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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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?

That sucks - was she able to do anything about it?

Honestly? You get what you pay for. if you're going into a place that's $20 less than a stylists place that's been around for 20+ years, you're going to get what you just did. Really sucks, but don't risk your hair!

same thing happened to me! I walked into my friends house and she goes "I'm fixing you!"

Ive made this mistake myself but i would never expect this to happen in the hands of a professional. However mistakes like these make you see what you look like with wild hair. I was once orange, and loved it. kept it for months!

Orange isn't bad either, Donald trumps looks orange too.

Strand Test ! Every time! Go to a color specialist. Choosing the right chemicals, shade and tone to go with your hair type and skin is tricky. Add previous chemical use and it gets really complicated fast. Not all salons keep a big array of colors and products in stock to correct every hair situation like a color specialist will. Instead of trying to make what they have work, you'll get the exact product you need for your individual problem. Till then say you wanted a change and rock it and have fun with it. At least you still have hair!

Omg that's terrible! And this sadly is why I choose to do my own hair, I went to a stylist once, she made me buy the dye before I came in, (at a store..) and then did nothing of what I had asked. I ended up having to pay double what was promised, and then I had to go buy the dye again, so I could do it on my own. Guess which one was a better result? Lol

OP, I HAVE BEEN BLEACHING MYOU HAIR FOR 6 YEARS, MY HAIR ISN'T SUPER DAMAGED AND IT'S NOT ORANGE. HMU IN THE MESSENGER AND I CAN TELL YOU EXACTLY WHAT TO DO TO FIX IT WITH SIMPLE, AT HOME PRODUCTS. BEEN THERE. DONE THAT....IT IS ALWAYS BEST WHEN LIGHTENING TO GO 2 SHADES AT A TIME THO, SAY YOUR A DARK BROWN/4N, THEN GO TO A MEDIUM BROWN, 6N, THRN MEDIUM BLONDE, 8N. ALWAYS USE SOMETHING WITH A "N" (NEUTRAL) BASE UNTIL YOU GET IT WHERE YOU WANT IT SO U DON'T HAVE ORANGE/GREEN TINTED HAIR. GOOD LUCK. SORRY OP.

She should have known better it takes a while to healthily get your hair from dark brown to blonde but in the meantime you should buy a hair mask the joico reconstructor is a good one and also once a week out coconut oil in your hair and sleep and wash it out in the morning that will help your hair get healthy and try to avoid excessive heat on your hair (I'm a licensed cosmetologist) and have gone through something not quiet similar lol

That's your fault though because that means you previously dyed your hard the dark brown color. It's a process to get all that dye out of your hair so you should have expected it to turn out orange. I know through experience, it's not the stylist fault. But for frying your hair off he/she's stupid
