Burnt Patch

Well it was my anniversary with my boyfriend of 10 months at the time. I was getting all dolled up, and I was in a rush that I just forgot to put in heat protector for my hair.

So I started straightening my hair, with the straightener on full heat. I was almost getting angry because my hair wasn't looking the way I wanted it to. I just straightened and straightened for about half an hour and it happened. I didn't notice it at first but when i combed out my hair in the end, a patch of hair just came off. I hadn't realized how long I was taking with the straightener and I just burned a huge patch of hair off of my head. It was horrible, I had to get it cut the next day!
