I've always used candlestick sponge rollers in order to achieve my vintage 'do, but I tried pin curls for the first time last night.... and what the heck happened.....
While I charge my camera so I can take a picture of this disaster (because it's so funny looking), I'm curious:
What are your "hair accident" stories? Bad styling? Cuts? Color? All of the above?
I hope I'm not the only one on here who has turned around to look in the mirror and jumped back...

Uuuu..... Years ago I had the idea I would look totally stunning with red-blonde-hair.... So I bleached it blonde and than coloured it.... Guess what? I was WRONG!!!

Not too long after seeing this revealing photos I went back to brunette, but the damage to my hair lasted for years...
(I just realised that my hair is rather reddish in my profile pic... but that´s photoshop-you know...)
It was 1984. My mother gave me a permanent and it turned out really big and pouffy, even for the 80s. Funny thing was, I was more critical of it than anyone else was. Nobody gave me any funny looks!

When I was 15 I thought it'd be a good idea to cut my hair that went down to my rear-end and get a cute 20s bob so I could get a flapper thing going for myself because I was stick thin thanks to playing soccer in the heat for a whole summer before school. WORST HAIRCUT EVER! My hair is way too limp and I have sort of a round face. It took forever to grow out and left me with an embarassing homecoming picture.
Do you mean to tell me I ain't got class? Well in Deluth I was billed as the... "The Classy Chassis from Tallahassee"
The last time I got a perm it was applied by a young gal who'd just gotten out of beauty school, and while I was in the chair she got a phone call from her boyfriend wanting to break up. She didnt end up paying attention and I ended up looking like Roseanne Roseannadanna. Never again...

When I was in jr high I decided to get my first "real" haircut. I'd always had long hair, cut straight across and parted...so decided to jump to shoulder length layers to be curled away from my face ala mid-80s. It was just hideous. I had zero idea how to wield that curling iron and it never looked the same twice. Not to mention the cut was an absolute hatchet job by some lady who my mother knew who happened to have a salon chair in her garage.
I cried all the way home.

I dyed my hair black in 2000- was the worst thing ever. I always looked dead. And my haircut had no definition so it just stuck to my head and was all flat looking.
Oh, and when I got two perms within a week and fried my hair. Looked great when I did it vintage, but awful everyday...

1985 -- When I was 15 a boyfriend/photographer convinced me to be in a hair show where he was doing photos. They got me on stage pulled my hair up into a ponytail (it was over shoulder length) and CUT IT OFF. Then blow dried it all foward and VIOLA! The worst cut/style I ever had. I couldn't work with and cried for two days.
My Mom ended up getting a friend of hers to shape it into a Princess Di cut.
A woman is beautiful when she's loved, and only then.
I did a hair show for Joico back in the late 80s. I had long blonde hair but it's very fine & they decided I'd look great with short hair. Boy were they wrong! They SHAVED the back and left the front "feathers" long but feathered them forward! And they kept my bangs! Then they made me wear this tiny little spandex skirt & bra like top and DANCE on stage after! What a mess!
