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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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, 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 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 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 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, 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 got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Props to you for going to a stylist. But as a cosmetologist. Going blonde is NOT easy. You WILL wind up with damaged hair that will need to be cut and orange. Dark colors pull warmer. Hence the orange. Simple toning with remove the orange color. But we are stylists not magicians. You can't expect to go from dark brown to blonde in one setting and your hair be perfectly healthy and fine and blonde. It just doesn't happen. Any time you lighten you hair it damages it a lot. Trust me. Been there. That's why I had to cut mine off. So I'm sorry you expected to just be blonde right away. The stylist should have gone over the outcomes that could happen.

As a stylist, there's no 100% sure way to know how a client's hair will react to lightener. We have educated guesses but still. You will definitely need to lighten your hair again as others have already said and a conditioning treatment. But I wouldn't do the lightener yourself and have it professionally done mostly because you can damage your hair even more without even realizing it. But that's just my professional recommendation.

Don't feel too bad I bleach mine once a year and the last time I did I set my hair on fire. I am very near sighted and held the blow drier a little too close lol. But if it was "professionally" done, get a refund.

I've gone from black to blonde, at home with a box kit, and never gone orange. I'd get a refund.

Put blue food coloring in your shampoo to cancel out the orange.

Blue food colouring is not a substitute for toner.....

Eek, I'm sorry! I'd find a different stylist and see what they suggest.
