My wife asked me to help her bleach her hair and I ended up ruining it, and now I'm afraid she wants revenge..?

[JackBevilstache]

See, she wanted her hair frosted, and since money is tight, she bought a frosting cap and asked me to help her with her hair. Now, this is not something I've ever done before, and I was pretty irritated that she was having me help out. I mean, it isn't like that's something I should be forced to help with. It just isn't right. Also, there was a game on Tivo that I had been waiting to watch all week, and I did not want to be interrupted in watching it.



Anyhow, it was one of those hats where you have to pull the hair through these little holes, then put this junk on it and let it sit for awhile. She wanted me to be careful and only pull through a little hair through each hole, but I was impatient to get to the game, and just jerked clumps through. She kept asking, "Are you being careful?" I said I was, and just hurried through it, poured the junk on it, then put this little plastic cover on it. It was supposed to sit on there for about a half hour.



My wife had a headache, and leaned back in the recliner and shut her eyes, and asked me to keep watch on the time and not let it go longer than a half hour. She actually wanted me to wake her in about 20 minutes. Well, I got to watching the game, and before I knew it, over an hour had passed. I woke her up, saying it was time to rinse her hair, and as she was waking up, she was saying, "Wow, this hat feels really hot. No wonder I'm sweating." She didn't look at the time, and I was nervous that she would ask how long it had been. I went back to the game.



Well, she starts yelling from the bathroom, and I ran in to see that her hair had gotten really messed up. A lot of it was just breaking off, and what wasn't breaking off was like straw. It was all in uneven patches too, and just looked like hell. Well, she was mad, very mad. I couldn't help laughing, though; she asked what I was laughing for, and I told her that it looked like a horse had been chewing on her hair. She didn't seem to like me saying that. She lashed back, saying, "you think this is funny, huh? How funny would you think it was if something happened to your moustache while you were asleep, huh? I bet you'd be laughing then!"



So now I'm half afraid to go to sleep. Was she serious? What should I do? Oh, she had to go to the beauty shop today and get it burred off. I tried to joke with her, saying I didn't realize I was married to Sinead O'Connor, but she isn't speaking to me. :(

You're such an ass to your wife! In all your questions.

Poor woman. Unless you're just a funny troll.

[Ocimom502]

Let this be a lesson learned. Both of you were wrong. You should have been more careful (game or no game) if you agreed to help.

The first time my step-son asked me to help with doing something similar (highlight his hair) I was smart enough to tell him "sorry but I don't do hair - I've never done it before, and don't want to mess it up".

He got his brother to help out and it turned out fine; but I was not gonna be blamed if it didn't turn out!

[Flying_James]

Wow, bad moves on your part. If I were you, I would sleep in another room & lock the door until her hair grows back. And keep the jokes to yourself.

At this point, the important thing is to save the 'stache. Try to shave it off all in one piece, put it on ice, then wait for her to cool down and reattach...or you could just put her on ice.

[Mamacitaloca817]

lmaof..while trying to finish reading it..and believe meh I don't read every single thing on here..lol!!

First of all women are total pyscho about hair and I think you should sleep with one eye open or pray your not bald when you wake up.

two next time try to give her a treat and take her to the hair salon instead of making it a living hell.

three I do my hair salon visit every 2 months and let me tell you..He pays everytime bc he does not want stains or me taking up the bathroom doing my own and he does not want to help either..so make a deal with her or something..every women is worth at least 2 visits every other month to a salon.

four it came out more expensive than cheap when you screwed her hair up..she might to RE DYE it again and best bet go too salon to get high lights than you doing her hair.
My man gave me a wax ONE time and I ended up in ER bleeding all over..bc he pulled to hard and lifted some flesh..lesson learn leave it best to the pros.

[BettyM922]

Smarten up! There is one thing you don't do and that's make jokes about your wife's damaged hair, especially when you're the one who destroyed it.

To be fair, your wife has a shortage of brains. No woman in her right mind would ever ask her husband to bleach or cut her hair. I would never let a man touch my hair, unless he was a licensed beautician.

Don't be surprised if you wake up one morning and find a pile of hair bleach on the top of your hair and your hair all falls out when you wash it. Or she may decide to do that to your eyebrows and mustache.

[LexieLeruetotherescue]

Hey, This is my wifes account but be assured that I am a guy and I have been down that same path, only my wife wanted me to CUT her hair! just a little to get the dead ends you know but I had to get it even. Well guess what I dont know how to cut chicks hair and she knows that so she shouldnt have assumed that I could pull it off and have it look good, so she had to get it fixed and we both learned our lesson, shell never ask me again and if she does ill will respectfully decline.
Men always try to carry out there wives orders to some extent to be a good husband and because we know that if we dont obey there will be hell to pay. Women should know this therefore they shouldnt hold us accountable for when we screw something up because chances are we will screw up. So in this situation hang tight, her hair will grow back she will forgive you and youll never have to deal with her hair again. If she doesnt forgive you then I suggest taking her to counseling cuz theres some deeper issues there.

You bloody great twit, don't you know if a hairdresser did that to her, she could sue the salon for thousands. I do see the funny side of it though, but why oh why don't listen to women, especially in a case like that. And its true how would you feel if she had done something like that to you.

Be our hair long or short, hair to a woman is more important that dress or jewelry, for if your hair is not right, don't matter the brand name of clothes a woman is wearing, the overall picture ain't right. I doubt she'd do something to you, that I feel is just a threat, for basically she would be scared too. There won't be a next time she will allow you near her hair anymore, but better to have stood up to her and tell her your watching a program on telly that you don't want to miss, and that you'd have done it when that program finish. You big hunk of coward !!

Anyway you made me laugh for I can just imagine the scene, but in future please take heed of what the wife say's, for if its to do with feminine things of women she does know what she's doing.

Sleep with one eye open.
