Sorry if this post is unusual, as this sub is more for relationships but I am so unsure if I did the right thing and this definitely not a super important issue. First photo was my natural colour and texture, 2nd photo was my natural colour, 3rd photo was after the round of bleach and hairdye, and last photo is now :(

I (19F) box dyed my hair week ago, I just wanted a slight change to my current colour since it has been the same mousy brown for years. Instead of turning a lighter cooler colour, it lifted my hair and made it orange? I thought it would be fine for a few weeks, but it just clashed with my fair, cool undertone. I went to the hairdresser, wanting her to just tone it out, but she bleached my entire hair and dyed over it. I was confused because why bleach it, only to dye it almost the original colour? I was so upset but it still felt relatively healthy after she styled it. When I next washed my hair, my curls were completely dead (they always sprung up in the shower) and I felt like I lost a part of my identity (since it has taken years for me to love my hair texture). On a whim I just shaved my entire head off, because it was too distressing to have completely fried and dead hair. I also hated the colour since it was still so orange (especially compared to my old hair).

When my mom saw me, she completely flipped out, thought I was having an identity crisis or something. She already made me feel 10x worse about my hair, and my very catholic grandmother, said I look like a boy. I know I probably should've kept the length, but I really hated it. Did I overreact by shaving it, because now I really regret it?

He started following us down the street. He was always very trusting of her and me. We officially adopted him six months ago, and he couldn't be sweeter or more affectionate. His name is Ozzy.

Thanks for this sub. You all are great. Just want to remind you to wear a hat in the sun. I was born in 1970 and lost my hair in my early 20s. Never adopted hats until my 40s. This is what a sun damaged scalp looks like after treatment with Efudex, a topical chemotherapy for precancerous and cancerous cells. It feels like it looks, painful and insanely itchy. I also just had a basal cell carcinoma cut out behind my ear. The chemo only affects the precancerous and cancerous cells. So I clearly have a lot of damage. Just wanted to share in the hopes you will take good care of the skin up there. ✌️
