WIBTA for asking my best friend to pay for half of the cost to color my hair
Hi Reddit, I (22M) need to know if I’d be the a**hole here. For context, my best friend (23F) and I have been inseparable for years. When her boyfriend now fiancé proposed, she asked me to be her man of honor. Of course I said yes immediately. I’ve been helping her plan this wedding for the past year and a half alongside her mom, and I’ve already spent over $600 to be part of everything. Now, here’s the important part: I have bright blue hair. I’ve had it for the last three years, and I’ve been doing vivid fashion colors for over a decade. From the VERY beginning of wedding planning, I asked her multiple times if my hair would be an issue. Every single time, she told me no it wouldn’t be a problem. Fast forward to TWO WEEKS before the wedding. She suddenly comes to me and asks if I can dye my hair back to a natural color for the wedding. After a year and a half of saying it was fine. So now I’m stuck. I can dye it myself—it’s not about that—but it’ll still cost around $50 plus tax. It’s not a huge amount, but it’s the principle of the thing. She reassured me over and over that my hair was okay, and now, last minute, she’s changing her mind. So I’m considering asking her to cover half the cost of fixing my hair about $25 since this change is coming entirely from her and very last minute. Would that make me the a**hole? Or is it fair, considering I’ve already spent $600+ on her wedding and only agreed to everything under the assumption my hair wasn’t an issue? Reddit, be honest WIBTA ————————— UPDATE: So I just got off the phone with the bride-to-be, and when I asked her why she suddenly wanted me to change my hair color and what made her change her mind after repeatedly telling me it was a non-issue she had no idea what I was talking about. She sounded genuinely confused. I told her, “Hey, you texted me this morning asking me to change my hair color,” and she said she never did any such thing. Well… lo and behold, it turns out her mother took her phone and messaged me, pretending to be the bride. Honestly, I’m not terribly shocked. Her mom has made plenty of comments about the wedding party before. For example, she said one of the bridesmaids should remove her nose ring (even though it has cultural significance), and that another should either not wear or somehow hide her insulin pump under her dress. She’s also made repeated comments about me being a man instead of a woman, and how “unconventional” it is for me to be the Maid of Honor. Anyway, my best friend made it very clear that under no circumstances does she want me to change my hair color this close to the wedding. She said it would be a completely ridiculous ask. So, I’m going to the wedding with my blue hair, despite her mother’s wishes. I’m still the Man of Honor, and I can’t wait to stand beside her on one of the most important days of her life. Now all that’s left is finding her something old, something new, something borrowed… and I’m her something blue. 💙 ————————— UPDATE #2 So one of you suggested that either the bride or myself reach out to the rest of the wedding party to see if the mom had pulled anything similar with them… and yeah. She absolutely did. She contacted three of the bridesmaids and one of the groomsmen, basically trying the same thing she tried with me. It gets worse though she asked one bridesmaid to hide her insulin pump, another to cover her tattoos, and told a groomsman not to wear his hearing aids. At this point, the bride is seriously debating whether she even wants her mother at the wedding anymore. We’ve now confirmed with everyone in the wedding party that no changes are actually needed, and we love everyone the way they are and it’s pretty clear the mother of the bride is just on a full-blown power trip. Because of all this, the bride and I are reaching out to the venue to arrange security in case anything goes sideways. We both agreed it’s better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it. As for what happens next, whatever the bride decides about her mom, I’m 100% backing her. This whole situation has been wild. Hopefully this is the final update thank you all for the advice and support. submitted by /u/RelativePlatform9463 to r/WIBTA_AITA [link] [comments]

Black box dye destroyed my hair.
I’ve been dying my hair black at home for at-least 12 years, but for maybe the past year and a half I started to realise that the dye wasn’t taking to some of my hair. Instead of coming out black it would come out an almost transparent orange. I assumed I just wasn’t saturating my hair enough or letting it process for enough time so last week (in desperation to have consistent black hair) I did a full head of foils, making sure to saturate and cover every inch of hair fully. This took three dye box’s and a lot more time. Instead of turning out black my hair is worse. It’s more transparent, it’s super slimy and gummy and dries hard and clumps together. I’m beside myself and have no idea what to do other than drown it in Olaplex and hope that it doesn’t just break off. I’ve been growing my hair for years and I fear the box dye is what’s been destroying the lengths of my hair. What did I do and how do I save it?? submitted by /u/New_Cow_3524 to r/Haircare [link] [comments]

