Because he was doing me a favour and now I have black splotches around my roots :(

What happened?

Girlmumdogmumboymum · 20/03/2022 16:23

I assume you had him dye it? Not sure how you can be annoyed unless he's a hairdresser?

Sparklesocks · 20/03/2022 16:29

Oh dear. Was it from hair dye? Was he dying it black?

Branleuse · 20/03/2022 16:30

Why on earth did u let him dye your hair?

BritInUS1 · 20/03/2022 16:31

Is he a hairdresser? If not then you can't get annoyed at him

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 20/03/2022 16:31

Did you ask him? Is he a hairdresser? Need more information!

I'd hazard a guess that YANBU to be annoyed by shitty hair but YABU to put the blame on him

Onlyrainbows · 20/03/2022 16:32

No he was bleaching my roots, he's done it before and always says it's a lot like his day job. But he missed a huge section around my right ear and a bit around my temple and around my sideburns. I did have a hunch it was a bit messy (but didn't check) because he reassured me he did a decent job.

God I wouldn’t let DH anywhere near my head with hair dye! Can understand being annoyed with situation but probably not his fault

WhackingPhoenix · 20/03/2022 16:34

Why did you ask your husband, who has no business bleaching hair, to bleach your hair? Confused

ImInStealthMode · 20/03/2022 16:35

If he missed bits surely you just get more bleach / dye and do those bits?

ReadyToMoveIt · 20/03/2022 16:39

Can you buy some more bleach and do the bits he missed? It doesn’t sound like an insurmountable problem…

Vapeyvapevape · 20/03/2022 16:40

If I asked my unqualified friend to service my gas boiler and my house blew up I would have no one else to blame but myself for asking someone unqualified to do a job that needs qualifications!

AnybodyAnywhere · 20/03/2022 16:41

I wouldn’t let my DH anywhere near my hair with either dye or scissors…that’s what hairdressers are for!

Lifeismeh · 20/03/2022 16:49

Well he hasn’t wrecked your hair has he? He’s not a professional, doing you a favour and he missed a bit.

Do it again or go to the salon!

Unsureaboutit9 · 20/03/2022 16:52

It doesn’t sound wrecked, why can’t you redo the bits he missed?

AlisonDonut · 20/03/2022 16:52

Just redo those bits?

Alwaysforgiving · 20/03/2022 16:53

Salons never want to touch my hair and take it to the level I like... It's just that it's more as such a difficult spot to miss

Looubylou · 20/03/2022 16:53

If he tried his best, you can be upset but not annoyed with him. Is he willing to try to put it right? Getting it right previously may have been more luck than skill perhaps?

Wavypurple · 20/03/2022 16:53

I bleach my roots too. DP did it for me for years and it looked amazing. About two years ago we had a complete disaster 🤣🤣he was actually close to tears when he saw it he felt that bad. I wasn’t annoyed, I know he did his best and I went to the hairdresser who fixed it.

Depending on his level of sympathy I’d say cut him some slack.

queenmeadhbh · 20/03/2022 16:53

Well I get it’s annoying but yes you wouldn’t be very nice to be annoyed with him given that he is not a pro and was in fact doing you a favour.

Curious as to what his day job is that is similar but not hairdressing!! Painter of some sort? Or dog groomer?

TokyoTen · 20/03/2022 16:53

Yabu he's not a hairdresser!

MervynGothic · 20/03/2022 16:54

It doesn’t sound wrecked, just poorly done.

He did what you asked. Guess you won’t ask him again!

WhackingPhoenix · 20/03/2022 16:55

Namechange fail?

It looks awful, I won’t lie, but I don’t know what you expected Blush

implantreplace · 20/03/2022 16:55

What is his day job?

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 20/03/2022 16:55

Can you not do it yourself?
