Bed Head uses Ionic Technology in “Light Me Up” Collection

I actually used a razor comb to try and trim the back of my head. As you can imagine….it didn’t work too well and I ended up with a white patch (my scalp) in the middle of my black hair! It was easily covered with a black permanent marker!!!

One of my friends was in beauty school and had her final exam. She asked to use me as her demo model. She had to do several things including my nails, some makeup, etc. When it came to the hair cut/style she told me she was going to cut a little and mostly style. I have long curly hair so I was really concerned about her cutting my hair. Before I knew it she was taking a razor to my long curls. I ended up with really really short hair (which ended up incredibly curly since I know longer had the weight of the long hair). I cried while she was cutting it but it was too late. In order to fix it she had to cut even more of my hair. I wore hats and bandanas until it grew long enough to do anything with it.

BTW…I subscribed via email and bloglines.

I use to have really long hair and I decided I would get it all cut off. I went to the hair dresser and she started cutting. When she was done it was totally lopesided. One side was so much longer than the other side. It was awful I made her fix it but for some reason she cut both sides and made it REALLY short!

Well, once I used conditioner instead of shampoo, then put leave-in conditioner on top of that. Talk about a heavy head!

I once tried to dye my hair black for a school video project- I used a temporary rinse. I am so fair that it looked terrible, and when I washed & washed to get it out, my hair had a greenish tinge to it. I eventually had to cut most of it off.

I subscribe to your feed, also!

I have super curly hair - super curly - the kind that grows out and not down. I could never afford the Japanese Hair Straightening technique, but once I splurged on getting my hair chemically straightened. When I came out of the salon, I felt beautiful with soft flowing hair. Sadly, because I have never dealt with having anything other than wash-gel-air dry hair, I had no idea what to do with it once I washed it. Ugh. The lovely straightness all went away as quickly as it came. Worse, even, because it was totally dried out from the process. I yearn for that time when I can put my fingers through my hair again.

I let a woman cut my hair right after she got dumped. I didn’t know until she was half-way done…and man was it bad. It took weeks to get the “asymetric” look to disappear!

Because my hair is super frizzy, I always used the hottest settings on curlers, straightners, etc. One morning I was straightening my hair and left it one area too long - it completely burnt my hair to a crisp, and it all broke off. It looked awful.

I have hair down to the base of my spine and it takes a good bit of time to properly maintain it. I left my daughter brush it a couple weeks ago, but she ended up twisting the brush as she was coming down and got it stuck in my hair! It took nearly an hour to get the brush out without damaging my hair and to get it brushed back out.

I could sure use this to help pamper myself when I am wanting to go on a date with my hubby without the kids.

Many, many years ago, as a teenager, I went to curl my hair with a cheap curling iron. I plugged it in and waited. It didn’t seem to be heating up so I shook it as hard as I could. IT BLEW UP. I screamed and threw it on the floor. My mom came running. She had been cooking dinner and was wearing oven mitts. She grabbed the curling iron and pulled it loose from the electrical socket. She threw it in a garbage can and rushed it outside. The wall had a huge black mark from where the electrical socket had over heated.

I still joke with her whenever I see her wearing oven mitts: Supermom to the rescue!!!!

I have also learned to pay for quality curling irons.

I used to color my hair a lot back in high school and finally got tired of it so I decided to buy some hair stripper to get the color out and go back to my natural dark brown. The stripper turned it a funky orange color, then I dyed over it with dark brown and ended up with streaking. I looked like a stripped tiger until I finally decided to get it fixed!

Worst experience was in the day when big hair was the style, I got a perm that was too tight and the hair stylist then put in hi-lites that was too soon after the too tight perm!! In two days time I had straw for hair….the heaviest conditioners wouldn’t even calm it down. And she went to school for this!! I haven’t had a perm since then and tremble at the thought!!

Well, I have super thin, frizzy hair–EVERYDAY!! It doesn’t get any worse than that!

