    So i dyed my hair blue today (yay!) and my hairdresser worked really hard on it and she did such a good job. I have anxiety and sometimes it makes me feel guilty about things that aren't my fault. So one of my friends who dyes her own hair commented on my instagram and said "i could have done a better job" and it makes me so sad because i love my hair and i would be so upset if my hairdresser ever saw that comment and it hurt her feelings. I know its an overreaction but its just my anxiety that makes me like this :frowning2: I don't want to just delete the comment because then my friend will think I'm too sensitive and I don't think she meant it like my hair is ugly, I think she just meant she wished I would have asked her to do it instead. Its hard to tell with her, she has a weird sense of humor lol

    It's possible that your friend meant the comment differently, but my first reaction was that it was a pretty rude thing to post, even if true.

    It's your instagram - if you want to delete it, I say go for it. :slight_smile:

    When I first read what she wrote, I thought, "Wow, how rude and insensitive!" But as I continued to read your post, I realized that maybe - just maybe, she said it in a tongue-in-cheek kind of way, and didn't mean to upset you or anyone else. You say she has a weird sense of humour, so don't rule out the possibility that it was indeed tongue-in-cheek.

    I am a very sensitive person and I take most things very personally. So, like you, I will also be offended and upset at that comment. Like Gravity said, it's your Instagram. So if you feel like it would be better to remove it, then feel free to do so. :slight_smile:

    Oh, and congrats on your new hair colour! I'm sure you look amazing :wink:
