So I was having an MRI and I was wearing a wig. I had a wig cap on but my hair underneath was seriously unpresentable but I didn't think about this until they told me to undress and make sure I had nothing metallic on me. I had pins on my wig but I wasn't sure whether they were metallic or not. For a split second I considered risking it and going in with my wig, but common sense prevailed and I went in with my wig cap. I was still embarassed as all the asian techs were staring at me.

Has anyone ever done anything stupid because of your hair?!
 
My sister and I were running errands in my mother's car. I didn't feel like doing my hair so I put it in some "doodoo" twists and put on a knit cap.

It was snowing outside and my sister pulled up to an intersection to turn. Another car was trying to turn into the lane we were in started sliding and slammed into the back of the car. This happened right by the police station. A police officer came right out to check and see if we were okay. I was wearing a seat belt, but the force of the hit knocked the knit cap off my head. The officer came to the passenger side of the car first and asked me if I was okay, but all I could do is tell him that I couldn't find my hat and try and put my doodoo twists into some presentable style. Nevermind I (or someone else for that matter) could have been seriously injured.

Thinking about this has me dying of embarrassment all over again...
 
I was trying to do a wash and go in the morning before work. Of course when I needed to leave, my products had not been absorbed so I had all this white stuff in my hair. I read that you can absorb some of the excess by wrapping your head in a t-shirt. So I wrapped it up in the shirt and clipped it with one of those pastel colored claw clips. That morning I had to meet a coworker from another office before work to get a package from him. So I said to hell with it and just pulled up next to him with this t-shirt wrapped around my head. We did some small talk, chit-chat etc. I told him, "I can tell you're married and have a house full of daughters, because you haven't said anything about my head." He was like, "Yeah, nothing phases me anymore."
 
Another stupid thing I did. Tried to twist my hair when I was in early labour. I washed it and was twisting it while bouncing on the labour ball. Labour progressed quickly and I went to hospital with one side not twisted and I forgot my scarf. Hence I don't have any post-birth photos with my baby.
 
My cousin went into labor and I was her birthing partner. I had just finished washing my hair when I got the call. I grabbed my blow dryer and hair combing kit and ran to the car. Got to the hospital but her labor had just started and we had several hours before baby boy showed up. I pulled out my blowdryer and tools and went to work right there in her room.

She had a safe birth and my hair was laid.
 
Took down braids ,didn't detangle and washed it .....yeah I had to cut ALOT of it off

Cut one part in the front up to my scalp cuz it felt rough and crunchy . Yup stupid.
Cut my frizzy halo several times cuz I hated it.It took a long time to grow out ,eventually I found some "grease" that worked . (I was 11)

Put a homemade deep conditioner in my hair that contained mashed up (not blended, just mashed) bananas.
My hair loved it and was so soft afterwards - and also banana chunks were all up through my hair.
I panicked and ran into the shower and thought I could get it out with an ACV rinse. :cry3::cry3:
Threw my porosity right off and I just had crispy hair with banana chunks.

I couldn't get them out and I wound up twisting my hair up with them in. They came out more or less in the nest few detangling sessions.
 
Yeah, back in the 90's I was stupid and thought to relax my hair every week with "just for me" relaxer (I thought it would be more gentler cuz it was for kids)cuz I wanted my edges to be super straight. Yeah it was all good until my edges all broke off and I started to have what look like a receding hairline.
 
Not funny but more like something I regret.
I missed a study abroad group reunion/get together because I fell asleep the night before with just half a head of curlformers :wallbash:

Ladies don't miss one time only things for your hair. I should have just slapped it in a makeshift bun and kept it moving.
 
In college I used this stuff called uncolor (powdered bleach) in an attempt to remove permanent color (lol).
My hair turned white and was so porous each time I would wash my hair the rinse I put in my hair to cover the damage would wash right out with the conditioner, it was crazy. I ended up having to big chop.
 
