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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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, 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 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 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 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 went to get my hair highlighted at the salon. The salonist mixed up my blonde hair dye with some other girl's hot pink and violet dye. Now I look like a cheap hooker. 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 tried doing a hair dye at home for the first time. I misread the instructions and left the dye on for twice the recommended time. Now my hair is the color of a traffic cone and brittle enough to break if I sneeze. FML
Today, in an effort to save money, I dyed my hair at home. I used the wrong shade, or brand, or maybe I shouldn’t have bought a cheap one, but now I look like a mutant traffic cone. My boss asked if I was “expressing myself” or “just having a midlife crisis.” I can’t afford to fix it, so I’m stuck like this for weeks. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

How did you not notice when you mixed the dye and developer? Brown and orange look different.

The color of the dye foesn't look the same as the color ypur hair turns. The kind my hairdresser uses for my brown highlights looks purple.

Ever seen orange dye? Ever seen brown dye? HUGE difference. This person is an idiot. I've dyed my hair both colors before and there's clearly a difference.

Different brands look different. The brown dye I use looks orange when it goes on.. So you're the one being an idiot!

There's so many ways this could have been avoided; Noticing the box was tampered with, noticing the dye was the wrong color, reading the bottle, having it done professionally... Plus it may not be that someone switched it. If you're hair is bleached or treated in any way previously you should have a pro do it. You can easily end up with orange or green hair with cheap dye and no education. Sorry, YDI.

Every hair colour product my mom buys comes in a box that is easy to tamper with without making it obvious. Sure the products inside say what colour they are but you would assume they match the box no? I don't have any experience with hair dye products though so you probably have a point.

my mom also buys hair dye but she is smart and opens the box to check the colour before she buys it. this all could have been avoided. YDI OP.

why should you have to? op didn't deserve this, that was a real ****** up thing to do switching the boxes.

You have to check because immature people think its funny to piss off people buy switching out the colors. It's kind of a random rule of thumb most people know.

At least it was someone else is fault. Usually it's a moronic bimbo trying to go blonde that ends up with an orange head. Don't worry. Some guys like red heads.
