Today, I let my friend bleach my hair, which resulted in it falling out in clumps. I spent $150 at the beauty salon fixing it and cutting most of it off. I sent the pictures of my new hair to my friends, and I got the same reply from each and every one of them: "That better be a wig." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I let a friend cut my hair. I soon went from having a 'fro to looking like I lost a fight with a lawn mower. 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 was scrolling through my Instagram timeline and saw a picture of my friend in a ridiculous wig. I left a comment telling her how stupid the wig looked, but how great it was to have a friend with a sense of humour. She replied, telling me it wasn't a wig, it was her new hairstyle. FML
Today, I went to get a haircut. I have a pretty bad case of dandruff, so whenever I get one, a lot of it shows. My hairstylist called to her nearby friend twice, then looked at my hair and said, "Blech" under her breath. I got glares when I walked out. FML
Today, I let my friend cut my hair and after a few minutes, she looked at what she had done and then she ran out of the room, laughing. FML
Today, in an effort to save money, I dyed my hair at home. I used the wrong shade, or brand, or maybe I shouldn’t have bought a cheap one, but now I look like a mutant traffic cone. My boss asked if I was “expressing myself” or “just having a midlife crisis.” I can’t afford to fix it, so I’m stuck like this for weeks. FML
Today, I went to the hairdresser on a spur of the moment decision to get a quick wash and cut. Forty-five painful minutes and $180 later, I honestly don't know if anything was actually done to my hair. FML
Today, I let my friend who is in 'beauty school' do my hair. I now look like i have a mullet. What was supposed to be auburn highlights is now hot pink. I have a job interview in the morning. FML
Today, I bleached my hair. Not only did it fry, it also has a very noticeable green tint and because of the damage, I can't dye it again for a while. Now I keep getting asked "Why so serious?" by my friends. FML
Today, I had to get my hair chopped off for a role that I'm playing in a show. I was staring at the floor while the woman cut my hair, and I suddenly heard her start crying. Her tears were immediately followed by "It's okay! I have a friend in New York who can fix it. We won't charge you." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

And that's why you leave it to the professionals in the first place...

Damn, OP. What the hell kind of bleach did you use? Aren't you supposed to use stuff that's... specifically for hair? I wouldn't know, I've never tried.

How did she NOT deserve this? You let a friend mess with your hair you deserve whatever you get.

Uhm he said he bleached his hair not the drapes...

Sigh.... That's a reference to whether he bleached the hair on his genitals to match the hair on his head.

You mention you are a male from the upper left gender symbol. Why not shave all the hair off like a military high and tight? That certainly will look better than fried wig looking hair.

YDI if you're stupid enough to let someone who isn't a professional hairdresser to bleach your hair. It's know to be something that can tying your hair completely and even make it fall if you don't do it correctly, also painful...

Well said but the reason why her hair probably fell out in clumps is maybe they put the bleach too close to the roots? You're supposed to do it 1 or 1 and a half inches away from your scalp. I've bleached and dyed my hair and it was my first time, I did the tips... If it was OP's first time bleaching her hair, I would've done it where you would be okay with having to cut off, the first time is always a scary time and that is why you should dip-dye for the first time..

I'd have cut your hair for free...it would have been a nice close buzz cut, but at least it would have been free.

Ouch. That really sucks, OP. But, why not just leave it to a professional hairdresser?

Your friend probably left the bleach on to long; hence the hair falling out. Next time find a friend who knows what they are doing!
