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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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

Sounds like it's time to shave your head and start over

That's quite an edge look. Dye a few streaks and you can cosplay as Tank Girl! :D

As someone who has done her own hair for the past 15 years, this was heartbreaking to read. Absolutely heartbreaking. I am so sorry. :(

Half blonde and half bald? You have been garfunkeled!

As a hair stylist this is extremely cringeworthy. 1. You used the wrong developer (20 is standard) 2. Left it on for way to long 3. The bleaching and hair lightening process takes a few weeks because you have to give your hair a break between lightening... Seek a hair stylist next time!

Did you use actual bleach?

OP YOU HAVE A CHANCE STILL. Dye it back black or brown, whatever you like. And then just straighten your hair, and brush it all over to the left, or if that's the bald side, to the left.

Is this an okay place to give hair tips? Depending on how light you're going, you have to do it in sessions. Sounds like the bleach you used was either really strong or left in too long. It's a process. I typically do 5 sessions, each session only 15 minutes each and one every other week to avoid excessive damage. It gets me to platinum blonde. I know the brassy in-between shades drive people insane but toner is useful!

if you dye or chemically treat your hair too often or have never done it before this can happen.

Bleach is what went wrong.
