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
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 bleached my hair for the new school year. Instead of blonde, it came out orange, making my hair look like a bloated pumpkin. FML
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 went to get my hair highlighted at the salon. The salonist mixed up my blonde hair dye with some other girl's hot pink and violet dye. Now I look like a cheap hooker. 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, 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
Today, I tried doing a hair dye at home for the first time. I misread the instructions and left the dye on for twice the recommended time. Now my hair is the color of a traffic cone and brittle enough to break if I sneeze. 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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

What's wrong with bright orange? Really... I dyed my hair bright orange and I think it looks good.

I know plenty of people in Minnesota who'd be unhappy if their hair WASN'T purple.
FYLDeep 26
I'd be embarrassed to be from Minnesota at this point. I wouldn't blame you if you jumped ship and came over here to Green Bay.

Be aware, ginger-bitis is a fast growing, fast spreading disease. All you need now is a can of spray-on freckles and you'll be good to go!
The_Troller 14
Some girls look good with it, some don't. And the dye that OP used was probably closer to fluorescent orange, not a natural/normal color like yours.
FrostHeart 36
There's a guy in my school with super fluorescent orange hair, It's natural. and I'm afraid I caught the disease from my dad.

I bleached my hair once and it turned pumpkin orange. I liked it, so I sported it for a while :)

38- Light dark purple? How is that possible.... Wouldn't that just be normal purple?

But bright orange has flair!
heyhihello95 12
Dying it back really isn't any harder than the the first time you know.
Enslaved 38
It's not harder but it's still an extra trip to the store and the added expense of buying another box of dye. I'm not sure if over dying would damage the OP's hair. (:
Epic_Fail911 15
your parents could use your head as a pumpkin for halloween decoration.
yougotapes 7
^^ ha Op fyl... That sucks... And u have to wait a while to dye ur head again.. Or you'll end up damaging hard core..
evilplatypus 39
If the product wasn't as advertised they shouldn't have to pay again. No responsible store would make her.

Doesn't spraying windex in your hair take it off?

123- where did you here that? Cuz no. Unless you're thinking about the super-temporary kind.
Bullpine 11
You cant dye Brown over fluerescent orange. Ive tried.
MagicallyFat 12
I don't really know much about dying hair. So correct me if I'm wrong. But wouldn't the color of the dye be orange, and not the light brown you expected it to be
iam_yummylicious 12
Yeah. Wouldn't you have to first bleach your hair out and then tone/dye it? This is why I get my hair dyed at salon... Its not that even expensive and there's only a minimal chance of screwed up hair. Only paid 70 for my highlights. Turned out flawlessly, not orange. O.o
X3liteXHunterX 12
Only $70? A box of hair dye at the store is way cheaper than that I'm sure.
zowieandzander77 1
70 dollars is cheap for good highlights
theninjkaymarie 0
I went to Walmart and bought a five or ten dollar box for highlights and they turned out great. Seventy is a whole lot....

#41 Wouldn't a Christian with a soul spell God with a capital G? Maybe you're storing a little extra bacon where your soul would have been.
baconstrips 12
Haha I was just quoting coppercab I'm not acually a full on Christian.
DeviousAngel 13
Doesn't anyone realize it says, 'bright orange'? Maybe it's a total unnatural orange and not even close to the real 'ginger' color. FYL OP, someone who was dying their hair brown probably wouldn't look the best with bright orange hair, but that depends.

get like a matching costume. and it's temporary.. right?
DeviousAngel 13
If it were temporary, I don't think OP would be worried too much. I'm assuming it's a permanent dye...
