Health, Embarrassing and Haircut: I WISH!

I WISH!

Today, I let my friend bleach my hair, which resulted in it falling out in clumps. I spent $150 at the beauty salon fixing it and cutting most of it off. I sent the pictures of my new hair to my friends, and I got the same reply from each and every one of them: "That better be a wig." FML

Today, I let a friend cut my hair. I soon went from having a 'fro to looking like I lost a fight with a lawn mower. FML

Today, I decided I wanted to bleach my hair, so I asked my mother for help. Apparently, something went wrong, because clumps of my hair started falling out. Now I'm half blonde and half bald, and my mom is just laughing at me. FML

Today, I was scrolling through my Instagram timeline and saw a picture of my friend in a ridiculous wig. I left a comment telling her how stupid the wig looked, but how great it was to have a friend with a sense of humour. She replied, telling me it wasn't a wig, it was her new hairstyle. FML

Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML

Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML

Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. 45 painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML

Today, I let my friend who is in 'beauty school' do my hair. I now look like i have a mullet. What was supposed to be auburn highlights is now hot pink. I have a job interview in the morning. FML

Today, I bleached my hair. Not only did it fry, it also has a very noticeable green tint and because of the damage, I can't dye it again for a while. Now I keep getting asked "Why so serious?" by my friends. FML

Today, I had to get my hair chopped off for a role that I'm playing in a show. I was staring at the floor while the woman cut my hair, and I suddenly heard her start crying. Her tears were immediately followed by "It's okay! I have a friend in New York who can fix it. We won't charge you." FML

Today, my friend compared my hair color to hers. Also, she braided my hair (two pieces) with hers (one piece). I asked her why and she finally broke down and told me. She has lice and didn't want to be the only one. FML

And that's why you leave it to the professionals in the first place...

Damn, OP. What the hell kind of bleach did you use? Aren't you supposed to use stuff that's... specifically for hair? I wouldn't know, I've never tried.

Maybe they tried to save it? My friend had a disaster colouring ones and they had to use a lot of different products to get the colouring out of the hair to prevent more damage to the skin and hair.

Lesson learned OP. What did your friend do, use cleaning bleach from your cleaning supplies?? Either that, or your hair was already too far ****** up to begin with to fall out in clumps.

I know of a few people who have had clumps fall out! It's quite disgusting but it can happen if you leave it on your head to long. I once dyed my hair blonde and I was able to snap the ends of my hair off! I wasn't blonde long...

Bleach comes in different strengths. OP probably used one that was too strong for their hair. If someone used cleaning bleach they'd know straight away something's not right.

I wouldn't exactly know, bleach isn't my thing..from what I've seen it looks unnaturally gross either way.

I'm guessing your hairstyle looked like Miley Cyrus when you were done cutting it. You're just the male version of the bad haircut.

Why did you let your friends bleach your hair? Always get stuff like that done professionally!!!

If I was your friend I would say that it looks nice, just to raise your confidence. Having ugly hair especially as a girl lowers your self-esteem drastically.

Spend the money on a professional next time before letting your untrained friend touch your hair. Bald is beautiful though.

Something similar happened to me. Except, my friend was an aspiring cosmetologist who was actually pretty good. She decided to cut off my really long hair into a mullet (I had no idea. I wasn't allowed to look. I had asked for bangs and layers) then only bleached half of it. I have no idea why she did it, but it was on purpose. I didn't get it fixed, because all they would have done is shave my head. So, I kept it. That was two years ago and my hair is just now looking completely normal. She and I are no longer friends. Be happy that they could fix it. And that your friend simply made an honest mistake. Also, let's stick to the unbiased professionals.
