Today, I decided to change my hair color. After waiting in anticipation, I took a shower to rinse out the dye and reveal my new, blue hair. Rinsing revealed not only blue hair, but blue skin caused by the watered dye running over my body. I now look like a smurf, and it's not coming out. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I decided to dye my hair blue. The result is slightly different than I expected: my white bathroom is now blue, and so are my skin and nails. The only thing that isn't blue is my hair, which is now green. FML
Today, I thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. FML
Today, I tried dyeing my hair at home to save some money. I carefully followed the instructions but when I rinsed it off, my hair turned a shocking shade of shiity neon green. Not wanting to leave the house looking like a radioactive toad, I wore a hat and hoped nobody would notice. 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, my roommate pranked me by putting blue food coloring in the shower head. I have class in 20 minutes and look like a Smurf. FML
Today, I came home from a crazy costume party and took a hot shower. When I opened my eyes and saw the water running from my head was bloody, I freaked out and called my friend for help. She had to remind me that for the party, I'd coloured my hair red with washable hair dye. FML
Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. FML
Today, my boyfriend and I dyed our hair. His hair came out good. My hair, on the other hand, came out splotchy, and instead of dark blue, it came out green. 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 dye my hair a medium brown. Little did I know, some jerk switched the hair dye boxes. My hair is now bright orange. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Hand sanitizer and a good scrubbing with a bristle brush should get it off.

That works most of the time for me (I regularly dye my hair bright colours). If that doesn't work, try nail varnish remover. YDI for rinsing it out in the shower, may stain fabric, surfaces and skin includes rinsing it out, not just applying the dye.

Beauty supply stores have hair dye remover for skin, it works really well, give it a try!

I can just imagine that walk of shame through the store...

The packs of dye remover for skin I buy are just big enough to clean off one hand. You'd need a lot...

If you used box dye, YDI. If you went to a salon, then FYL and you should most definitely get your money back, as well as have the girl who did it fired. But I'm assuming this was through over-the-counter box dye.

Overreaction much?

Anyone who uses ghetto box dye deserves whatever whacked results they get. Have some pride in your appearance and go to a salon.

I use box dye and I've had salon professionals tell me it looks completely natural and well done

There is nothing wrong with using a box dye kit. I've had my hair dyed once at a salon and I will never again. They don't come close to the shade I like and it's way too expensive. Not everyone can afford a salon so...get your nose out of the air before you drowned the next time it rains!

Hair salons use box dyes. What do you think they'll come in a cup? My uncle owns one of the biggest bridal/tv actors hair salons in ct and he says its all coming in a box. It's the ones with the right chemicals and right method that gets it done right.

Come on in this bloody economy? We will get what ever hair dye we want savvy?

Just wash your body with gasoline. If it still doesn't come out, use a lighter.

Yes, cause setting herself on fire will work well!

Careful. She's clearly not a rocket scientist, if she's washing dye out in the shower. She might be sarcasm-proof. Wouldn't like to see a follow-up FML from her relative based on your advice.

This is bad advice. You could blue up. Go kabluey!

#130 also the noise op makes when following 19's advice. Over the last couple of weeks I've learned that understanding sarcasm is almost as common as common sense.

Nothing to be blue about.

that's why you always rince with your hair as far away from your body as possible and with gloved on....
maz95 17
If it's the cheap type of hair dye then that may be the reason why you're as blue as your hair.
onorexveritas 24
that's why you rinse it upside down

I know what you meant, but I immediately imagined a vampire hanging upside down washing dye out of it's hair.

That happened to my shoulders when I had my pink hair, it'll come out after a few washes don't worry :)