What an awesome giveaway! I will definitely be joining this feed!

So, as many women do; I have colored my hair for years; myself. I figured if I could do that, then highlighting with those highlighting kits shouldn’t be too difficult. I tried the ones where you pull your hair through…YUCK. That hurt. So I tried the ones where you just comb/brush it on with a tiny brush. I messed it up so bad I like a skunk or a raccoon, can’t decide which…LOL. In the front I had large streaks, then I had some streaks side by side on other parts and completely missed the back of my hair. It was such a site. I have even been trying to straighten by hair, but for the life of me it won’t stay straight. It isn’t even that curly; just a little. I would love something like this so I can get some great waves without frizzing and trying to completely straighten.

My worst hair blunder would be any day I wake up! My hair is thin and flat! It won’t hold a curl for crapola! Once though I did dye it red, left it in too long becasue it didn’t look like it was taking, then it ended up purple… that’s probably the actual worst.

spiral perms, circa 1992. not perming my bangs, but curling them like sausgaes and then hairpsraying them until they were crisp! (waterfall bangs!)

I don’t have a lot of worst moments because I don’t get the chance to go have a lot done to my hair - but the worst would be getting a perm that was suppose to be wavy and coming out looking like Shirly Temple!! Ugh. Now, it’s just long and straight and I don’t do much with it… I have no clue what I should do to it. LOL

Hi - I sub’d to your feed, via Bloglines, for a second entry.

I got a Spiral perm at a well known salon, and one chunk of hair did not get permed. And they really thought I would be happy when they just took a curling iron and curled it when I came back to complain. umm, no. But that is what I had to do for months on end.

a few years ago I was getting my hair cut, and to make a long story short, as the conversation went on, it dawned on me that my aunt was having an affair with my beautitian’s husband and she knew…her blood pressure instantly went sky high when I mentioned her name, it was so obvious, I got so nervous about my hair because she was so mad…sure enough afterwards it was confirmed, he was cheating with my aunt, needless to say the cut was not good.

Oh man.. never.. and I do repeat NEVer let your beauty school friends practice on your hair.. no matter how much you love them ITS NOT WORTH IT..

Ugg my last sad attempt to help my friend in beauty school left me with blond hair burnt so bad (from my ears down) it had to be almost all cut off.. and the top part was super dark. I looked AWFUL and I had family pictures the very next day so it will forever mar my poor baby’s photo album. *sigh*

I blogged ya of course :

Going to a friend to get my haircut. It was free and what a disaster. She did layers and it was like a christmas tree on top of my head (an uneven christmas tree). It has taken 3 hair cuts to get it back to a nice normal cut. So, now a nice dual iron would put my hair back to stylish!

The bang wave. Stiff with hairspray AND gel.

I am kind of embarrased to say but as a girl not only did I participate in spiral perms and Aqua net in large quantities to my bangs, but I also attempted to cut my own bangs one year, better of course than the hair stylist…needless to say my hand slipped and the rest is history!! Thanks…

I have very dark brown-to black hair with natural red highlights. I tried to dy my hair blonde once and it turned out being this orange color. I had to walk around with orange hair for weeks.

It’s a tie between the time I let my friend give me a perm and the time I told the stylist to just make my hair “as short as possible with a pair of scissors.” Cuz I didn’t want a buzz, see, but I wanted really short hair. I had no idea how short hair can be made with scissors alone.

I had my hair done for junior prom…well, it was this french braid that went at an angle and ended with a side ponytail! Talk about tragic! I hate those pictures!

When I was in the middle of finals I was running out of time before I went home so I tried a new salon that could fit me in that day. I thought something was off but I was so tired and busy stdying that it was three days later when I got home that I noticed that my hair was almost an inch shorter on one side

Hello, Mine was when I had it “frosted” with blonde highlights. Instead of highlights, I was all over blonde! It wrecked my hair badly. I almost had to shave all of it off…..Thanks,Cindi

When I was in high school I tried to use a ratty 1″ circular brush to do my bangs (this was the early 90s) Bad idea! The brush got completely tangled and I couldn’t get it out. I wouldn’t let my parents cut it out, and it took us three hours to get the brush off my head. I had uncontrollable flyaways for months after that…and an embarrasing family story that my brother and sister love to bring up.

