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

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 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.

That's what you get for putting it in a bun. Next time, go to a professional.

Black hair is the hardest to get rid of, it takes multiple times of bleaching to remove all the color, if it's still black you missed spots. I suggest a deep conditioning because if you do it more you'll fry your hair.

Before settling on black hair, I did this so many times and never managed to get it right. Bleach bleach bleach! I was stripping my hair then bleaching it, and for a long time it was orange. I've even been bright orange and loved it. But even if your hair is naturally dark - Bleach!

Your first mistake was buying box color. Second was not bleaching it before putting blonde on it. Third was putting it into a bun while letting it process. Just go to the salon next time.

Are you sure blonde is not your natural hair color?

actually, when bleaching your hair, put a plastic bag, like a Walmart bag, over your hair so that it traps the heat that the peroxide and bleach give off, because it sets off a chain reaction, speeding up the process from root to tip. My hair is naturally dark as well, and this works every time. Or, if not wanting to really really damage your hair, go to your local Sally's, or some other beauty supply store, and get the L'Oréal highlight color, red or magenta works best, get the #40 developing creme, a dyeing bottle, and gloves. it'll cost roughly $20-25. Mix about half of the bottle of the creme with all of the highlight color (or all of the creme depending on hair length), shake it up and apply. After that, leave a bag on your hair, and let it sit for 45 mins to an hour, then rinse until water is clear.

First, you put it on a bun. Second, naturally black here is almost impossible to dye completely blonde at home.
