Question:
+ Dyeing my eyebrows blonde and having to live with the disgusting regrowth
+ Cutting my own fringe. It actually turned out good, but then I fell into that vicious "just a little bit more" cycle
I'm certain I'm guilty of many more faux pas, I just can't remember them off the top of my head!

HAHA! That's hillarious.
When I was about 10 my fringe was getting a bit long and kept annoying me so I decided to cut it.... I ended up with a huge bald spot on the top of my head!

Answer:
Cutting my fringe without realising that it will dry shorter then when being wet.

Answer:
When i was about 12 I was sick of the 'whispy bits' at the front of my head so i grabbed mums razor and shaved them off....
They grew back all gross and spiky so i had to get a 2394723947239m long and thick fringe to cover them while they grew out
and back then i didnt know about bobby pins so when it started growign out a bit and i didnt want a fringe every morning i would spray nearly a whole can of hairspray on my head to make the fringe stick back against my head
it was like a helmet....Dad said he could nearly break a finger on there
And some days i wouldnt wash it out so then the next day would put another whole can of hairspray on to this already solid yucky hair

Answer:
love this thread! its great!
i cant think of one at the moment...but im sure theres heaps!!

Answer:
Just thought of another one!
When I first bought Sally Hansen's Sun Spray, I thought it'd be the same as Airbrush Legs but for the body (I know, how stupid was that). So I generously sprayed my whole body with the stuff, expecting to see the clear liquid to set within a minute or two to develop into a tan and nope, nothing happened!
So I rubbed the rest of it in and went to bed disappointed that nothing turned out. The next day, I woke up with white and orange blotches all over my body and no amount of exfoliation would get it off! It gradually went away within over a week.
It really was just a bad first experience. Now I know how to use it properly, I can't get enough of the stuff.

I still do that

Answer:

This thread is gold!
I have:
-plucked my eyebrows to nonexistence
-silkymitt until my legs had nearly no skin on them
-tried to lighten hair with liquid bleach
-cut my own frizzy, too-short fringe
-thought wearing white stage makeup as foundation looked hot (I was a goth!)

Answer:
* Plucking the arch of my eyebrows too much. I had a big gap in the middle of each eyebrow.
* Didn't do this myself, but someone did it to me. In class, someone cut a bit of my hair off. I was left with a 2cm spiky bit on top of my head. No amount of hairspray would flaten it.
* Bleaching my hair orange / yellow way too many times.
* Cutting my fringe really short and choppy - but not in the good way. (Still living with that one)
* I'm allergic to Benzol Peroxide, but used proactiv and benzac on my skin about 4 times. Woke up with a red itchy rash that lasted for two days. On each occassion, I had to go to work the next morning.
* Wearing foundation two shades darker then my skin colour. For about two years. I don't know why I never noticed how horrible it looked!

Answer:
- horrible 80s fringe that looked like a birds nest (i can't look at any photos in that era without cringing)
- lemon in hair - ruined it ... (yet did not stop me doing it again three months ago .. and again drying it out to oblivion .. had to get a major chop!)
- WAY too much concealor under my eyes - i look older in my photos as a 19 year old than i do now!
- way too much sunbaking and hitting the beach in my early teens - so much pigmentation now!
AND my all-time favourite:
- Ironing my hair with a real iron (hey don't judge me, it was before the days of GHD and chemically straightening!!)