While procrastinating over writing a paper in grad school, I decided to dye my hair at home. Since I was low on cash, I went for an economically priced product that I had never used before (I had been dying my hair burgundy for the past 7 years with success).
Well, my hair came out CARROT ORANGE. I tried to correct it but in the end, I had to grow out the bad hair and keep a fairly short haircut. While the intensity of the color faded over time with the help of further corrective dye-jobs (using dark brown), I had two-toned hair for about a year! After I cut out the last of that orange from my hair, I stopped using permanent dye cold turkey! the next time I need to procrastinate, I’m not going to give myself a makeover!

The great wall of china bangs that all girls had in the 80s! Uhhhgggg how did I EVER think it was cool???? haha
~melody~

I have thick hair, and it’s naturally wavy and so the slightest bit of humidity and I have a blow out. Okay, so this one time I got a perm (bad idea since my hair was naturally wavy, but I was like 15 and didn’t know any better) and then I died my hair some eggplant color and it turned out black. And very, very frizzy! It was horrible.

I’ve been eyeing these products at Target…I’d love to try it!

When I was 12, the perm that I had gotten a year ago was almost grown out, and I decided to cut my hair short to remove the rest of the curl. I found a picture of a model with a short, layered haircut in a magazine, and I took it to my hair dresser. Well, the hair dresser tried to replicate the cut without considering my hair texture: thick and coarse. When the cut was finished, I looked like a 70’s fashion page (this was the 90’s), with big poufy hair that flipped upwards at various lengths. It was not cool. To disguise the unflattering cut, I wore my hair in a half pony-tail for the next 6 months…which was another BAD fashion move.

Can’t really say the worst experience i have every had i am a exhairdresser and for the last 15 years i have cut my own hair,but i did turn my hair myself light purple with some semiperment hair color thought my husband would die laughing at me it was quite a mess.

I am a exhairdresser and i’ve been doing my own hair for the last 15 years,but i did myself turned my own hair lavender with some semipermanent hair color thought my husband would die with laughter.

Ohhh I would love this.

I was curling my bangs (back in the 90’s) & hit the curling iron into my forehead & burned a huge line across my head. It hurt so badly!

please enter me thanks

Oh I’d have to say dying my hair jet black by accident and because I have very fair skin I got called Snow White for weeks afterwards. Didn’t help that I played it up and wore red lipstick

I got my hair dyed at the JC Penney Salon (first mistake, I know). It came out orange. My next mistake was telling the woman to do it over. She did– and it looked no different. So she did it a THIRD time– three bleachings in one afternoon. A year later, my hair is still damaged beyond all hope, and I’ve had to cut about 12 inches off already. Someday I’ll have good hair again… right?

Turning my hair purple while attempting a do it yourself hair color. OOPS! And of course I had to go to work the next day.

Its been a long time but my worst beauty blunder was cutting my own hair–with pinking shears, the day before pictures. Yes, I ended up with a “shag” before it was fashionably, what else do you do with that hair? And thus began the never ending hair battles…

My worst hair blunder? Would have to be when a friend tipped me to try rolling my hair around bobby pins wet and sleeping on it for a spiral perm-look. Looked more like a finger-in-a-socket hair-do. Not pretty. Took four washes before the kinks came out of my hair.

Hope I win!!!!

At the age of ten my eight year old brother cut off a three inch section of my hair while I slept.

I don’t even own a hair dryer! Seriously!

Count me in please!

I tried cutting my own hair when I was 5.

I got my hair dyed at my favorite hair dresser…she normally does amazing things with my hair. One time, my hair turned PINK~ really, it wasn’t red…but PINK (Bright). Funny thing is it was Valentine’s Day, too!

