Egg mask and zebromelination: our beauty mistakes of youth

– I rejoice as a child to hear a cool new story about how someone badly screwed up with makeup in their early youth. My failures did not happen so often – yes, I dyed it blonde (in vain), yes, I plucked my eyebrows in a thread (I am still glad that I have grown). I’ll tell you about the most epic below.

A couple of years ago I took part in a whole series of races – I ran “tens” for two months about once a week and trained the same amount. I came to the next competition “a little out of shape” – I slept after a house party, and to be honest, my head ached from yesterday’s fun. Five minutes before the start, and the muscles are stone, and there is no way to warm up. At the locker room neighbors, I discovered capsicam – a warming ointment based on pepper. The girls applied it with a spatula (I realized this later), well, and I generously smeared it with my hand. And I forgot, but in vain!

The ointment began to work already at the start, when I rubbed my eye with my hand – it literally blazed with hellish fire. As well as the hand and the cheek on which the tears flowed. It was absolutely impossible to wash it out – the water from the fans only provoked the hellish mixture.

And the toughness began when I tried to wash off the ointment from my feet – it did not give in at all, and the cool water seemed like boiling water. The legs were very red and sore.

Of course, then I read how to properly use sports ointments – they need not be larger than a pea, spread in parkets and in no case be washed off with water, but dissolved with a swab dipped in oil.

– I am a real conservative and rarely decide to experiment with appearance. Even at the age of 20 I decided to dye my hair for the first time. But I also have a “terrible” story in store!

In the third year of the institute, I decided to transform a little: a new love was just brewing, and, as a result, there was a desire to look like a real woman. Of course, I didn’t have money for a salon, but I had 100 rubles for a special set for highlighting.

I don’t remember the brand – either Wella, or something else. Naturally, I could not independently distribute the composition to the strands, and therefore my sister acted as my personal stylist. She generously applied paint with a special brush to the strands every 3-4 centimeters. I anticipated the furor I made among fellow students!

But it turned out, frankly, not very well. The bright yellow strands were almost symmetrical, and through the crown there was the thickest and most noticeable strip – from a distance it looked like a sparkling bald patch. Unfortunately, I had to walk in this form for a very long time: I did not dye my hair yet.

After about a year, I nevertheless cut my hair and decided to dye it – it became much better. True, my friends and sister still remember this beauty experiment of mine and laugh very loudly.

– I’ve always dreamed of curly hair. And a friend, the owner of small curls, on the contrary, is about straight lines. I remember we always talked about how it would be great to change places. So they lived in front of the school disco: I slept on curlers, pieces of paper, and she licked her curls with hair gels or tied them in a tight ponytail.

Later, at the university, I decided to fulfill my dream of curls and did … chemistry! No, not the same as they do now – fluffy and practically does not spoil the hair. And the real one is small, which will not pass until the hair grows back. And, as you know, it will not work for you for nothing – it dries your hair and makes it lifeless. But you really like her for a while.

So, I decided to experiment, and after a few days my joy came to an end! New hair began to grow along the parting with a hedgehog. Grow back those that were burned by the chemistry. And then the whole head became a light downy cloud. I have naturally soft thin hair, and you can say that for some time I had two hairstyles – small curls disassembled into parting and new hair sticking out with a brush.

– I have already talked about my unsuccessful experience with hair dyeing more than once. In my student years, a friend overdid it and turned me from a brunette to a zebra. Since then, I have decided not to experiment with my hair at home anymore. But nobody canceled other experiments!

Epilation is delicate but natural. To keep the legs always smooth, you have to visit the salon periodically. It is quite inexpensive, but you have to get there, spend time …

At the time, I was actively looking for the perfect home remedy for removing unwanted hair. I started with strips – I was not satisfied, I bought a professional wax. I must say that at the price of a jar with stripes turned out to be much more expensive than a one-time visit to the master, but I thought to save time!

Difficulties began at the stage of preparation. It was necessary to warm up the composition in the microwave to the desired temperature. Unfortunately, my unit does not show the temperature. I set the product for 2 minutes and after that I found that the wax did not change its consistency. Try again – 5 minutes. The composition has almost boiled. I had to wait for it to cool down at least a little, and only then apply it to the skin.

I applied, stuck the strip and pulled it with force. The strip came off easily, but the wax remained on my leg! .. I pasted the strip again, and then again and again – the wax began to freeze. I put another layer of wax on top – to no avail.

As a result, I suffered with this unfortunate procedure for an hour, got angry in earnest, even tired! And then for another hour she removed (picked off!) The dried wax from the skin.
