What's the worst thing that you did to your hair?

Question

Did you think that it looked good at the time?

Answer 1

The lady I babysat for cut my LONG hair like Carol Brady's shag (or mullet as it's called sometimes.) Then she bleached it a brassy-yellow color. Yep school started that week! What a horrible mess!

Answer 2

I wanted highlights so bad when I was a sophomore that I let my mother do an at home kit on it. She did it wrong and then ended up putting the color all over my head. That made it turn a brassy orange. SO we went to a local drugstore to get a hair color anti-brass thingy and that made my hair just a golden orange then. By 1 o'clock in the morning, we were finished and I cried myself to sleep.......Oh by the way, did I say that we were doing all this the night BEFORE the first day of school? No one would look at my hair for 8 months. After three months, I thought it was looking ok.

Answer 3

I once had my hair permed, and dyed at the same time. Since I already have red curly hair to begin with, this may not have been the best decision I ever made. When it was done, I looked like Ronald McDonald's Mom!!! It took a looong time to get back to normal and I have never tried anything like that again.

Answer 4

I tried cutting it "just a little " just a little my butt. I freaking hacked it. I looked like the biggest freaking idiot in the world. Hell no it looked bad bad bad. Sad thing is I didn't learn the first time I did it again about 15 years later.

Need a hair cut? LOL

Answer 5

here's a funny story:
i really wanted to get a haircut. i just really wanted to. but i couldnt because i didnt have any money and i didnt get paid until the next day.
when my husband came home from work that day he was shocked to find a sink full of my hair.
i couldnt wait til the next day so i cut my hair myself.
i just flipped my head upside down and started cutting.
it looked so horrible when i was done. it was totally even all around, it just looked really really bad.
a few months later it started to grow out and i was able to style it in such a way that looked really good.
so it took MONTHS but it looked GREAT!!! once it grew to the perfect length.

strange huh?

Answer 6

I got a poodle perm to my waist length hair. It took over 3 years to grow out. Never gotten a perm since. That was in 1989.

Answer 7

I got a tight perm and tried to dye my hair dark brown, but it came out black. It probably didn't look good, but it was fun. I would wear dark makeup and red lipstick.

Oh, I forgot about the time I used sun-in and turned my hair orange.....that wasn't pretty.

Answer 8

Accidentally bleached it white like Phyllis Dillar's...omg i was freaked!! I only wanted some streaks!!!! Thank god I found someone a good colourist in Beverly Hills to fix it and put me back to the way i was...my husband never knew!!!!! I still laugh but it was not funny at the time!!!!!

Answer 9

accidently turned it orange striped with a lightening kit (when they first came out in the 70's.)...I have drk brown hair and the kits then didn't have warning lables about the orange thing...so I had waist length hair and I striped it all over...I look like a tiger had landed on my head for about a yr...I couldn't get anything to cover it...(not a darn thing would work...) talk about having a whole town laugh at you...(lived in a town with 25,000 pop...everyone knew me...darn it..)

Answer 10

got a perm about 4 years ago. and it sucked. the hair dresser left it in tooo long and my hair was all burnt up. i ended up having to cut it all off. i didnt get out for over 2 weeks.
