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?

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.

Bleaching hair is so damaging and risky. I'm sorry your hair was ruined though ):

Op, you shouldn't have used any type of bleach whether it was household or hair dye. I used to dye my hair blonde but I would use the lightest color without actual bleach in it. YDI for letting a friend dye your hair and YDI for using bleach.

Always always always go to a professional. Bleach is soo bad for your hair anyways that you need someone that seriously knows what they're doing!

Wtf kind of bleach were you using...? The only time I've known anyone to lose their hair because of it is a guy I knew who bleached it about once a week to keep it white. He seemed surprised when his fringe snapped off in his hand. On another note, what's with all these arses going "OMG you're a guy! Why are you bleaching your hair!? D:"? I have a suggestion: maybe it could be because he wants to. Think outside the box, you might surprise yourselves and find a scrap of logic.

Never let a friend BLEACH your hair. You could be leaving yourself open for a FRENEMY attack. Meaning a friend who really is so jealous of u they are a fake friend and took the opportunity to *** your hair up

Suppose on the brightside you can wear hats and it will eventually grow out and look grand again :)

I use to dye my hair dark brown for the longest time, and then 4 months ago decided to go red. I used a peroxide developer instead of bleach. Yes, it took multiple rounds for I could get my hair completely red, but it's so much more easier and significantly less damaging.