Two things:

- Deciding to go to sleep while sitting up in order to preserve a hairstyle for a special event the following day. This always leads to a shift during the wee hours of the morning to the "head propped up on folded arms I'm gonna get some sleep" method that has only two outcomes: (1) you fall asleep like a normal human being and ruin the hairstyle; or (2) you successfully maintain the style, but yo neck is jacked up for several days afterward. Either way, it's not worth it. You big dummy.

- Opting to DC overnight with a "crying" conditioner, i.e., one that condenses and drips like a waterfall. Not only did I spend a miserable night sleeping on a soggy pillow and in a damp pajama top, but I also developed a sore throat and body aches for my efforts (notwithstanding my brilliant idea to grab a towel and place it on the pillow in the middle of the night for increased comfort...not change the pillow...or pajamas...or rinse the conditioner out...or wrap the towel around my head....or perform any other action that would've made a modicum of sense :spinning:). You even bigger dummy.
 
I decided that I would relax & style my hair the night before I took my passport picture. I was suppose to slay in my photo.

I parted my hair in 4 quadrants and then got tired and fell asleep. I woke up the next day and had to rush to make my passport appointment. I ended up looking like a runaway slave in my passport photo! :eek: I cringe every time I have to show the TSA agent my passport.
 
The sink in my bathroom clogged and my mother blamed the clay masks I've been using on my hair and face. She told me not to use them anymore, but I didn't listen so I applied Cassia in my hair in the downstairs hallway while she was asleep, because I really didn't want to hear it from her. It was in the winter time, the heater was broken downstairs and it was freezing. My hands were numb I was so cold, but I was determined, so I finished it and went to sleep with it overnight. I got so sick. I literally was on my death bed for 3 days. I had to call out sick.

I went to get my driver license renewed. I thought they would let me use the same picture as last time so I didn't bother to do my hair. I just put a hat on. Oh my god, the lady at the desk said I had to take a picture and remove my hat. My hair looked busted. I asked her for a rubber band to tie up my hair for the picture, and I gave them my best smile for the picture, to this day I hate giving people my driver's license.

Something similar happened to me when I went to go take the MCAT, this time I was deep conditioning under a hat. I had that conditioner in my hair for days because I was too busy studying for the test. When I went to go take the test they told me I couldn't wear a hat, so I went to the bathroom, rinsed my hair in the sink, and fluffed it out into a afro. My hair actually turned out cute.
 
Fine hair here... So we all know that fine is pretty much cotton candy hair (soft, holds no style). But I tortured my hair cuz I wanted the popular style - crimps. My stylist freestyled the crimps with a curling iron and HAIR SPRAY!. That was the only way my hair would hold the style. It looked good, but there is no way (these days) I would subject my hair to this torture by heat and a flammable liquid, not to mention I had a perm and dyed hair.
 
Years ago my cousin and I attempted to create DIY electric blue highlights and tips (respectively) on our relaxed hair, not knowing a blasted thing about the process. So I apply her foils and then she applies mine. We are both nervous and I (apprehensive) keep checking to see if her colour is lifting. After a reasonable amount of time, worried that her hair is gonna fall out, I remove her foils to discover limp white strands of hair. To call us horrified bat**** crazy fools, would have been an understatement. If I was nervous before...boy now I'm sweating.

Desparate to stop the process, we're washing the the mix out. More white strands. Now she's rinsing, and I'm hurriedly ripping the foils from my hair... only to reveal my inner Ginger. We were a mess and way too scared to continue on to the blue.

We stuffed our hair (fortunately still on our heads) under a couple of hats, and jumped in the car to the nearest Sainsbury's to pick up two boxes of black hair dye. And wouldn't you know I tried to go to my stylist (at the time) a couple of weeks later like nothing happened:look:. He saw my attempted kill a mile off and made me promise not to use colour on my hair again. I never tried that again.

Not finishing my hair at night and calling out of work the next morning because I wanted to flat iron my hair and knew if I went outside without doing it, I would have to start the wash/condition process all over. Actually, I have done this several times over the years. Shooooot ... I only flat iron it a few times a year so nothing is coming in the way of completing my mission. :look:
