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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste
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 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, yet again, I had to dye my hair brown in advance of the new school year, because my school doesn't allow "unapproved" colors, even if they're natural. FML
Simply red
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
Fried
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 tried dying my hair blonde. I put my hair in a bun and waited for it to dye. I guess I did something wrong, because my hair is now 4 different shades of blonde/orange, along with patches of my natural black hair. FML
It's called fashion, Deborah
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
Crop me out
Today, after wasting $60 and 3 hours of my time getting my hair dyed to get rid of the ugly orange tint it had from the last time I got my hair dyed, it turned out to be the exact same color I started with. I go on vacation in 6 days and hate my hair. I'm not looking forward to taking pictures, that’s for sure. FML
Hair-raising
Today, I walked into school confident about the new hair color I'd had done over the weekend. My drama teacher apparently dyed her hair the same color; everyone noticed and thought I'd copied her. 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

I dated a girl who kept dying her hair. She was originally a brunette, but kept bleaching and dying it, and now it's a strange pale color.

thats what happened when my mother in law did my hair but its easily fixed once you put on a stronger bleach. luckily we were at her salon :-) not a total fml since it could be easily fixed
twinny_sc 13
That happened to my friend like 3 years ago. We still call her pumpkin head.
CelloNerd 0
obviously the only answer is to do what she wants about it. I didn't have to shave my head when I bleached my hair so don't preach what you don't practice.

if anyone asks just say "I saw a tired oompa loompa and decided to let him sit on my head."

YDI for wanting blonde hair. Idiot.
Nolwen_fml 0
If it came out orange, you propably already had black dye in your hair. I'll have to say YDI for trying to bleach black hair to blonde. Black is the worst color you could possibly put in your hair since it's so hard to remove. Anyway, you should dye them a beautiful dark and rich brown cause blonde is overrated :3

that always happens when dark-haired people bleach their hair, after you bleach it you have to go buy actual hair dye to fix it. duh.

I feel your pain too. I tried to have my hair died with red strips a few years ago. It was red alright, till I shower it off. All my enemies in school called me Naruto wana be, which kinda piss me off. 1. I dislike that show... 2. read my nick name

Everything except St Anger, Load and ReLoad is acceptable.

I like few songs on all metallic albums but you know what they say opinions are like assholes everyone has one and they stink
MetallicaRules19 4
dude death magnetic, justice and master are the best albums evar, my fave songs from those albums are, suicide and redemption, one/dyers eve and battery
MetallicaRules19 4
st anger is rediculously retarded, the vocals are shit theyre just words commimg out of james hetfields mouth, but i do like the intros to every song plus i think that st anger and frantic are alright
sourgirl101 29
I saw them tour with "Lamb of God"! "...And Justice for All" and "Ride the Lightning" are my favorites!
sammehsaurus 0
I think Death Magnetic just sucks lol. But lucky you for getting to see them anyway:P I almost went:/
MetallicaRules19 4
and what i mean by words comming out of james' mouth is that they have no meaning, they are badly put together with the song and pointless, let me explain "kill kill kill kill kill kill"
jjtivey97 0
just leave it at "ride the lightning" is the best
MetalFish 0
St. Anger has a few good heavy riffs in it, but the terrible vocals mixed with terrible lyrics = fail Lars' detached snare = Fail + tinnitus for the listener No Kirk solos = Fail No cool basslines = Fail Songs that go on WAY to long and get boring = Fail Even MetallicA themselves basically said St. Anger = Fail There are one or two songs off Load and ReLoad that are good and I wouldn't complain if the albums where on in the background but sitting on the bus or lying in bed concentrating on the music is when these albums aren't that good In My Opinion, the tracks just lack something
MetallicaRules19 4
apparentley the songs sounded better without the solos so they didnt put them in, i reckon that when they finnished st anger it felt to them like an assignment youve just finnished and re read at the last minute then said to your self "shit" but then handed it in anyway in the hopes of passing
donttrollplease 0
St. anger sucks, my personal favorite is master but that's just an opinion

Wait a couple weeks, bleach it again, and use either a toner or a violet shampoo to het rid of the brassy tones. If you use a toner, you'll get rid of them immediately, but I think you'll also have to reapply later. I don't remember. It's been too long since I was a blonde.
birdmansangel 0
she could also use a toner now to lift out the orange
bishhitsandii 3
Depending on the color blonde she wants, that's true. However, if her hair looks to be the same color orange as a pumpkin, it likely wouldn't turn out the way she wants.
tencentsakiss 19
besides a violet shampoo, blonde dyes with violet or blue undertones will counteract the orange.

that's why u go to a salon and have a pro do it
lizamaphone 6
exactly. op deserved it for trying to bleach their hair themselves. they obviously had no idea how to do it properly.
DoomedGemini 38
Because everyone has the money to do that..
r83839 22
If you don't have the money to get it done at a salon, you probably shouldn't be spending $ on hair dye to begin with. The cost of fixing her hair at a salon will now be more than it would've cost to do it right at a salon the first time.

I'm not a expert on these types of things, but i'm sure there is a slight risk even if you do go to a salon.
JustReina 0
yeah they do make mistakes! they burned my friends scalp abd some of her hair came out! so yeah
5t3ff1k4h 47
Usually, when people say "I bleached my hair" it implies that they did it by themselves. This doesn't mean that she actually did it by herself, though. On the flip side, most people would say that they "went to get their hair bleached" or something, but it still doesn't imply they went to a salon. A friend could have done it. Also, it is possible for a salon to mess up. It's unlikely they'll mess up that badly, but it's still possible.

just bleach it again

138- I was being sarcastic on both acounts.
5t3ff1k4h 47
She doesn't look like a raccoon; she looks plastic and fake. Please lay off the makeup and photoshop. Also, we don't keep polar bears or raccoons as pets in Canada. We keep beavers. Geez, guys, get it right. :/

Actually, orange hair is much more awesome than blonde, which is rather average.
