I bought a home waxing kit and now I look like Whoopie Goldberg

A lopsided Whoopie Goldberg.

How long does it take for eyebrows to grow back in and how do you get stray wax off your eyelashes?

I don't know if I should laugh or cry.

so sorry really I am ...

would love to see a picture. please.

 

[belle_of_the_ball]

i did the same thing...scared for life at 14!!!!

I dont think i still have gotten the wax out of my lashes

but it should have come with something..if not try baby oil....

Oh, I feel your pain. I tried home waxing kits before with results that were not too pretty. And let me just say that it wasn't my eyebrows I was waxing either. Nuff said. And now under my bathroom sink is a graveyard where hair removal products (nearly brand new and used just once) go to die.

I would recommend that you dont try to "fix" your eyebrows yourself. Pay to have an expert correct what they can. They might now be the best, but it will be much better for them to correct them than for you to try on your own.

I had a bout with Alopecia some years back and lost all my eye brows and lashes so I really feel your pain about looking like Whoopi. After you see a professional about correcting what they can, I would invest in a good eye brow pencil. My lashes grew back, but not all of my brows so I still pencil in to fill the bald spots.

Good luck!

I guess the overall consesus is to laugh.

I am going to make an apointment with someone tomorrow to try and salvage what I can.

I wonder if DH will even notice when he gets home.

skin so soft will take the wax residue off..

 

[chyam]

I will never wax anything!!! Tried it once and it was to painful!!

Now that was really funny. Is the Tag Fairy reading this?? I'm not the Tag Fairy but if I was, that would be a tag for sure!!

So sorry for you, but thanks for the chuckle!

I had to google Whoopi. I didn't know she had no eyebrows!

 

[punkin]

Well, DH got home and didn't notice anything wrong. When I pointed it out to him, he said it was not that bad.

I LOVE that man.

 

[tracers]

If you don't have skin so soft .... believe it or not ... olive oil will work too. You may have the urge to have a salad but it works .... sorry to hear about your mishap.

 

[HonestAbe]

Well I doubt anyone will even notice. You should spend a lot of time in well lit public places just to verify my theory.

Nice tag.

Same here, Googled it too.

 

[dbarker]

I would cry. I am so sorry. You need some pixie dust. Good Luck tomorrow.

 

[lucyanna girl]

Love your tag!

 

[punkin]

OK. I go away to get my eyebrows fixed (they don't look that much better IMO) and I get a tag. I can't believe I'm going to be stuck with this for a tag

How embarrassing.

 

[Cass]

Oh my goodness! I didn't notice WG's eyebrows were missing, I had to google it.

I hope they grow back quick
