Dutch Boy (scratchy like AJAX).
Or something creamy like VIM?
Sounds like you've tried the full gamut.

Caity, I dyed it supposedly a medium golden brown!! Guess what color it turned out to be! A DARK DARK DARK black!  As you know, my natural hair color is black, but this black is making my skintone look kinda dead! Oh well. I'm thinking of putting in highlights maybe! Will keep you posted!!

Hey Newbie--
As a rule, boxed dyes won't lighten your hair as they have little/no peroxide. They'll deposit color, but not lighten. To lighten you'd need to go to a beauty supply and get developer and dye and do it like that.

Oops! My bad! Vim is a creamy cleanser, which is a bit abrasive, used for cleaning the tub, etc. and it is in Canada. I guess I assumed that in the USA, you have Vim, too.
I live in Canada, but I am sure that Vim is in USA, but maybe they call it something different (sometimes for Marketing, they have 2 different names for the same product for Canadian consumers and American consumers).  For example, Kellogg's cereal "Smart Start" in the USA is called "Vector" in Canada. Strange, huh?

i had a question concerning highlights. What color would you get highlights if you have black hair without it looking fake? I am just wondering- i myself have dark hair- not black but very dark brown. Last summer i got highlights and they were pretty well done.

Good luck gibbonsgal!! Haha, this is funny--seems like we're all in the hair-dyeing mode at the same time!!!!
I'm dying my naturally light-brown hair a gorgeous dark red . It's showing roots now, so I'm touching up--waiting 25 minutes for it to devleop--so i'm spending those minutes on GC!!!!!
Gibbonsgal, tell us how it turns out!
BUcutie--I hope Newbie or someone else w/dark hair can help you out, too, but I heard that auburn highlights and copper highlights are the best for people w/dark brown/black hair!

Everyone's "good luck" must have helped. My hair is looking ok...much much different then my last 2 years as a plat. blonde. The color kinda evened out and looks if anything like a few blonde highlights and some redish looking stuff at my scalp also. Thank goodness I have off this Fri and Mon for Easter and can fix anything I decide to...
