Today, I bleached my hair for the new school year. Instead of blonde, it came out orange, making my hair look like a bloated pumpkin. 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 made the decision to lighten my hair from dark brown to blonde. I thought the stylist knew what she was doing, but I ended up with my hair fried off and orange. FML
Today, yet again, I had to dye my hair brown in advance of the new school year, because my school doesn't allow "unapproved" colors, even if they're natural. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde using a DIY kit I found online. As I was washing out the dye, I realized my hair had turned bright orange. I had to wear a hat all day to avoid being seen in public with a Johnny Rotten fright-wig. FML
Today, I decided to bleach my hair but then my mom got mad and put my hair in a bun after helping bleach it. Mind you, it is currently blonde orange and black and I don't think it worked, and my hair is fried. 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, 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, after wasting $60 and 3 hours of my time getting my hair dyed to get rid of the ugly orange tint it had from the last time I got my hair dyed, it turned out to be the exact same color I started with. I go on vacation in 6 days and hate my hair. I'm not looking forward to taking pictures, that’s for sure. FML
Today, I walked into school confident about the new hair color I'd had done over the weekend. My drama teacher apparently dyed her hair the same color; everyone noticed and thought I'd copied her. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

everyone's hair goes through the orange stage when you bleach it. from black to the palest blonde, the undertones are blue, blue violet, violet, red violet, red, red orange, orange, yellow orange, yellow and then pale yellow. you probably didn't leave it in long enough, didn't use a strong enough developer, or you just need to do it again. i would recommend getting it done by a professional though, because you can seriously **** up your hair if you've lost too much strength and moisture and you try to do it again.

Yeah. See.. here's how it works. Bleach is Bleach Hair Dye is Hair Dye Bleach goes BENEATH hair dye. It lightens hair and strips it at the same time. Which makes it easy for the hair dye to grab hold.. Making it harder to wash out. >_> Unless you're an already light light blonde bleach is going to make your hair orange. No matter how many times you bleach it.. Notice how even super famous rich people still have dark roots at least two and half inches from their head? Yeah. Healthy hair.. doesn't strip it's color until it's coarse..

the same thing happened to me about a month ago. was in germany with friends and they decided that i should try to fit in so we tried to color my hair blonde. what happened was that i became ginger and when i came back home all my friends and family laughed at me for being ginger but i didnt want to cut my hair so i had to continue dealing with it

That's why you dye over it, preferably in a darker colour. Bleach strips the colour out of your hair, whereas colours like brown just add pigment.

That's why you leave it to professionals. And if it was a professional, dear god.