My parents threatened to not attend my prom if I dye my hair purple.
So I F (18) am finishing high school this year, meaning that we have a kind of prom going on. It is different from the american prom since I'm from Europe. Basicly the idea of it is like a red carpet event with families sitting around circular tables, speaches and memories made throughout the highschool years. So a little thing about me is that I am a bit alternative, not to an extent i want to be mainly because of my parents and also probably because I'm too lazy to make up every day, so I keep it simple but not basic. Considering the fact that I like to be a little bit different I dye my hair a little bit more unusual, I dye it once a year (for the sake of my hair's health). On the other hand my parents are pretty old schooled and do not like anything more than slightly alternative. They were never huge fans of hair colours that I had. However it was just passive-agressive comments here and there usually from my mother also because I don't see my father as often (he is a workaholic). So now that prom is in 2 weeks I am in full preparation for it: getting the dress made and managing appointments and such. However I did not tell my parents any plans that i had nor for my dress nor for my hair or anything else, knowing that they would have issues. However I belive that it is my milestone and I wanna look how I want to on my special day. My mother did ask once or twice and I just told her that she shall see it when the time comes and just left it at that. So for my prom I was planning on wearing a black dress, that my aunt made me and dying my hair half purple and half black (split hair dye) which I had now, but i had it red and black. Today however my mother came into my room and started talking to me and she told me that if I dye my hair purple or any "not normal" colour she and my father will not be attending my prom. So now I am torn, should I dye my hair the way I want to or no? I do have to dye it, since the old dye is kinda grown out and it doesn't look the best at the moment since I have been waiting to dye it for prom. They are still my parents, on the other hand tho, do I really want someone, who is willing to not attend simply because of the colour that I choose for my hair, to even be there in the first place? I know me and my parents have never been too close but I was not expecting that ultimatum. I don't think im in the wrong here. What do yall think? submitted by /u/always_lagging to r/whatdoIdo [link] [comments]

Is it a bad idea to bleach and dye my curly hair?
Inspo pic: What the title says. I’ve had peak a boo hair for a while now with pink purple and blue along with my entire hair being purple but I didn’t bleach it. Just dyed it so it would show up in the light. My hair is pretty dark but it has purplish/red undertones because of the dye and my natural hair. The first time I did blue and pink hair I used developer but because it was only the under side of my hair, I don’t really have experience in bleaching my whole head. I’ve also had bleached highlights before but it was done professionally. My goal is to get blue purple and pink again, but on my entire head not just underneath. What’s the best way to go about this? Should I bleach it professionally and dye it at home, use developer, or what? I just want something that is the least damaging but will lighten my hair enough to the point that the color will show up. I should add: my hair is still purple and it’s still very bright underneath. Would I need color remover for that or could I just go over it? submitted by /u/Unique-Disaster3118 to r/HairDye [link] [comments]

35m - hair turning white (fast!) - anyone tried GHKCU / any novel ideas to reverse, slow or cover up? Rapid whitening over the past 12 months, especially on the sides.
Hi guys, 35 y/o m here. I've had white hairs popping up since my early 20s. Now at 35 (nearly 36) I've found that particularly over the past 12 months, I have a significant amount of my hair turning completely white from it's natural brown. I seem to skip grey altogether and go to quite sparkly/glistening white, which makes this stand out even more. For years I've dyed my hair as I have not felt ready to look like an old man. The white hair easily adds a decade to me. I've used women's line dye which I think has ended up looking more natural, although now need to do this every week rather than every couple of weeks otherwise I'm pretty much back to white as the sides grow out. The whitening of the hair is particularly on the sides and back of my head, not really on the top. Has anyone had any success in either reversing the onslaught of white hair, or covering it up more effectively, especially if you have short hair as a man and the new hair grows back quickly? I'd heard that some people have had success with the peptide GHK-CU by pinning it - I'm a bit worried to try that but am at a stage where I'd give most things a try. I know a lot of people say embrace it, deal with it, we all get older etc. but I don't feel ready to have white/50 yo hair at 35 and it really knocks my confidence, so I'm still at the reverse/slow down/mask stage. A lot of people also say better grey than bald but I was also losing my hair since 18, have had one transplant + meds (Dutasteride + oral minoxidyl) to try to slow that down. Dad went bald young. Mum got grey young - so I have the worst of both worlds genetically to battle with. Has anyone experienced the same and used supplements, alternative therapies like mesotherapy for hair or anything else that they would say has been effective? I do have very high inflammation levels and have been on prescribed immunosuppressant medication for years as the only thing that calms otherwise really significant skin issues (extreme dermatitis / eczema) has been this... and I do wonder whether this systemic inflammation has a hand in the white hairs/hair thinning. submitted by /u/1990ben1990 to r/greyhairreversal [link] [comments]

