It’s safe to assume that most of us have undergone at least one hair-related disaster. It might have been giving yourself a haircut at home—whether back when you were five or just a couple of years ago, during the DIY-filled period of the pandemic—or a visit to the salon gone terribly wrong, but no matter the case, one thing that likely provided hope was the fact that hair grows back.
Well, people in the pictures on today’s list probably held on tightly to the same idea. If you scroll down a little, you will find some of the most unfortunate haircuts and hairstyles the internet has ever seen. So, if you want to make yourself feel better about your unfortunate hair decisions, or simply look at what other people managed to do with theirs, go down the list and enjoy.

Also, using a protein filler on hair that’s aged its pigment out will be really helpful. If you’ve gone grey or silver or white, you’ll have trouble holding a color correctly. I’m not a colorist or hairdresser, so am not speaking professionally. I just used to dye all my friends hair with Manic Panic in high school in the 80s and some older women I knew wanted me to do theirs too.
For many people, cutting a chunk of their own hair out is a typical childhood experience; a milestone, if you will. If you haven’t done it yourself, there are plenty of videos online showing the aftermath of kids hitting such ‘milestones.’ (I myself still remember the shock in my mother’s eyes after she saw what I had done.)
But quite a few individuals say goodbye to their hair later in life, as they try to give themselves haircuts as adults, often not that successfully, unfortunately.

Losing A Bet Can Suck
Many of people’s less fortunate hair-related decisions were likely made during quarantine. Back then, they didn’t have much of a choice, as, due to the lockdown, they couldn’t go get their hair done as they normally would have. So, they tried everything from trimming their ends to dying their hair to even getting buzz cuts during the time they spent at home.
But to be fair, that was arguably the best time to try all of that out, since if the haircut didn’t end up looking good, no one outside of the household would likely see it. Not right away, at least.

My First Attempt At "Shaving" My Head. Been At Work For Two Days Like This And Didn’t Even Realize Until A Coworked Asked If I'm Ok

I have been shaving my head for years. It's important to feel around your entire head with your hands after you shave to make sure you don't miss any spots that you can't see well in a mirror. It seems like OP just cut his hair off and walked away. If he had just felt around, he surely would've noticed he didn't do a good job

Anyone Seen That Viral TikTok Video Of The Woman Who Lost The Majority Of Her Hair In A Day After Bleaching At Home? Yeah, It Happened To Me
I was someone who bleached her hair several times over the years (at home) and never had problems, but everything changed today. My hair was finally getting long, so decided to bleach it, fast forward to the shower and rinsing it out, and my hair broke off in globs. I was mortified. I've never felt less feminine than I do now.
Please, don't let this happen to you. I'm not implying that everyone is like me or will make the same mistakes as me but when in doubt, or if you just don't have complete confidence, please let this be your sign to spend the money and see a professional. If I can help even one person by sharing that's all that matters to me.

MZ (she/they/he) 1 year ago
My hair had been bleached from brown and then I had copper on top of that. I think using the blow dryer on it was the mistake. I'm such an idiot. My hair got so hot that the updo I put it in to process.... my bun on top of my head was burning my scalp. I had to wash it out. So I don't think I left it on too long I think I just made it get too hot. I don't even know why I did that. I'd say it was 18-20 inches. And I haven't even gone to have it cut/evened out yet. I'm mortified to step foot in a salon to have it looked it/ "fixed". But I need to.... I just don't want to be judged.

I always used professional quality products purchased at a supply store with top-notch people giving advice. Anyhoo, bought a bottle of highly recommended bleach, went home, and proceeded to do what I do. However, a chaotic scene broke out, distracting me from the timer, and by the time I returned, my hair had melted. I ended up giving myself a buzzcut and calling it a day.

