Today, my mom came over to visit and permed my hair. Ten minutes after she started, I told her it was burning. She told me to suck it up because it doesn't hurt that badly. I now have scabs all over my scalp, hairline, and nape. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got my hair dyed at a fancy salon. While the stylist was pulling out the foils in my hair I sat up and started screaming in pain because the hot foils were burning my scalp. All she said was "oh, you're fine". I went back home to find an oozing burn wound on my scalp. FML
Today, after spending a week detangling my hair (It took a week because my hands have nerve issues) because it felt like my scalp was glued to my scalp from not being taken care of, I cut it all off. My hair got tangled in the device twice and eventually revealed a burn on my scalp. 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, I decided to save a few bucks and let my mother cut my hair. I then had to wait in the hospital for attention due to the fact that she cut the tip of my ear off. FML
Today, my mom tried to burn my arm with a hot spatula, all because I got a tattoo against her wishes. FML
Today, while getting my hair done, I was annoyed that the beautician was not paying attention while straightening my hair. After asking her three times to watch what she was doing, I grabbed the iron and said "let me do it, you're going to burn me!". I then burned two layers of skin off my ear. 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, after spending 2 years growing out my hair, rubbing in oils to make it strong and healthy so I could shave it off and donate to a cancer charity to make wigs, I had a mishap at work with a car's cracked petrol tank. I now have 2nd degree facial burns and like 90% of the hair is burned away. FML
Today, my dad set my hair on fire while cooking. He then tried to convince me that it spontaneously combusted. FML
Today, my mom noticed the hickey that I have on my neck. Embarrassed, I tried convincing her that I burnt myself using a hair straightener. She then told me that that's the same excuse she told my grandma when she got a hickey. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I hate parents that say suck it up. My best friend in high school lost his kidney because he was told to suck it up. He sued his parents for neglect, won and took the out of state scholarship.

If perms are done CORRECTLY at home, there really shouldn't be any problems. Perms aren't needed? Perms help way more than flat irons, really. Flat irons tend to give hair a burnt smell if used enough.

suck it up atleast u didn't have to go to the salon were they charge u. it will go in a couple of days. u should even be thankful that ur hair and scalp didn't fall out . I'm 12. and my mom perms it all the time ofcouse I get burns and scabs. u probubly got them because u was scratching ur hair alot. be fore the perm u should if put Vaseline or protection before u started the perm. when I was 10 I went to a salon to perm my hair and got a 2nd degree burn that is now permanant. that Is worse than scabs.

First off, to anyone who believes it is okay to get scabs and minor burns while getting a chemical service is completely off their rocker. It is NEVER okay or acceptable to get chemical burns during a service. That is damage to your hair and scalp. Secondly, cosmetology school is a place for people to LEARN how to do these kind of services CORRECTLY. How are the students supposed to learn how to do an application correctly if they can't practice on real people? Mannequin hair does not react the same way as 100% human hair. Everyone's head is a different size, their hair have different wave patterns, etc then what you'll get from a mannequin. Third: Perm is the term used for chemically CURLING the hair. Relaxer is the term used for chemically STRAIGHTENING the hair. Even if the chemicals are similar (like thio perms and relaxers), the process is still different and they do different things. It sucks what your mom did, OP. I suggest going to an actual salon so they can help you rebuild your hair.

Depending on the strength of a relaxer or perm and the porosity of the hair (the hair's ability to absorb moisture), yes it can take in 10 minutes or even less. That's why its helpful to always read the instructions.

I would recommend you be kidnapped/recruited, but erm... uh... euh... oh yeah, you parked in a no-parking zone twenty years ago, and Emily once voted Republican, so I'm afraid you both fail our criminal record check :O