AITAH for dyeing my hair pink behind my boyfriends back?
So ever since I knew that hair dying was possible, Ive been wanting to have pink hair. I am now a teenager and can legally dye my hair without my parents consent. However, my boyfriend had been asking me not to. He said he disliked dyed hair and tattoos and piercings, etc. I really love him and I dont want him to break up with me over something like that, so we talked about it and he said if I wanted I could dye my hair, but not fully and he said no abstract colours like pink or blue or just anything not natural. So yesterday I went to my friend and we dyed my hair. I didnt dye it completely, only my bangs fully and some highlights in the back, because he said he loved my hair and didnt want me to destroy it, so I thought this was a good compromise. When I told him proudly that I had dyed my hair he only answered with "?!". He had threatened me before that he would give me the silent treatment if I dyed my hair fully, so now Im scared I got him mad? Im not sure if hes mad. He didnt write me again so I wondered if just dying my hair against his wished might have been an asshole move? My bestie had been saying if he doesnt approve of the choices I do with my body, hes not the one, but I feel really unsure now. I feel like this might be a stupid question, but AITAH for disregarding his wishes? Edit: Thank you soso much for all the feedback! I didnt expect my post to get any attention lol. So many asked how old I or my boyfriend are: I am currently 17, my boyfriend is 16. We are apart by a few months, so we're both children and still figuring things out. Where I live you are only allowed to dye your hair without your parents consent after 16, and I was really nervous so Ive taken a bit of time to choose the color etc. so now Im 17 already. So, many of you said I should break up with my boyfriend, but I really dont want to break up. He and I have been best friends for half my live. He had been there through every hardship and supported me so he really means a lot to me. So I decided to confront him and then think about what to do. He actually didnt give me the silent treatment after, he just glanced at my hair in some weird way I couldnt place, but didnt treat me differently. But I still talked to him and told him that I felt hurt by his threat. He apologised and told me that he had his reasons to not want me to dye my hair and he was so scared that Id do it anyway, so he came to the conclusion that threatening was a good idea. He told me he really loved my hair and the smell and texture of it and said that he was scared it would be ruined from the bleach. He said he had nothing against dyed hair, but he didnt want me to ruin my hair. Another reason he said is, that he has seen me struggle with bullying in the past and he said that if I dyed my hair any unusual color the bullying might get worse again. I understand his concern cuz he was there when I tried to off myself from the bullying. We talked a bit more and he said he loved me nonetheless and that it was wrong for him to be so mean to me just because he was scared. That talk was a bit over a week ago now, and ever since then it feels like things have been even better than before; I feel more confident in my own skin and my boyfriend still loves me as much as ever. I am thankful for all your thoughts on my situation and thank you soso much for helping me actually get the courage to confront him and make things up. I wont break up with him because its been almost a decade that we've been friends and this was the first instance of this weird behaviour, but thank you all sososo much for your kind and helpful comments! submitted by /u/KokoroUwU to r/AITAH [link] [comments]

Am I the Ah for refusing to apologize to my cousin on Facebook for the dress I wore to her wedding? UPDATE: 1
Hey everyone. I tried to do an update on my post but I don’t know how to do that so I’ll just tag this in my post for those who are interested. I wanted to clear up a few questions that I have seen in the comments; I’ve tried to read them all but more and more keep popping up and I haven’t had the time to keep up. First off, multiple people asked me who has passed away. My adopted mother’s parents both passed away about 4 years ago when my son was 1 year old. Second, my son is 5 years old, my daughter is 6 months. Third, the aunt that my family is NC with is not my uncles wife. She is his and my mom’s adopted sister. She did some crazy things at the funeral and tried to contest the will to get a bigger share of the accents and was very mad when she lost in court and is still trying to threaten legal action even tho there is nothing left to dispute. (Lmk if y’all what this tea bc it’s HOT haha.) Fourth, I will not be posting a picture of my body in the dress. Multiple people have asked to see me in it to “get an idea” but I really don’t feel comfortable with that. Even if I blur out my background and face, I do not want to read gross/rude comments about what my body or be body shamed again. Multiple said they didn’t think I looked good because I am so short, but I did wear heels and with that, it made me about 5’4. The dress did touch the ground, I got a medium. And yes my cousin also wore heels so she was still taller than me. And for the people who are going to say, “yOu WoRe HeeLS aFtEr HaViNg a BaBy?” Yes I did, I have wore heels for many years and even throughout my pregnancy so it was really no big deal. Fifth, I don’t know why people are so concerned about my hair color. I only added that in for the vision with the dress. I have naturally plain brown hair. I have been getting a blonde balayage since I was 15 and only this last month have I put purple in it for Halloween coming up. Multiple people are saying that it’s fake, but it’s hair dye… I can dye my hair any color.. Sixth, people have been asking why do I even post this if I’m just going to go NC with her anyways. I just wanted to advise on how to move forward. I only have 1 uncle and aunt on my mom’s side that we talk to. This is her only blood family and if I do go Nc with my cousin it would make things very awkward for my mom and she doesn’t deserve that. She adopted my brother and I when we were little and has been an excellent mom to us. And I can’t expect my uncle to uninvited one of his daughters from holidays because her and I aren’t talking. Seventh, there was nothing at all said about not wearing “red”. The burgundy color was approved on her color list on the invitation link and other people wore that color too. No one had said anything about this color being off limits or having some alternate meaning. I just followed the instructions. Eighth, people also have a problem with the way I described myself saying I must be a man. I am not lol. But I can see why that has come up a few times, I was detailed with our body description but not enough with actual sizes. I did that on purpose but I already posted in one of the comments that I am currently a 40 DD. My bio dad’s family carries this gene and every woman in his family is under 5‘3 with a larger chest and butt. That’s just how we are built. But keep in mind I’m also breast feeding, so when I’m not I’m usually a 34 DD to a 36DD just depending on the brand of bra and where I go. If I go to VS, I size up. If I go to Walmart I size down. And the dress I chose was specifically chosen so I could just side one side down to have easier access to feed my daughter. I wore a strapless bra with my milk pad inserts and another strapless bra over it to try and make the circle rings less noticeable. Some of you have had great ideas on what to post on Facebook to be petty about it. I had a few good laughs at those. I honestly don’t even know why she mentioned Facebook since I’m not friends with any of her extended family on there. The only people who would even see my post would be her, her parents, along with my dads and husband’s side of the family. I don’t know how I’m supposed to “clear” anything up since I’m not friends with anyone else on there that attended her wedding. She might have tried to share it to her page or something, but I’ve decided that’s not happening. Ok so on to the update: it’s been almost a week since the wedding and 2 days since my post. Not much has happened but I do have some screen shots from her messages. I have not replied back to my cousin. I did in the beginning but just stopped replying and currently blocked her. This whole thing was very strange. I feel bad for my mom because she is stuck in the middle of this. I have told her that I will not be attending any more family functions if my cousin is going to be there and that I was very sorry but didn’t want my kids to be around her. My mom understood but is still upset that my holidays will now be spent with my dad’s side of the family or my husband’s. They rarely got to see her brother since he lived so far away and holidays were the only time she got to really see him. I have told her she can go without me and we can still do a make up holiday the day before or after at my grandparents house on my dad’s side and she seems to have accepted this. submitted by /u/just-curiou1 to r/CharlotteDobreYouTube [link] [comments]

Purple dye for someone that washes hair everyday?
(The pic is from Pinterest, it's my desired shade. The comments under it are turned off so I have no idea what hair dye is that :/ ) Hi everyone! I've been dyeing my hair professionally for 2/3 years now. It started with pink highlights, then half of my head then whole head in vibrant pink. Then I started to branch out to other colours: navy and then purple. I never had problem with pink: it would last for months, it would fade out to this pretty baby pink and when it got bad I would go to my hairdresser. Blue also held for a long time before fading to a total blonde. But purple on the other hand does not last for me at all. I need to wash my hair every single day. I went to many dermatologists, nothing helped and I just got used to it. I usually use Elseve shampoo (meant for dyed hair/blondes) or Pantene (also for dyed and damaged hair) and Elseve purple conditioner. No matter what I use, how frequently I wash my hair, it immediately washes off. Once I used a purple toner by onlybio. It lasted me the longest (a few months) but then it wouldn't even budge from my hair. I had to bleach it. My hair is almost always bleached to the platinum so I don't think it's an issue. Does anyone recommend long lasting purple hair dyes in a colour simillar to this picture? submitted by /u/xXxKirka-ChanxXx to r/HairDye [link] [comments]

