Today, I bleached my hair. Not only did it fry, it also has a very noticeable green tint and because of the damage, I can't dye it again for a while. Now I keep getting asked "Why so serious?" by my friends. FML

Today, it's been a month since the hair dye that was supposed to be temporary is still making my hair tropically green, now with some added roots making it look even worse. FML

Today, I tried dyeing my hair at home to save some money. I carefully followed the instructions but when I rinsed it off, my hair turned a shocking shade of shiity neon green. Not wanting to leave the house looking like a radioactive toad, I wore a hat and hoped nobody would notice. FML

Today, I tried to dye my hair blonde. Turns out, green hair doesn't suit me. 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, my boyfriend and I dyed our hair. His hair came out good. My hair, on the other hand, came out splotchy, and instead of dark blue, it came out green. 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 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 thought it would be fun to tint my hair. An hour later, I resemble a blueberry and it looks like a Smurf exploded in my bathroom. 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 decided to change my hair color. After waiting in anticipation, I took a shower to rinse out the dye and reveal my new, blue hair. Rinsing revealed not only blue hair, but blue skin caused by the watered dye running over my body. I now look like a smurf, and it's not coming out. FML

Wear a purple suit, put on some white make up and have fun with it. Really, it's not that serious.

The added "LMFAO" eliminated any chance of you being funny.

Just wait 3 weeks, then you can dye it again. Not that long of a wait. And go to a salon this time.

you can go get some temporary non bleach dye and add it over it to try to Ger back to something more normal. been in the situation before. but it has to be temporary dye. they sell some at Sally's beauty supplies or sometimes at walmart

I love how many people think u deserve it, but most of those same assholes wouldn't say shit if it came out right.. I'm sure they got friends who dye their hair, whose hair they think looks great.. but when it doesn't work out, they just want to b dicks and put u down for being who u want to b.

I said FYL because I've bleached my hair more than once and it's still nice and soft. (: You're just unlucky, I guess.

putting color back into your hair will give it back at least some of the nutrients that you stripped out by bleaching it. I saw someone else mentioned it but be careful adding color back to your hair because yes after bleaching it is much more porous and will get much darker much faster. pick a color that's actually a bit lighter than what you're looking to end up with and you should do alright. and I don't know the base colors well enough to agree or not with what others said, but I do know you have to be careful picking one. a conditioning treatment would be a good idea, but you could live without it. at least make sure your using your regular conditioner properly. honestly your best bet is going to be to suck it up and pay someone to fix it, but it can still be fixed at home. btw, my claim to know anything on this issue? I've dyed my hair all varieties of natural colors, all colors of the rainbow, and then some, and have lived 22 years with a color specialist.
