YOUR biggest in the name of BEAUTY mistake ?

[Jenn218]

Here are some of mine:

I went to get my hair cut and permed (when I was in middle school), the lady cut my hair first and then permed it...well, with the perm, that made it curl up so my hair was super short w/ a perm....horrible!

Another time, my cousins friend (or something like that) was going to beauty school and talked me into going....she fried my hair and the color turned out bright red.....then, she bobbed it, I have super thick here.....I looked like Raggedy Ann!

My lesson wasn't learned from that beauty school experience....I had stopped in for a quick eye brow arch and came out with nearly none left. The girl started off really good and then SIX of her friends (from out of town) stopped by to chat on their way somewhere....it was horrible.

In middle school or so, I wanted bangs...so I pulled me hair down and cut where I thought I wanted me bangs to hit....well, when I let go, my hair bounced up and, um, my bangs were not where I wanted them....they were short...I barely had any bags!!

I also used Mayo for a hair conditioner once and I thought I had to leave it in....that was horrible....yep, I didn't wash or rinse it out.....don't ask...I don't know what I was thinking....duh!!

I sunbathed outside with lemon juice for "tanning oil" (a friend swore it worked great)....well, it didn't and I was blistered....severely...

Celstu1, this is the FUNNIEST! I had all the ladies in the office reading it, and we were crying, we were laughing so hard. One girl had to leave and go to the bathroom because she almost had an accident she thought it was so funny!

the penguin walk...glued to the porcelain...blinded from pain-OMG this is so well written and HILARIOUS!

I definitely copied that and forwarded it out to a few in emails. Thanks for posting that-you made our afternoons yesterday!

I've always had the habit of growing my hair really long, then chopping it off. Now I'm one of those people that looks like I'm still in my early teens and I'm 20... lol... the short hair makes me look even younger. When I was 14 I was trying to get into modeling and was accepted, but I got excited, wanted a hair cut and chopped off all of my hair to my chin. They took the pics, but I never got a job with anything.

My night began as any other normal weeknight. Come home, fix dinner, play with the kids. I then had the thought that would ring painfully in my mind for the next few hours: "Maybe I should pull the waxing kit out of the medicine cabinet." So I headed to the site of my demise: the bathroom.

It was one of those "cold wax" kits. No melting a clump of hot wax, you just rub the strips together in your hand, they get warm and you peel them apart and press them to your leg (or wherever else) and you pull the hair right off. No muss, no fuss. How hard can it be? I mean, I'm not a genius, but I am mechanically inclined enough to figure this out.

So I pull one of the thin strips out. Its two strips facing each other stuck together. Instead of rubbing them together, my genius kicks in so I get out the
hair dryer and heat it to 1000 degrees. ("Cold wax," yeah...right!) I lay the strip across my thigh. Hold the skin around it tight and pull. It works! OK, so it wasn't the best feeling, but it wasn't too bad. I can do this! Hair removal no longer eludes me! I am She-rah, fighter of all wayward body hair and maker of smooth skin extraordinaire.

With my next wax strip I move north. After checking on the kids, I sneak back into the bathroom, for the ultimate hair fighting championship. I drop my panties and place one foot on the toilet. Using the same procedure, I apply the one strip across the right side of my bikini line, covering the right half of my *hoo-hoo* and stretching down to the inside of my butt cheek (Yes, it was a long strip) I inhale deeply and brace myself....RRRRIIIPPP!!!!

I'm blind!!! Blinded from pain!!!!....OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!! Vision returning, I notice that I've only managed to pull off half the strip.

CRAP!!! Another deep breath and RRIIPP!! Everything is swirly and spotted. I think I may pass out...must stay conscious...Do I hear crashing drums??? Breathe, breathe...OK, back to normal.

I want to see my trophy - a wax covered strip, the one that has caused me so much pain, with my hairy pelt sticking to it. I want to revel in the glory that is my triumph over body hair. I hold up the strip! There's no hair on it. Where is the hair??? WHERE IS THE WAX???

Slowly I ease my head down, foot still perched on the toilet. I see the hair. The hair that should be on the strip. I touch. I am touching wax.

CRAP! I run my fingers over the most sensitive part of my body, which is now covered in cold wax and matted hair. Then I make the next BIG mistake...remember my foot is still propped up on the toilet? I know I need to do something. So I put my foot down.

DAMN!!!!!!!! I hear the slamming of a cell door. *hoo-hoo*? Sealed shut! Butt?? Sealed shut!

I penguin walk around the bathroom trying to figure out what to do and think to myself "Please don't let me get the urge to poop. My head may pop off!" What can I do to melt the wax? Hot water!! Hot water melts wax!!!

I'll run the hottest water I can stand into the bathtub, get in, immerse the wax-covered bits and the wax should melt and I can gently wipe it off, right???
WRONG!!!!!!!

I get in the tub - the water is slightly hotter than that used to torture prisoners of war or sterilize surgical equipment - I sit.

Now, the only thing worse than having your nether regions glued together is having them glued together and then glued to the bottom of the tub...in scalding hot water. Which, by the way, doesn't melt cold wax.

So, now I'm stuck to the bottom of the tub as though I had cement-epoxied myself to the porcelain!!

God bless the man who had convinced me a few months ago to have a phone put in the bathroom!!!!!

I call my friend, thinking surely she has waxed before and has some secret of how to get me undone. It's a very good conversation starter - "So, my butt and who-ha are glued together to the bottom of the tub!"

There is a slight pause. She doesn't know any secret tricks for removal but she does try to hide her laughter from me. She wants to know exactly where the wax is located, "Are we talking cheeks or who-ha?"

She's laughing out loud by now...I can hear her. I give her the rundown and she suggests I call the number on the side of the box. YEAH!!!!! Right!! I should be the joke of someone else's night.

While we go through various solutions. I resort to scraping the wax off with a razor. Nothing feels better then to have your girlie goodies covered in hot wax, glued shut, stuck to the tub in super hot water and then dry-shaving the sticky wax off!!

By now the brain is not working, dignity has taken a major hike and I'm pretty sure I'm going to need Post-Traumatic Stress counseling for this event.

My friend is still talking with me when I finally see my saving grace....the lotion they give you to remove the excess wax. What do I really have to lose at this point? I rub some on and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!

The scream probably woke the kids and scared the dickens out of my friend.

It's sooo painful, I but I really don't care. "IT WORKS!! It works!!" I get a hearty congratulation from my friend and she hangs up.

I successfully remove the remainder of the wax and then notice to my grief and despair....THE HAIR IS STILL THERE.......ALL OF IT!!!!!!!!!!

So I recklessly shave it off. Heck, I'm numb by now. Nothing hurts. I could have amputated my own leg at this point.

Next week I'm going to try hair color......

Oh my Gosh I think that is the funniest thing I have ever read. I have tears running down my face from laughing so hard. I feel better now at least I didnt get the hooha and arse glued shut and stuck to the bathtub. That was hysterical. Thanks for the laugh.