Dyeing your own hair/covering up grey roots….
….please share your wisdom. After seeing this idea in another conversation I have become obsessed with learning how. Share your wisdom about what works and why? I pay a lot for my hair and I’d love to save this money. What would be salon-worthy or close? Can you suggest brands, tips, tricks and how to dye your roots or hair without making a mess. How long does it take you to do? And how do you keep your hair healthy? (And yes I know I could grow out my grey but it’s not cute enough yet.) submitted by /u/Fluffy_Ring9699 to r/Frugal [link] [comments]

Decided to combine my love of hair dye with PJSK in case anyone has the idea to try this...
So I've had lilac dyed hair for over 2 years now and I recently had the intrusive thought to add a blue streak like Rui's. It got me thinking how one could dye their hair to match the other characters too! So in case anyone else has had similar ideas, I hope this helps! submitted by /u/Bolvane to r/ProjectSekai [link] [comments]

(29/F) About to dye my hair again, should I go full platinum again? Any other suggestions for change welcomed
I’m about to dye my hair again, for the last 5+ years I just do full all over platinum, but I’m wondering if I should do something different this time, but I have no idea what or if I should just stick with my classic. The first two pics are from this week. The last 3 are from last year right after I got my hair redone so you can see what it looks like full platinum. Also, any makeup or style advice is welcomed. I’m not sure if the look I have going is working for me or not, I don’t rly have girl friends or friends in general besides my coworkers so I don’t get any feedback irl, any and all comments are welcomed! submitted by /u/Elvlxx to r/Howtolooksmax [link] [comments]

AITA for dyeing my hair against my wife’s wishes because I don’t like how fast I’m going grey?
I (30M) decided to dye my hair to cover up my greys. My wife (29F) was not crazy about the idea of me dyeing my hair in this first place, and all of a sudden said she likes my increasingly obvious grey hairs. I definitely got my dad’s genes. His hair started greying in his mid twenties, and by 40 he was perfectly salt and pepper. Now he’s approaching 60 with almost no brown hairs left. He decided to go grey gracefully, I didn’t want to do that. One night over dinner, I mentioned to her how I’ve been seeing grey hairs since my early twenties, and my method of dealing with them was to pluck them out with tweezers, despite always hearing how that’s counterproductive. Eventually, they were growing in faster than I could pluck them. And more recently, I noticed an alarming amount of half-grey hairs that were in the process of becoming full grey. Fed up with it on a personal level, I told my wife I want to dye my hair. I told her that I’m not ready to go grey yet, and I’m gonna go buy a hair dyeing kit that matches my hair color, which she adamantly refused to let me do, as if I asked for her permission. She started complimenting my greys and saying that it’s sexy, and that dyeing my hair is pretty feminine and she wouldn’t find it attractive if I did it. I have very thick, curly, shoulder length hair that I take good care of. I’m proud of my natural hair, but I feel like I should have a say on when I let it turn grey, even though my DNA and wife say otherwise. So I did it. For my first time ever attempting to dye my hair, it turned out great, and I was surprised with how easy the process was. All of my greys are gone, I’m satisfied with the way it looks, and she noticed right away. She acted like I betrayed her in some way. She has had nothing to say about my hair, and it feels as if she looks as my differently now. It’s almost as if she didn’t want me to be confident in my looks. Is she overreacting, or AITA? submitted by /u/DCONightingale to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

I now understand why people dye there hair fun colors
I (m46) have a daughter (f13) who recently got diagnosis with Leukemia. She got a port in yesterday and is going to start chemo in a few days. She asked a few days ago since she won't have hair for a while after starting chemo if she can dye her hair blue which has always been her favorite color. I never liked the idea of colorful dye hair but I figured why not. I talked to a friend who is a hairstylist and she told me what I should buy and how to do it so I could do it at home. Her hair is naturally blonde so it was easy to dye and ill admit it turned out great. This happened a few hours ago and she is still smiling over her awesome new hair color. Now seeing her with the biggest smile on her face I understand why people dye their hair... It makes them happy which should be a good enough reason that I never understood before. submitted by /u/cj_57823 to r/offmychest [link] [comments]

