Today, my mom was feeling down because of her gray hairs. In an attempt to cheer her up, I suggested that she dye them. Her hair turned orange. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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 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 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 came home to find my girlfriend had dyed her hair a ridiculous bright color. She knows I absolutely fucking despise brightly colored hair on women. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
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 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, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I look like a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Box dye is SO BAD. I work for a beauty supply company. Box dye does not have the developer YOU might need. It has a generalized level developer that the company cheaply mass produces that might be WRONG for your hair's current level and desired result. It also sits on a shelf for who knows how long, may contain metallic dyes, and may be the wrong base! They also don't always indicate whether its a semi, demi or permanent color. I see a ton of customers that don't know what they've already put on their hair and require a corrective color procedure.

P.S. Additives like Grey Magic help the course, color resistant hair that has lost pigment absorb color. Walgreens, I'm sure, does not sell that.

I fully get what you guys are saying...yet the one time I had a bad "dye" experience was at the salon...and I guess I'm just lucky but I have a head full of healthy hair Walgreens dye and all. I still stand by my Walgreens dye its never done me wrong. My mother who has had gray hair for 10 years uses "Walgreens" hair dye so I guess I still don't understand what the store you bout it from has to do with anything.

if you really wanted to cheer your mother up, you should've dropped her off at my house so we can do what grownfolks do, i promise she'll be done right and very cheery for the rest of the week.

You really tried, but maybe too hard.

You can still proofread. It's easy to blame everything on your Ipod.

If you're going darker, let's say from a medium brown to a dark brown or black, it's not so much a problem. It's going lighter, or going darker from a light color that makes things complicated. If OP's mom's hair turned orange, they proooobably lightened it, and that is tricky. I say that because hair goes through many stages (red to pale yellow) when it is bleached and orange is one of those stages. Bleached hair often needs a toner to make it look natural, and then a protein filler to go dark again.
