Today, I decided to dye my hair blue. The result is slightly different than I expected: my white bathroom is now blue, and so are my skin and nails. The only thing that isn't blue is my hair, which is now green. FML

Today, I decided to change my hair color. After waiting in anticipation, I took a shower to rinse out the dye and reveal my new, blue hair. Rinsing revealed not only blue hair, but blue skin caused by the watered dye running over my body. I now look like a smurf, and it's not coming out. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
Today, I colored my hair. It was supposed to turn out blonde, but it became more a mix of red and brown and blonde patches. When I tried coloring everything back, a green tint was added. My hair is at the moment red, brown, blonde and green. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I dyed our hair. His hair came out good. My hair, on the other hand, came out splotchy, and instead of dark blue, it came out green. FML
Today, I decided to redye my hair. And the sink, and the wall, and the toilet seat, and the tub. FML
Today, I tried dyeing my hair at home to save some money. I carefully followed the instructions but when I rinsed it off, my hair turned a shocking shade of shiity neon green. Not wanting to leave the house looking like a radioactive toad, I wore a hat and hoped nobody would notice. FML
Today, I decided I wanted to dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML
Today, I tried dying my hair blonde. I put my hair in a bun and waited for it to dye. I guess I did something wrong, because my hair is now 4 different shades of blonde/orange, along with patches of my natural black hair. FML
Today, it's been a month since the hair dye that was supposed to be temporary is still making my hair tropically green, now with some added roots making it look even worse. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

A wild Ivysaur appears.

GO CHARMANDER!!
jazzy_123 20
39, I don't remember much about pokemons but if I do recall correctly, charmander isn't blue... right guys? help me out here.
TheLadyOpal 30
No, but Charmander is the best starter Pokemon for taking out an Ivysaur, so it would make sense to call upon it to deal with one.
TourettesGuyFTW 25
96 - if you don't know much about Pokemon then why comment on it? You just sound like a twat now. Charmander should use flamethrower on you.

Da Ba De Da Ba Di....

I'm blue. Da Ba De Da Ba Di. (skipping to the end). I'm blue, if I were green I'd die. xD (I'm blue by eiffel 65).

101, thanks! I thought he said it cuz the blue hair and such lol it's been years since I was last into pokemon x) 104, I comment on it because I can. I comment on it because I misunderstood. However, you don't have to be an asswipe and call me a twat. If anything, charmander should blow fire up your ass to cool it down a bit.
deviking 10
I'm charmanders fire would do the opposite and heat his as up I think squirrel night work better.
TourettesGuyFTW 25
You're right. Sorry for my abuse Jazzy. I get real serious when it comes to Pokemon. Not really. But I guess we're even now in the name calling department?
patchesOhoolihan 12
104-Charmander doesnt learn flamethrower untill level 37, a fully evolved charizard.
jazzy_123 20
apology accepted. Thank you!
MrCareless 17
How did you manage to do that?
TourettesGuyFTW 25
Maybe OP had yellow hair before. Blue + Yellow = Green!!
Destro109 20
that's what I'm wondering
toasty_narwals 27
Maybe she didn't cover things up as well as she should have. I did that once and I can promise that will never happen again! I learned real quick that red hair dye stains EVERYTHING.
DanielleinDC 33
And it fades really fast. Years of experience have taught me that.
toasty_narwals 27
Yeah which is really unfortunate, I love my red hair.
ItsAUnicorn 27
Simply: the op didn't wore any gloves or covered the bathroom floor/sink with something, and has had blonde hair before so the shade will turn green. Speaking from my own experiences ;)
MrCareless 17
Thanks, I don't have a lot of experience with dying hair, sounds hard :p
cryssycakesx3 22
actually, it sounds like it wasn't left on long enough or she used the wrong thing to wash it out -- extremely hot water, harsh shampoo, ect. speaking from a cosmo license.

Green is nice. Don't tell anyone what your original intention was and everything will be fine. Maybe except for your bathroom.
rocker_chick105 31
Not all shades of green are nice...
JMichael 25
Neither are all shades of gray..
Lilxpie 18
50 shades is all you need of the colour grey, not even 51 or 49.
finalyearsofhate 22
Hair dye like that usually comes out with a bit of bleach and some elbow grease.
\ 28
Or maybe OP's name is secretly Violet Beauregarde.
sirpantselot 22
Or Captain Planet. Blue skin, green hair...

People are going to think you murdered a smurf in there.
Lilxpie 18
Well one smurf berry does give quite a lot of energy. (Hoping people get the reference)
SuckMeBeautifu1 24
@69 South Park :) That bitch Wendy...
Wolvander88 19
Come on, I am sure we have all watched enough of Dexter to know how to proceed before murdering a smurf.
ItsAUnicorn 27
I have blue hair myself and I can confirm that the first time I took a shower after dying my hair, I indeed thought I murdered a smurf..
migmit 11
They are called Na'vi nowadays.

So your hair is envious of the bathroom?
FlickWaffle 30
did you bleach it first??
redmane 21
OP most likely did. Lightened hair goes yellow. When you put yellow and blue together you get green. OP needed to then put a purple toner on her hair to counteract the yellow to make a white/light blonde color, then apply the blue. For bright colors like that, you have to be VERY conscious of the color wheel.
jazzy_123 20
actually no... OP just needs to let it settle then apply more blue. Bleaching the hair just lets the colors settle in better... I bleached the tips of my hair and had em blue. No need do any of that mixing colors fancy shit.

Actually #98, if you knew anything about beauty school besides just dying your own hair you would know what you said is wrong. She's right, you need to be conscious of the color wheel. Plus, with purple, it would've came out better.
Raidriar 14
#98, I don't know anything about beauty school or hair but common sense and a middle school education would've told you to add the opposite color, in this case purple, before proceeding. Though good for you thinking your experience outranks the proper procedure.
jazzy_123 20
well I guess since everyone's hair is different it makes sense haha. I have super thin hair so it makes sense to say I don't need a lot of product in mine. Sorry about that. And no I'm not into the whole hair-beauty-school thing. That's more of my cousin's thing so I'll ask her for help next time lol. I'm the nail tech in the family x)
Lasagnaa 24
Wow. you must hace messed up vadly if your bathroom is blue. But it could be a cute new look :)
TourettesGuyFTW 25
You messed up 'vadly' too... With your spelling.
billiejoeinabox 7
It's only a typo. Like you have never made one.

Maybe #7 is Dracula

You must have done something wrong. . :/

when I dyed my hair blue it went swamp green, you just needed to bleach your hair before. don't worry its easy to fix, Brown goes well over it or if you still want blue hair bleach it away
Alicestraza 33
If she has green hair, she'll need a red dye to cancel out the green. With a brown dye there would still be a green tint to it that gets worse with fading.
mylifeforhire 10
yeah it was a red based dye I used
