    Default The left half of my hair was burned off tonight

    I lost a bunch of hair and it sucked.

    But it could be worse.

    Good thing for whiskey.

    You have good perspective, that's awesome. Why not try a closure piece in the meanwhile? It's kind of like a lace wig but just the top portion of it so it sits on the crown and the hair hangs down the sides. If it's just one side of hair, and you can find a good color match, you could probably cut it (carefully) in half so it just hangs over the one side.
    Another option is a clip in piece.

    ETA: I just thought of another possibility which is getting some hand tied wefts (super thin and not bulky) and then make some braid rows, you can sew each weft (folded in 1/2 since it's not recommended to cut handtied) onto each row

    Oh my gosh! Was it drunken silliness and a candle, maybe sex perhaps? Been there.

    Yes, drunken silliness, but not on my part.

    Not sex-related, at least this time.

    I didn't even know it happened until like ten minutes later. That's the part that really freaked me out. Burned hair smells bad.

    I think I just wrote a haiku!

    So, one side of your head was in flames and you didn't notice? Yikes. Glad you're okay.

    A crowd and compact space aggravates it. People were smoking indoors and that distracted me too.

    I've been in strip clubs where that's happened though. Seen dancers with long hair get it singed off and not notice. By the time you smell the burned hair smell it seems a lot's gone at that point.

    ah, i thought you were playing with matches.

    i didn't realize it was a bar/club situation. there was someone else that lit their hair on fire by accident a few months back (candle?) and i just ASSuMEd it was similar. my bad.

    too bad you didn't get a chance to smack the offender.

    You seem to be handling it with such grace. I'd probably be crying hysterically and throwing things.

    I'm sorry it happened to you. How unfair. I highly doubt it detracts from your beauty, however.

    I did that when I was eleven. Apparently something about writing on a table covered with candles and forgetting to tie up ones waist-length hair just doesn't create a good situation.

    A bartender at Burlington Station Pub in Turlock, CA nearly singed my hair during a Bacardi 151 firebreathing trick. I had my back turned. If I hadn't been wearing a leather jacket he would have scorched my shoulder. Better watch out for that dude, LOL!

    Best to have a good attitude about these things.
