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?

Did you were blonde before? This would explain the green color (blue + yellow = green). In every dye pack you should find some plastic gloves, or a manufacturer that respect him and his clients should provide a pair.

The only brand that comes in a box with gloves and bleach is Splat. The others I know of are all standalone containers.

Obviously you didn't do it right. You have to basically bleach your hair white before you can dye it a color like that. YDI for not doing your research, OP.

Use towels to cover the sink and dye your hair over that. Use gloves to put the dye in your hair and when you're washing it out. I use a rat tail comb to distribute the dye throughout my hair. Also if your hair is heavily pigmented (dark blonde, brown, black, etc), you MUST bleach it first. Depending on your hair and the color, there's 10 vol, 20 vol, 30 vol and 40 vol, they are more damaging the higher the number, check the lightening packet to see how much it lightens (1 shade, 3 shades, 7 shades, etc), and stay within the brand. I would go to a professional to bleach your hair, unless you know what you're doing or willing to take the risk. If you are, there are lots of guides online. Your hair must reach a light blonde color, any orange( if your hair is dark, I don't know about lighter colors) means you have to lighten more, otherwise it won't come out right, then heavily condition with something that has protein. Wait a day or two before dying your hair whatever color to give your hair a break. This is a simple outline, you should probably research, especially with the bleach. I wonder if this OP will come back and comment. Good luck!

this is why in cosmetology school they teach what is called color theory. if you bleach brown hair and it turns orange, you use purple to correct. all kinds of little rules like this but I have no idea about blue/green lol