The whole felt less feminine comment pisses me off. We are more than just our hair, booob size or any of the stereotypical feminine attributes. I buzzed my hair super short after years of being objectified sexualized and everything else negative under the sun for having long blond hair and blue eyes. I was just completely and utterly done with it and I was still feminine and sexy af. It's not our appearance that dictates who and what we are, it's who we are and what we want to be
Kelly H. Wilder 1 year ago
I upvoted you because I totally agree with the sentiment that you are trying to convey, but I want to add that hair is an important part of many people's identity. It is an easily altered outward manifestation of our personality. A person's hair can express things about themselves that they may not be able or willing to articulate. I do not want to negate the importance of that for the OP or for anyone else. It may be significant for you or many others but it obviously was to the OP. We don't have the right to condemn that.
Load More Replies...A YouGov poll from 2020 found that during the outbreak of COVID-19, close to three in ten Americans had their hair cut at home, either by themselves or a member of their household. The poll also found that men were more likely to get their hair cut than their female counterparts during that time. More than half of surveyed women said they hadn’t had their hair cut at home at that point and they weren’t planning on doing so.

She asked for "Layers", and this is then probably at home. Also 6 years ago,so should be OK now. OP: " So for the first few days, I curled it while looking forward in the mirror. Nobody noticed.

You must really love her, otherwise this is probably grounds for a divorce.
Around the time of the pandemic, in addition to cutting their own hair, many people tried coloring their hair, too, whether to fix their roots or to try out a new color completely. According to Statista, between the years of 2017 and 2021, the number of women dying their hair at home increased in countries all over the world. In Spain, for instance, it went from 29% to 31% over the course of four years, in Germany it grew from 20% to 23%, and in the US—from 22% to 23%.
It’s safe to assume that once people learned how to dye their hair at home, some decided to continue doing so even after the pandemic ended.

Well, I've always loved straight long hair. And it's a really beautiful shade.
In the years following 2020, some people didn’t limit themselves to just trimming their ends or touching up on their roots but instead changed their hair completely. While to some it might have seemed like nothing more than a style change, for others, it was a way to regain control during the turbulent time.
According to Dr. Vivian Diller, a psychologist, and author of Face It: What Women Really Feel as Their Looks Change, when everything else in the world feels out of control, one way for people to retain some control is by controlling what they can. “Organizing our closets or cutting our hair can serve that purpose,” Dr. Diller said in an interview with Refinery29.
The expert continued by pointing out that it’s not uncommon for women to change their looks to mark certain significant changes in their lives, such as marriages, moves, or losses. “It’s possible that cutting hair or changing styles during COVID is a way for women to use their appearance to make a statement marking this world event,” she added.

People are going to try and smack that bug until the rest of your hair grows back.
It’s unclear whether the haircuts and hairstyles on this list were a result of the pandemic, but they sure were lessons. Lessons that it might be better not to cut your own hair or try to save up to dye it at a sketchy salon. Though, some of them were arguably not even lessons, but plain old bad luck. But whatever the case, there’s always that glimmer of hope one can hold on to—hair grows back.

If the bangs were much longer and the part on the side was less straight, this would have been AMAZING.

This looks like it simply acted like a filler. Was your hair super light before? The way the light is going through the strands seem indicative of that. If you ran that same color again over that it would be beautiful. Red is the hardest color to adhere to and remove from hair. Stylist here.

That's blonde ... well ... that's what blonde came out looking like when I did it.

Was I Wrong To Leave A 1-Star Review For This Hair Dye Job? $140 And They Told Me It Was "Impossible" To Get The Dye Of My Neck, Forehead And Ears, And It Would Come Off "Eventually"
Sara Frazer 1 year ago (edited)
Pfft! I have done my own hair for the last 15 years and have always been able to remove any dye with makeup remover, recently discovered micellar water works wonders, too! ETA YES that "hairdresser" definitely deserves at least one 1-star review for a complete lack of skill/effort

A textured babywipe will take most of that off. For really stubborn stains, dip the wipe into a little cuticle remover liquid first.

Acetone aka your cheap nail varnish remover works. Don’t ask how I know…

Parents Got Me A Well Known, Posh Salon Voucher For My Birthday, This Was The Result Of A €250 Dye Job
They also lied and told me it was all one colour, then said it was my fault for dying my hair with semi-permanent dye three years ago (which I told them about in advance).

So did we not consider the box dye I did three years ago (as I had mentioned, or)

The ash will take any will tone down any red in your hair. It's probably why it looks black.

Box colours always come out a shade or two darker than the shade card, in my experience

It is fixable though. You have to take it shorter and the line can be blended out.

