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 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?

Well. You can't turn dark brown hair to blonde is one sitting... This takes MONTHS of appointments and patience and hard work. Although she should have had a more thorough conversation with you, at the end of the day, stylists are going to give you what exactly you ask for, whether it will look good or work out or not. You're the customer and they're going to oblige. Just like you can't bring a shit drawing to a tattoo artist and then blame your artist for the tattoo looking like shit when they did it exactly like the picture you brought in. Come on now

This can either by a YDI or a FYL. If you had virgin hair, FYL. If you had previously dyed your hair brown and didn't tell the stylist before hand than YDI

As a hair stylist myself I know how frustrated you must feel but sometimes the client can leave out important details as to what exactly they do to their hair which can end up in a fried orange mess...don't blame the stylist for everything

Definitely post a review on Yelp so that nobody else has to go through the same thing (unless they don't check Yelp).

Complain to the place, shave it all, say it was to raise cancer awareness

Lightener can only lift so many levels at once. The stylist should have explained this before hand. Orange is the undertone at a 6 or 7, so your hair was probably at a 2 or 3 to start with. It shouldn't be fried though. If it is, you should get it trimmed, but you can probably still get blonde from where you're at. Let your hair rest for 2 weeks before putting any more chemicals in it. Good luck!
