When I was in high school, I was going through my punk/goth phase. One day, I thought it would be so kickass if I could color my hair purple. My hair is naturally black so I had to bleach my hair first. My friend helped me but we had no experience whatsoever. So we put in the bleach all over my head. When I washed it off, it was uneven! I looked so stupid. My mom had to take me to a salon to have them fix it. My hair turned out fine in the end but it looked so skunky before I got it fixed. There's a photo below. The color faded unevenly but it kind of looked cool to have so many colors in my hair. Strangers used to come up to me all the time to tell me they loved my hair color. I think what they really meant was, "Hmm...you look special."