Lol, MIL is trying to force her 35 year old to dye her hair.
I just thought I would share the craziness that happened this weekend when we went on a trip with the in laws. MIL despises me. I'm not sure if she has ever even spoken a full sentence to me. The relationship is so strained that I realized recently that I don't even know her full name (she goes by a nickname and I had no idea what it was short for) Anyway we are all the same race, relatively the same height, but MIL and JYSIL have always had black hair, and I have always lightened my hair a little. SIL recently decided to put some brown in her hair, and MIL didn't seem to think anything of it. MildyNO FIL called it ugly, and MIL actually told him to shut up and it's SIL's hair. I was sitting at the kitchen island in the rental house and MIL was behind me, then out of no where she screamed and took a running step away from me, so everyone is asking her if she is okay and she didn't speak for a moment, then looking like she was going to die, MIL said she almost kissed me because she thought I was her daughter. Not that I wanted a kiss, but I couldn't stop laughing at how hysterical she was. MIL called us all assholes and ran off. The next day MIL said that SIL who is 35 years old, needs to dye her hair back. SIL said no, and MIL started yelling about after what happened "to her" the other day, it needs to go back. SIL told her to stop being ridiculous, and MIL said she looked up a salon and she will pay, and tried to drag SIL to the car. SIL reminded her of what she said to FIL about it being her hair, and MIL stormed off to sulk. The day MIL and FIL left, MIL stared SIL up and down before she kissed her, which SIL and I do look somewhat alike but seriously, she can't recognize her own daughter? submitted by /u/HuntConscious4564 to r/JUSTNOMIL [link] [comments]

AITA for dyeing my daughters’ hair even though it makes her step siblings jealous?
I have 2 daughters, M is 8 and C is 4. M’s dad and I aren’t together anymore. M lives with me most of the time. I dye M’a hair, and I have since she was about 6 (she asked me to). We started with color spray and hair chalk and clip ins and moved to semi-permanent dye recently. I shave my head and mostly wear wigs (alopecia) and some of them are very colorful and fun, she likes to match mommy. C gets hair chalk to match her big sis as well. Obviously kids like colorful fun hair. We started doing more color/rainbow stuff during quarantine. She loves it but my ex (her dad) asked me to stop dyeing her hair. M has two step siblings (my ex’s new wife’s kids). I think the boy is around 10 and the little girl is 7ish. They apparently love M’s hair when she comes over and want colorful hair too, esp the daughter. My ex’s wife is anti-hair color and refuses, saying they’re too young and she doesn’t want their teachers to see it, it looks bad, etc. I’m fine with her choice but the kids are jealous and she wants me to stop dyeing M’s hair because they don’t think it’s fair their step sis gets pretty hair and they don’t. I told her just to get clip in extensions since they’re temp but she doesn’t like that idea, and thinks M is “too young” for that think anyways. For the record her dad has always been on board with the hair dye until now. I told her I’m not gonna stop letting my daughter do something that makes her happy just to sate her children. She can either let them join or inform them that sometimes you can’t get what you want just because someone else has it. Her dad wants me to go along with it for now to keep the peace so M won’t be resented by her steps. If I stopped her or made her go back to temporary dye (which she doesn’t like as much) she’d be upset too. Am I being unreasonable? submitted by /u/babydyedyedye to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

AITA for dyeing my hair to match my wife's hair?
I'm practicing at English so stay with me. My wife since the beginning of the year has talked about dyeing her hair blue. I told her I probably wouldn't like it. I never said don't do it just that I may not like it. She stopped bringing it up afterwards. Until a couple of weeks ago. She told me she wanted to dye her hair blue. I again said I might not like it but she was still talking about it more and more. In my head I knew she was gonna do it anyway. Last week she came home with blue hair. I don't like it. She doesn't like it either but she said she was gonna keep it for a few weeks. I had the perfect idea to dye my hair blue as well to match hers. I thought this would be hilarious and we would both walk around with something we don't like. I showed it to her and she fucking hated it. She hated it so much that she left the house and went to her sister. She's back now but still claims she hates it. I told my brother and my parent about it. My brothers thought it was funny as well. My parents said it was an asshole move to make fun of her like that. Her sister thought it was funny. I thinks it's a harmless joke and it's not a big deal because it's not permitted. My wife thinks I'm an Asshole as well. So reddit AITA? submitted by /u/ThrowAssholemenot to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