I Had Hair Down To My Hips And It Went In A Nice V, Shape But I Wanted To Get Some Of The Bleach Fried Hair Off, And This Was The Result

If she trim the very ends off and even it up in the second picture, I think it will look good.
Joshua David 1 year ago
Someone did you dirty. I also, as a stylist feel that you should've taken a lot more off the perimeter because the damage is insane even after the cut. Cutting a good V requires me to take a lot of sectioning starting behind ears and it looks like that wasn't done at all.

The first pic looks like it's in a ponytail and a different color. Either way both cuts ar bad but pretty and colorful

This Haircut That I Paid $60 For

To fix this, you'd need to literally take the shortes layer and cut your hair to that length in its entirety. A long bob would would be amazing.

The kid is a child actor and cut his hair before an audition. But he got the job anyway. And he had cotton candy and cheese as a snack.

Literally go to Sally's and purchase a toner in a darker shade. It's inexpensive and it's a quick fix for you. do some research on toning hair and knock it out. Stylist here.

When Will I Learn That Blue Hair Dye Just Rarely Works For Me?
Joshua David 1 year ago (edited)
As a stylist i can see that your hair was uneven tones which caused the patchiness. I can see that that piece was much more orange than the rest or from what i can see. Look at your ends, they are porous from a lot of coloring to your hair which makes that part much more vibrant. Because of how porous it is, the ends will fade out first. Next time try to bleach your hair into a pale yellow color. If you have darker pieces you need to spot bleach just them parts to get them to pale yellow as well and when you color it'll be perfect.

After Another Rinse My "Lavender" Hair Dye Has Turned Swamp Green

I did that by accident back in the 80's. Sun-In plus pool chlorine equals green hair. :)

Oh man, I had very light blonde hair as a child (it's sort of dishwater blonde now) and my hair was chlorine-green 24/7 in the summer XD

Failing your hair at home alone or with non-professional help is one thing, but it's not normal the amount of hairdressers who massacre hair for high prices... The worst hairstyle I had was the work of a hairdresser. Since then, I have never returned to a hairdresser (it's been 28 years!), I take care of my hair myself and the result has always been better than that hairdresser had done for me.

Never do color and perm together. Or use henna.

I was in fourth grade from 2012 to 2013. Around that time, my peers started experimenting with hair dye. My parents wouldn't let me dye my hair (I eventually was able to get it done at 16), so fourth grade me (remember, fourth graders are usually 10 to 11 in the USA) decided to put a white streak in my hair... with liquid paper. My mom's mom, may she rest in peace, was a professional hairdresser... You should've seen her reaction. Even worse, I tried it again later that year! Sorry, Grandma!

70's, think Baywatch. Ma in law treated me to a perm when pregnant. Wanted big bouncy curls. Hair fell out in clumps. Apparently you shouldn't have a perm when pregnant as it can cause hairloss. So, long hair to very short in a very short time.

My 17 year old special needs daughter woke me up from a nap & told me she had cut her hair. She had used the dog clippers without the clipper guard. She’s lucky she didn’t cut herself. I burst into tears. It was really patchy so I had to shave it all off. I took pics & sent them to my brother & sisters who all happened to be together so they all cracked up. This was not long before her school Christmas assembly so she had to stand up the front with a bald head 🤦♀️😂

The worst hair I have ever had, was done by a hairdresser. I was just about to start middle school, and my mom talked me into getting a perm. On my already curly, long hair. I was expecting, just tighter ringlets, like my mother's perm. Nope. They gave me the same style as Sophia, from the golden girls! As a result, sixth grade was hell, and I have been doing my own hair for almost 30 years.

When I was in junior high I convinced my mom to bleach my hair. It looked OK at first, but over time it turned a weird yellow color and I was just over it. I told my mom I wanted to go back to my natural auburn color. So she goes out, buys a box of color closest to my natural color, and dyed my yellow hair. It turned out black with green highlights. It was the ugliest thing I've ever seen! My mom called a salon, who told her to use color stripper to get it out. After all that, my hair was some mousy brown that I'd never had before.. I've been dyeing it red ever since.
