After mass can you wipe the ashes off of your forehead or are you supposed to leave them on for the day?

There is no real rule on this one. Most Catholics choose to leave the ashes on their head the entire day, and many people at my parish (including myself) choose this route and wipe them off before bed.

What happens at mass on ash Wednesday?
At the Ash Wednesday Mass, there will be a standard liturgy. Unlike typical masses, you will receive a cross of ash on your forehead and the Priest will usually say, "Remember, O man, that you are dust, and unto dust you shall return" (Genesis 3:19). This is to symbolize the Ancient Near East tradition when people would toss ashes over their heads to receive repentance from God. Many people still leave the ashes on their foreheads until it fades away, however, it's becoming more and more popular to wash the ash off after the Mass. The act of placing ashes on the faithful's head is not a sacrament, but rather sacramental so you do not have to be Catholic to receive it. Hope this helps!