WIBTA if I refused to attend my cousins wedding after she asked me to dye my ginger hair?
Yes I'm aware that my cousin posted here and oh the irony as i showed her this sub last year, but I really don't care if she sees this, maybe it'll hammer the point home. And I doubt she will see it as they are currently on their pre wedding honeymoon, legit didn't even know those were a thing. So Amy is getting married, she has a blue and green and purple theme for the wedding. People are supposed to wear these colours including the moh and the bridesmaids. What irked me about that post was that my hair is NOT FLAMING MERIDA RED. maybe slightly more ginger in low light This whole thing is completely insane to me and I have no idea where it has come from. My hair 2 3 is what i would describe as strawberry blonde, maybe ginger blonde. Those are actual picture's of my hair not some poor stranger's instagram. Things have been awkward from the start with Amy demanding that everyone has to stick to this dress code or they will be barred by security at the damn door. She has also asked anyone with hair past their waist to cut it in a Facebook post but it got no replies and I can't think of anyone except me and maybe my sister with suoer long hair. My mum and dad are both way more ginger than me and my sister who is 8 months pregnants hair is not much shorter than mine and is super ginger, and Amy never asked her to touch her hair? if anything I got the dull hair geane. At first Amy called up to tell me she had made a post here, I took a look and had to laugh to be honest, She linked me early on clealry thinking people would agree with her but she said she was worried because it blew up. After things went south she decided to try and "negotiate" with me, still completely bizzare as my hair is not merida red. My mum and dad called round a few days back to talk about it but got absolutely nowhere with her as she's still insisting i dye my hair a dark brown for the day or get a wig. My aunt, Amy's mom called to apologise to me and asked me to please come but I don't feel welcome, can you imagine attending a wedding where the bride stares daggers at you the whole time? and what if the security refuse to let me in. these are extremely similar to the gowns the bridesmaids are going to wear, I've tired mine on and it absolutely dose not clash at all. I brought and paid for my dress so I don't owe her anything but our families are so upset that I'm dropping out. But if I go I have no choice except to dye my hair as there never was a compromise or middle ground, it was dye it, buy a short brown bob wig or don't come. She specified it has to be a short brown bob wig for some reason. WIBTA if I just say fuck it and stay home. EDIT also to be fair i dyed a small strand underneath to test how it washed out 4 weeks ago, it is STILL DARK BROWN submitted by /u/freakingmerida to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

WIBTA if I Spike My Shampoo With Hair Dye?
Technically not me, but my boyfriend's, but he doesn't have an account, so here goes: We live in shared housing on campus. Most of my housemates are friends, but one of them moved in later on and we're not very close to her. She's usually drunk and when she has her friends over, we can't get any sleep because of all the noise she makes. We sometimes find her passed out on the top her mountain of stuff in her room that she never cleans. She (or her friends) had also stolen the sandwiches I'd packed before a day out (which I found out after I'd gone out). Recently, my other housemate had noticed that her shampoo had been going down more than she was using it. By process of elimination, we guessed that it was probably that housemate. We are quite done with her shit by now, and we're thinking of spiking some shampoo in an opaque bottle with hair dye to teach her a lesson. If it doesn't go in her hair, at least her hands will be coloured. So, in doing this, AITA? Edit: Due to valid concerns, her hair is dyed. It would be unlikely that she's allergic to substances she's already used. Edit #2: Yes, hair dye might not be the best idea. We are looking at the alternatives you guys are suggesting. We don't want to do damage, just send a message that she needs to stop. Edit #3: Pasting one of my replies for visibility: We've talked to her about it, kind of harder to forget when you've stumbled out to the kitchen at 3 in the morning after a 12 hour shift (medical student, so he does regular training in medical facilities) to a bunch of drunk people howling and pounding the kitchen table in. Right now she's got friends in her room, door's closed and we can hear her howling in the opposite end of the place with our door closed. We've also talked to her about the sandwich, she blames it on her friends (that she doesn't control or take responsibility for). My boyfriend's only plate (heyyy student life) was also "loaned" once and he couldn't have his daily cereal. He caught her a few days later trying to sneak it back to the kitchen, which when confronted, she broke down into tears. She's also left Indian food in her room once, for half a week. The entire house stank of rotting food and then her cloying perfume because she thought that was a good idea. She's only been here about one and a half months. We're quite tired. We're not going to put Nair in the shampoo because we're not that cruel, but she needs to stop, and she doesn't own up when we ask her about things. submitted by /u/darkchoc_muffins to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]
