Funniest Beauty Story-see msg
Posted: Feb 9, 2015
What is your funniest, most embarrassing, disastrous beauty story? I'll share mine. I had long, naturally wavy hair in high school (early 1970's), and back then curls and waves were not good. Straight hair was in. So, I used to iron my hair right smack dab on the ironing board. One time, I left it on too long in a particular spot, and I looked like I had a giant POOF right at my right ear. So, I was left with straight at the part, POOF by the ear, then straight below that. I also stunk like burnt hair for about a week. Took a few weeks for the poof to settle down.;
I graduated in 1972 - with curly, wavy hair
[ In Reply To ..]I know exactly what you mean. I wanted straight hair so bad!! I used to use Dippity-Doo to try to tame my curls. Now, I love them.
From OP - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]I remember Dippity-Doo! I even remember the smell. I wonder if they still make that?!
I distinctly remember my mother not allowing me to use serious chemical straightening agents because they're bad for your hair. I thought she was the worst mother in the world for that! So, I had to sneak ironing it when she wasn't around.
My waves and curls are my friends now. I got a short-ish haircut to complement my waves, and I've stopped fighting them.
I've always had long hair. One time I wanted - (sm)
[ In Reply To ..]to trim the ends, but had trouble reaching them by myself. I asked my little sister if she could just trim off the very bottom in a straight line for me. Instead of snipping just the ragged ends of my waist-length hair, she cut off an entire foot of it, so that it was only at my shoulder blades. I was so freaked-out I could hardly speak, and also had to go to work. I don't know how I did it, but I somehow sucked it up, didn't punch my sister in the face, and managed to go to work and do my job.
Now I never let ANYONE cut my hair. I just wait for it to get long enough that I can reach behind my waist and trim it myself.
You Also Can - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]Don't quote me on this, but I have heard that you can also just part the back of your hair equally down the center, then cut the ends in front of you--that way you don't have to wait for it to be waist oength.
I also heard you can put a scrunchie in your hair, as in a pontyail, and move it all the way to the end and cut that way, but that it's hard to center.
Anyway, you sure are saving a lot of money not going to a salon. If your hair ends look healthy, there's no harm in that.
Reminds me - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]Your story reminds me of something. When I was about 10 years old, my aunt asked me to cut her hair. Mind you, this is a woman about 40 years old. I said I would, and did the best a 10-year-old could. I didn't do a good job, and she got all bent out of shape.
My daughter has long hair, cuts it herself - nymt2
[ In Reply To ..]My 23 year old daughter has shoulder blade long hair, and after time after time of paying money to be disappointed with haircuts, she went on line and found a tutorial about cutting it herself. It told her to lean over forward and cut it upside down in front of you. It comes out slightly layered and perfect every time! No more spending money and (for her, best of all) no more listening to a chatty hairdresser make small talk!
Red faced and laughing - Christine
[ In Reply To ..]Many years ago I used to sing quite a bit; did solo work at my church, sang in a trio with my cousin and my friend, etc. One year my friend and organist told me she would like me to enter a talent contest. It was hosted by several professional gospel groups. I was reluctant at first, but began practicing with her for the big event. Sure enough, we had the nerve to show up. They called our names just as we were about to chicken out. We went out on stage, and the announcer stated there were 7,000 people in the audience. I nearly fainted when I saw the crowd! It was held in a huge building that hosts many very large events. I did my best, and actually I was not feeling too shabby about the performance. At the end I got a bit too dramatic and threw my one arm out to my side at the end of my song. Out of the corner of my eye I saw something swinging. After I got back stage my friend and I just roared. I bought a new two-piece skirt and jacket for the occasion, and I forgot to remove the price tag from the sleeve. My friend died 6 years ago, but we had plenty of laughs about that night. By the way, one of the judges voted for me!!
Oh, funny!-nm - nm

Is Anyone Following The Story Of The Father WhoJun 29, 2014

He took the child to breakfast not very far from his work so it is hard to think he could forget him once he arrived at work. Dad has to be a psycho who is dumb as a rock to do searches on a computer for children dying in hot cars knowing he would be investigated. There is also evidence (surveillance vide ...
