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
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 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 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, 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, 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, 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 tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. 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 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
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

Um yeah, if you had black hair you have to bleach it first....that was your first mistake.

Yeah. Even if you were bleaching it, and not dying it, like you said you were, going from a natural dark color to a blonde typically won't yield desired results. Especially not with an at home kit. You're better off spending the money to have it professionally done.

I rarely think people deserve it on here but this is what happens when you don't research how to dye your hair. Never tie it up in a bun/ponytail/anything bloody else.

First of all you are bleaching your hair so you can COLOR it. Second, anytime you go to bleach hair it should be left loose not put in a bun. That is a good way to chemically cut some of your hair if you aren't careful. And third, black is the hardest color to strip out of hair and it should be done by a professional, so you don't end up frying your hair, especially since you want to be a blonde.

YDI for going from black to blonde

And that's why you should see a professional. Cheap hair isn't good. Good hair isn't cheap. Same with beauty therapists.

next time get someone who knows what they're doing to help. Think mechanic is to car style, then the can show you. Not just for hair all things in life, you wouldn't go parachuting by your self without an instructor showing you first.

Never do your hair at home if you're changing it more than a couple shades, especially not trying to lighten black to blonde. My hair is naturally light blonde, but I've been considering going for the platinum look, but I haven't because I'd never do it myself (though I have gone darker and red, blonde is just best left to professionals )...plus, it's expensive to maintain. Also, never put your hair in a bunch while you're bleaching or dying it, that distributes the bleach or color unevenly. I hate to say ydi, since you now have a damaged mess on your head, but why in the world would you attempt to do this in the first place?

It's different shades because by putting it into the bum you effectively produced a tie-die effect Just work with it and say "I meant to do that" if anyone asks.