Great giveaway~

I have this half curly, half frizzy hair that grows in cowlicks all over my head. I thought back in 1993 bangs would work. Bangs made me look like a muppet from Jim Henson’s reject pile. It was tragic. So I grew it long on the sides, which made it puff out like a mushroom. So here I am with frizzy mushroom head on the sides, long stringy hair in the back, and these nasty bangs that make me look like I have a 20 foot tall eyebrow. What I would have done for a flat iron then.

Years ago, I tried to perm my own hair.. BIG MISTAKE! I ended up missing hair in several spots because I chemically burned my hair. I never do chemicals at home now! LESSON LEARNED!!

My worst hair blunder? My hair always used to have a natural wave to it and I hated it! When I was 18, my roomate told me that I could comb a perm kit through my hair and it would straighten my hair. She helped me and we followed all the steps minus the perm rods. It came time to rinse my hair out and the more I rinsed the more my hair felt sticky and gooey. I rinsed it all out and tried to comb it. I couldn’t get a comb through my hair. It just stretched the hairs and broke a ton of them! Needless to say…I RUINED my hair. I couldn’t wash my hair on a daily basis because every time it was wet, it would damage it more. My hair at that time was about mid-back length. Because of all the damage, I decided to get it cut to get rid of as much of the damage as I could. I then went on to receive the WORST haircut of my life (she went a little crazy with a razor comb)! Two hair blunders in one! I haven’t touched a perm kit since! It took forever for my hair to completely recover from those awful experiences.

I got so frustrated with my hair a couple of weeks ago that I shaved my head.

Worst hair blunder was letting my wife cut my hair, she screwed up the sides so bad… I don’t even want to think about it. Also, I do subscribe to RSS using Google reader to do it!

I had a great stylist that I would let just go crazy on my hair color. When i came back to work everyone was staring at me and it was then I found out I had bright pink streaks and tips all through my hair. It did not show as bright in the salon lighting. That was funny!

This looks so cool! worst hair blunder….probably when I recieved a free hair color from herbal essences for light blonde and it turned my hair red like ronald mcdonald!

Well I have 2 older sisters so I always ended up getting my hair fixed(if you can call it that) by my sisters. I have had my hair cut way to short, my forehead burned and my hair colored orange. Now that I am older and fix my own hair I love to keep a classy and simple look that can easily be glammed up. This dual wave iron would be awesome. I want to try all of there products.

My worst hair blunder was when I tried to color it myself from a box, but wasn’t really paying attention to what I was doing. Washed my hair and noticed was not quite right. After drying, I looked like I had leopard spots all through my hair! I had to get it fixed at salon the next day!

cool curler

So it is not really a blunder per say but it was an expensive lesson learned and learned well. When I was a teenager my hair went to my waist/bottom. I have always had straight, long boring hair so I thought I would try a perm to spice it up a little. It took 3 hours to roll it at the salon and then another hour or so for the chemicals to set and stink up my head. They unrolled, washed/rinsed and charged me a small fortune. The very next day all of the curl was gone gone gone. Apparently some of us in this world have hair that will not take or keep a perm so I wasted hours and hours of my life and I think a few too many braincells on the fumes for nothing.

This neat little tool would at least give me something fun to do with my straight and boring hair!

I have super straight hair that never does anything. Can’t hold a curl from any curling iron I’ve used so far. It’s just flat.

I tried to put layers in my own hair!

Crimping irons and huge bangs during high school- lots of pictures to relive those fun days

I pulled on this huge knot of hair so hard with my brush that I ripped it out and had a small bald spot where the hair was. I had to go to the hairdresser to fix the problem so I wouldn’t look like I was prematurely balding.

Worst hair blunder? How about my hair dryer catching on fire while using it? Does this count? LOL… I had to get quite a few of my ends, and then some, cut off after that. YIKES!!!!
