Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML

Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML

Today, I used my hair straightener to attempt to straighten my eyelashes and burned my eyelid. I don't know what's sadder, that fact I thought it would be fun, or that I was stupid enough to think I wouldn't hurt myself. FML

Today, I was reading a magazine while straightening my hair. I got really into this one article until suddenly a huge clump of hair fell on it. I looked up and realized I had burned through the layer of hair I was straightening, leaving me with one layer at ear length and the rest at bra length. FML

Today, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML

Today, I was straightening my hair when I heard this crunching, sizzling sound. Taking the flat iron away, I realized that I had just fused a spider to my hair with the heat. FML

Today, I got burned, all because the toaster scared me while I was holding a pot of boiling water. FML

Today, I was using my new curling iron to curl my hair. I was sitting down. Suddenly I dropped the iron and, as a reflex, I caught it between my bare thighs. FML

Today, I burned myself while cooking, so I asked my mom to get the burn cream while I waited in the kitchen. While I was waiting, I absentmindedly set my hand on the hot stove, earning myself a second burn. FML

Today, my girlfriend asked me to straighten her hair while she did her makeup, even though I’ve never straightened hair before. I burned a length of it off, because I had no idea what I was doing. It’s super obvious from the back, but she’s gone out already. I’m a dead man when she gets home. FML

How much attention does it require to hold something and slowly pull down?

You deserved that one for acting like a brat. I understand being concerned if you think your stylist really isn't paying attention - although most of these comments seem to imply that every hairdresser is an expert and infallible, it's completely possible to go to one who sucks and have bad results. So you should speak up. But you should act like an adult about it, not a five year old.

Ouch. But YDI. Firstly they know What they doing even if it doesn't look dat way. They're experienced. Secondly if u didn't trust them why the hell get em to do. Buy your own iron. Lastly, murphy's law. You try to do something to prove a point and get BURNED! Lmfa0!

Ummm #2, etc - straightening IRON. Curling IRON. That's what they are called. Sorry. Also, I can't tell if the people saying it's ironic/irony are purposely punning. If they are, SO GOOD. I love puns.
