DIY Hair Bleach... Worst. Decision. Ever.

Wanted to save some cash so I tried to bleach my hair at home. Followed some 'easy' YouTube tutorial. All I have to say is... DON’T. Long story short, hair is now a mix of orange, brittle, and oh... falling out. Had a meltdown and shaved it all off. Now I’m rockin' hats daily. If anyone asks, I’m just making a style statement. FML.

I'm believing this is gonna be a story you laugh about in the future. Imagine telling your grandkids 'one time I tried to bleach my hair and ended up a trendsetter with my cool hats'. It's all about perspective. Keep your chin up!

Embrace the bald! Lots of folks are doing it by choice. Get you some nice earrings, maybe a piercing, and you could totally rock that edgy chic look. Turn the accident into fashion on purpose, I say!

This is your moment to experiment with new looks! Have you tried scarves or turbans? They can be super stylish and a nice break from hats. Plus, this is temporary. Take it from someone who botched their hair multiple times, it'll grow back healthier. Sending virtual hugs!

Literally did the same thing last month. Wish I saw your post earlier! I went through bottles of conditioner trying to save it. Now I'm wearing wigs. It's actually kinda fun choosing different styles. Maybe give it a try?

Fashion statement? More like fashion emergency 😅. Don't stress though. We've all had those 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' moments. Rock that bald head with confidence!

Back in my day we bleached with actual bleach and just dealt with the fallout...literally. But hey, hats are cool. Maybe throw in a fanny pack for the ultimate style comeback.

Hey there, hair stylist here! I see it all the time, and honestly, bleach is so unforgiving. The orange tones, they're brassy because the bleach wasn't left on long enough or wasn't strong enough to get through the red/gold pigments. And the brittleness is likely from overlapping applications or not using a bond building product. Shaving was a brave move but might've been the best to start fresh. If you ever consider to go pro or at least consult with one before, feel free to DM for tips! Your hair deserves some TLC.

Ugh, that sucks big time. Sorry you had to learn the hard way. I totally get the desire to save money but sometimes you just end up paying more, ya know? Hair will grow back, in the meantime, slay those hats!
