Your biggest hair oops EVER

So I was just curious as to what everyone's biggest hair oops ever was.

haha that is pretty funny. I'm sure it didn't seem that way at the time!!!

One time, a stylist just used a highlift blonde rather than bleach. Left me very orange. Looked like carrot top. Had to go elsewhere to have it bleached further and toned. Yuck.

The same old story - early highschool, a box of bleach from the drug store, uneven orange dry hair, heavy humiliation, many boxes of brown dye, and a very short cut at the hair dressers. Oh, and even when my hair was dyed the bleached ends would hardly take the colour, so I had faded ends and dark roots, and months and months of trying to get my hair back to good condition. Sigh, to be young and dumb.

Thanks for sharing gals. Before I came to this site I thought I was the only one this stuff happend to!

I shaved half my head.  I was in high school and wanted something different.  so I pulled my hair in a half pony on top and had my sister draw a line (or maybe part my hair) with a comb just above my ears.  anything that fell below the top of my ears I had my sister shave off

an at-home highlighting kit when i was 17. i also let my mom help, another mistake.

Lickalime...I shaved my head once too! But only underneath my hair in the back. I thought I was being cool as the style at the time was grunge.

I was in elementary school and I let my aunt "highlight" my hair because she promissed she knew what she was doing. Well, She decided she didn't feel like pulling it through the cap (we used a cap back in those days) and that combing it through would work the same way. Now, this was my first experience with any color and my hair was waist lenghth and dyed a very unnatural color of what looked like yellow. Horrible!

I had platinum blond for 6 years, got sick of the attention and decided to go back to my natural.  Before I did that though, I was going to have some fun first and try black.  I chose henna, over heavily lightened platinum hair!  I had dyed it dark blond once before doing the henna so I told myself it would be alright to ignore the warning on the henna box about not using it on lightened hair.  It turned sea monster blue-gray-green (not even a nice turquoise that might have looked good with my skin tone!). And it never came out, even after 6 months.  Yes, I walked around with it for a couple of days, then hid it with red and brown pigment depositing shampoos for 6 months.  It finally started even showing through the shampoos as green stripes, so I finally decided I was sick of hiding it and cut off my bra strap length hair into an ear length bob.  (I think I even still have pics of this story on my hair journey on my site  if anyone wants a laugh).

That is an amazing story Susan. Thanks for sharing. Your hair looks in good shape now! I have couple questions. Do you still dye your hair, and what is your goal length?

I was highlighting a small piece in the front and some in my bangs, but for now I stopped doing that, otherwise I haven't dyed it since it got cut short in '03.  I don't really have a goal length anymore.  I don't think I want it any shorter than it is now, but I might get too annoyed with it if I sit on it.  I will see when it gets there and keep it at tailbone length if it bugs me.
Thanks for your interest and compliments!
