Health, Awkward and Skincare: Great job!

Great job!

Today, I decided to bleach my belly hair. I bought some body hair bleach at the drug store, and I used it exactly as instructed. When I removed it, I was horrified to see my belly was about three shades lighter than the rest of my body. The hair was still exactly the same darkness. FML

Today, I attempted to bleach my body hair so I wouldn't have to shave. A little while later, I realized that I'd also succeeded in bleaching my skin, which was incredibly noticeable. I'm hosting a pool party this weekend. FML

Today, I decided I wanted to bleach my hair, so I asked my mother for help. Apparently, something went wrong, because clumps of my hair started falling out. Now I'm half blonde and half bald, and my mom is just laughing at me. FML

Red alert

Today, I was going to bleach my bikini line, as I have not been able to shave there due to some ingrown hairs, and I also have to lifeguard every day. As it turns out, I'm allergic to the bleach. There is now an angry red, burning rash on my crotch that you can see around my swimsuit. FML

Can't face it

Today, thanks to all my medications, I've been growing thick, dark hair on my face. I decided to use hair removal cream instead of shaving. The cream removed every trace of hair, but also made my skin about 4 times lighter than the rest of my face. It's even more noticeable than the beard. FML

Today, I decided to change my hair color. After waiting in anticipation, I took a shower to rinse out the dye and reveal my new, blue hair. Rinsing revealed not only blue hair, but blue skin caused by the watered dye running over my body. I now look like a smurf, and it's not coming out. FML

Today, I bleached my hair for the new school year. Instead of blonde, it came out orange, making my hair look like a bloated pumpkin. FML

Today, like every month, the beautician spent 10 minutes removing the hairs from my stomach. I'm a girl. FML

Today, I decided to dye my hair blue. The result is slightly different than I expected: my white bathroom is now blue, and so are my skin and nails. The only thing that isn't blue is my hair, which is now green. FML

Today, I tried dyeing my hair at home to save some money. I carefully followed the instructions but when I rinsed it off, my hair turned a shocking shade of shiity neon green. Not wanting to leave the house looking like a radioactive toad, I wore a hat and hoped nobody would notice. FML

If you shave, the new growing hair will be cut-off straight at the top in stead of being very thin, thus APPEARING to be thicker and darker. But when it grows back and wears down, it will look like it did before. And don't go saying 'hey when I was twelve my facial hair was thin and blonde and then I started shaving and now I'm twenty and my facial hair is thick and dark!'. Because that's the effect of puberty, not of shaving.

Why is everyone harping on this woman? she's obviously trying to change something about herself that she is sure is unnatractive. Its not her fault she was born with belly hair!

idk if anyone has posted this yet but that is actually pretty normal and your skin color should go back to normal within 72 hours

don't worry, if it's like with bleaching hair on head then i can tell you- it will seem lighter and will get back to normal tone in couple hours. so yeah, it scared you, but it's totally not a fml. while you got a fluffy belly XD that's is fml!

A woman went to great lengths and spent a bunch of money to preform some personal grooming (that no one is ever going to notice anyway) and it blew up in her face? No WAY! Stop the presses! This totally doesn't happen 6 times a day! You're so vain, I'll bet you think this post is about you, don't you, don't you...

Perhaps stupid to spend a lot of money on it, but its definitely not something that goes unnoticed. I've had my belly hair pointed out many times, and told everything from "that's weird" to "that's disgusting. You should take better care of yourself" Mostly, I just don't wear anything that shows my stomach unless I'm going to be somewhere that no one is going to see me. I don't swim in well-known ponds, or in pools unless I'm the only one there. When I do, I wear a one piece swimsuit, but i hate the necklines on them. They touch my chest in an uncomfortable place.

She could've used a simple razor instead of chemicals to remove it.

Hair bleach is supposed to bleach your body hair, not your skin color. I'd call up the company and complain.

Put some fake tan on to even out your skin tone. I also highly doubt that your hair is THAT bad OP, and even if it is, bleaching it probably won't help. Neither will shaving because I know someone who did and it was very prickly for a week. There are a bunch of natural ways to lighten hair if you just look on the internet :)
