What's the most evil thing you've ever done to your hair?

Come on, I want to know the worst thing you've done to your hair in your life! I don't mean to be anti-hair but thought it would be funny to see all the silly things everyone's done to their hair over time.

For me, probably the worst thing was when I watered down Domestos and shampooed with it, thinking that it would open the follicles and let the remaining dye come out of my hair. I left it on for ten minutes and was very lucky to only get an itchy scalp for the day and no hair damage that I could find.

I'd love to see if anyone can beat that

OOh!! Oooh!! Me next! lol

I used to flat iron my hair when it was damp with wax on it. I didn't think I got good results unless I could hear my hair sizzle.. eek!

I literally did this every other day for about 1 1/2 years.. maybe a little longer.

What is Domestos? It doesn't sound too hair friendly

It's toilet bleach lol.

The wax and straightening sounds scary! My ex hairdresser was a believer in smoke too.

wow that's pretty bad!!! I am glad you didn't burn your skin or your hair off. For some reason probably a small instinct of hair preservation I wouldn't touch bleach... yet I burnt my hair to a crisp nearly every day. Go figure

I know the feeling...when mine was shoulderlength, I'd straighten it every day without any protectants.

Its tame compared to the previous entries but I used to flat iron my hair every other day and more often than not neglected to use protective spray. Also, when I was in middle school, I used to frequently rip out chunks of my hair with my hands...just to prove I didn't care.

I don't understand my younger self either.

ETA: I just remembered, I one got my front bits caught up in one of those evil round brushes...had to hack it off. gaah!

I washed my hair everyday during a whole week with dish soap. I thought it would make the dye go away. Well, it didn't. My hair was very dry and my scalp so red and itchy! Stupid me .

The ripping chunks of hair out seriously gives me heebie jeebies...

Pre LHC I didn't even like to pluck a single hair from my head because it gave me the creepy-crawlies... imagine how bad I am now.
