1985- went to hairdressers to get blonde highlights - the painful ones with a swimming cap with holes and a crochet hook to pull your hair through!! 5 hours later I left with a full head of peroxide blonde hair. Got off the bus and waved to my mum who was speaking to a neighbour, she glared at me and said to " who's that waving at me" I think I was visible form the moon my hair was so bright. I tried everything to darken my hair but too no avail. Needless to say I have stayed chocolate brown ( my natural colour) ever since...... well natural with the help of Nice and Easy!!

Oh yes, those caps used to give me a migraine as well hurt pulling hair through! Glad to see the back of them.

I had several disasters as my hair is awful. At age 12 Dad sent me with note to a hairdresser ("do something with her hair") and came out with tight finger waves like they had in the Roaring 20's!! (this was 1951). I cried and was so ashamed. Another one, at age 18 put a blond dye on and came out bright orange! Got a "neutralizing ash" that helped. Perms don't suit my hair and always come out just frizzy and no curls, so i dont go there anymore! One hairdresser didnt listen to me, did what she wanted anyway and caught me at the bus stop afterwards tearing through the hairdo with my fingers to get it the way I wanted! If looks could kill.

Hi Sylvi, another good one, just what we need to make us laugh I love your hair in the photo, lovely shades.

Back in the 80s I used to change the colour of my hair a lot. I went from chestnut to auburn and at one point it was platinum blonde, but I hated the dark roots so I bought a hair dye near to my natural colour. Well, I ended up with pea-green hair and no time to do anything about it because I had to pick my little boy up from school. Talk about laugh a minute!

It would be acceptable today though wouldn't it !! Hope your OK Sylvie, June xxx

When I was 15 I had a horrendous perm so my mum bought some straightening lotion to do a home 'repair' job. I was very pleased with the results and went to school on the Monday with smooth sleek hair. In maths (my least favourite lesson) later that morning, I was absent mindedly twirling my hair whilst trying to work something out and the hair came away in my hand! For the rest of the day the hair on the top of my head continued to break off just about a quarter of an inch above my scalp! I just wanted to die from embarrassment! In the end I had an almost perfect circle of minutely short hair on top of my head with the rest of my hair long. I looked like Rod Stewart gone very, very wrong indeed! My friends loved to stroke the top of my head because it felt like an Action Man doll's hair lol

I can laugh now but I just wanted to die at the time

When I was 15 I henna'd my very blonde hair and it went a sort of fluorescent carrot colour. We were holidaying in Cornwall and my dad refused to speak to me the entire week - it was very tense!

Then I discovered crazy colour and became a full blown punk with luminous pink hair stuck up with soap (I didn't know about gel then and anyway soap works better on fine hair!) and he and my mum used to look at each other over the dinner table and roll their eyes! My mum maintained that I'd never get a boyfriend as it was too disgusting - but finally my eczema and alopecia got too bad and I learned to appreciate my strawberry blonde colour for itself and haven't done owt to it since my teens apart from wash brush get it cut occasionally and wonder now at its increasing whiteness!

Love the hairdo Sylvi, Nothing to report on drastic hairdos, though a bit of chicken when it comes to my bonnet.

Great minds think alike as I was thinking of another one we could all talk about, but will leave it for another day. xxx

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Don't leave it too long then georje as if your anything lie me you will forget. I have another written down for us to have a laugh with. xxx

Years ago a friend did a home perm on me but left it on too long (she was watching Dallas).My hair (shoulder length) was frizzled and was breaking off all over.Even the hairdressers wouldn't touch it apart from suggesting shaving it all off.I had to wear a scarf for 3 months until it grew back,never again!

[sylvi in reply to Rita56]

Ha ha ha this is fun i think we all have had hair disasters.xx
