Today, my mom came over to visit and permed my hair. Ten minutes after she started, I told her it was burning. She told me to suck it up because it doesn't hurt that badly. I now have scabs all over my scalp, hairline, and nape. 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, after spending a week detangling my hair (It took a week because my hands have nerve issues) because it felt like my scalp was glued to my scalp from not being taken care of, I cut it all off. My hair got tangled in the device twice and eventually revealed a burn on my scalp. 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 decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML
Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML
Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. FML
Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML
Today, after spending 2 years growing out my hair, rubbing in oils to make it strong and healthy so I could shave it off and donate to a cancer charity to make wigs, I had a mishap at work with a car's cracked petrol tank. I now have 2nd degree facial burns and like 90% of the hair is burned away. FML
Today, my dad set my hair on fire while cooking. He then tried to convince me that it spontaneously combusted. FML
Today, my mom noticed the hickey that I have on my neck. Embarrassed, I tried convincing her that I burnt myself using a hair straightener. She then told me that that's the same excuse she told my grandma when she got a hickey. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate parents that say suck it up. My best friend in high school lost his kidney because he was told to suck it up. He sued his parents for neglect, won and took the out of state scholarship.

I do my own hair, but perming isn't something I would do at home. Actually, it's not something I would do at all, but that's just me, and I tend to look like a poodle when my hair is curly. Maybe you should let your mom practice (on her own head) before trying it again, because doing hair does take quite a bit of practice before you're good at it, and trust me, many mistakes will be made. At one point, in my early hair-doing days, I had bleached my hair to the point that when I got out of the shower, I could grab a handful, and literally pull it out with no effort at all. It just came right out. My hair is healthy again though, and hopefully your skin will be too, soon.

It may not be that serious, but it hurts like hell. If you get to be a dick head, then I think OP should get to complain about her scalp stinging.

i say you deserved it your hair is the way it naturally is for a reason and if you dont like it thats your probablem and getting chemical burns in your head is your fault if you would just gain some self confidence and wear your hair the way it was intended to be worn then you wouldnt have this probablem now would you sry if i was harsh but it is the truth

At least your hair didn't fall out. Someone in my cosmetology class ****** a perm up and the lady lost most of her hair in the rollers. :O
