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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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 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
Today, I came to the decision that I needed some variety in my life, so I decided to get a haircut. My mom insisted that she could do it and that she had experience because she cuts my dad's short hair. I had thick, long hair. Now, my hair is uneven, ugly and short. 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 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
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
Today, my mum started yelling at me for leaving scissors on my desk, which my five year-old sister found and chopped all her hair off. She had a lump of hair as proof. After three minutes of her yelling, me crying and apologizing, she laughed and said she was joking. She'd just given my sister a haircut. FML
Today, as always, my mother hates my life choices. Particularly my hair for some reason. As she's always whinging about it being dyed blonde, I dyed it back to my natural colour again to appease her, and stop the constant bullying. She hates it. FML
Today, we were running late because my hair got tangled in the curtains. My mother-in-law got so angry, she hacked at it, leaving me with a bald patch, then went and sat in the car as though we were still going anywhere with her. 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

Uhm no, not completely.. but I think you left the bleach on too long my love. What colour did you start from? Rock the "miley cyrus", or "ruby rose" do until it grows out. it's edgy, and fun.

ydi for not going to a professional for something like this.

I agree with you, bleaching your hair is so bad for your hair and it can make it very brittle, especially when not treated with the proper stuff afterwards. There are certain hair things you can do at home like cutting it and dyeing it, but stuff like ombre and bleaching can be too tricky to be done at home without things of research, and even then, professionals know best because they have been trained for this. Sorry OP, FYL for your hair falling out but YDI for not going to a professional like #7 said. Maybe you can try on some wigs until it grows back?

I agree. I've seen a woman at my salon who this happened too. You NEVER bleach your own hair. YDI

I don't think she deserves to have her hair fall out. That's just me though.

Myself and some family members have bleached our own hair before. She doesn't deserve to have her hair fall out because she didn't want to go to a salon.

I bleach my own hair, and it comes out beautifully. Some people are ignorant on the subject, it doesn't mean they deserve losing their hair. Some people can't afford the salon, or don't want to pay the expenses.

My sister and I both bleach our own hair quite often. Its not a ydi for not going to a salon, but it IS a ydi for not being more educated before doing it. Obviously one or the other didn't comprehend the strength of the product.

I've bleached my hair myself several times, I've just done research and actually read the instructions. OP must've put it too close to their scalp early on and used a very strong product. You're supposed to do it in stages but I never did as I got scared at the point when it went orange and wanted it blonde asap, maybe OP did the same but left it way too long. Still doesn't deserve their hair falling out.

getting your hair bleached at a salon is overly expensive. $70, like I can buy the bleach the developer and other hair care products to protect and take my care of my hair with that amount of money. I don't think anybody deserves losing their hair for not doing it professionally??

I agree, salons charge way to much for bleaching. I used to go to get it done but then learnt how to do it myself and have never had an issue. Sometimes crap happens. Even in salons. They used to make me sign a waiver stating that they weren't at fault if my hair fell out.

I can bleach my own hair now, but this was after a while of practice. First time, I went to a salon. Got it professionally done, end of story. Second time I bought GOOD products (cheap bleach is a no no) and I tested it on a small area of hair before I did the rest.
Hyenayena 27
Yeah but you can always invest in a good product , and make sure you have a clue as to what you're doing

I know wigs are expensive and good ones are hard to find, so I hope it turns out alright. Good luck OP. Sorry you got into this situation.

Time to hold her down and shave chunks out onmmf your mother's head while she sleeps as payback for laughing at herself for ruining your hair.

Sounds like you used nair and bleach.
