That Dog Won't Hunt....

The 3 little piggies... well, these are more the 3 little "at home" beauty myths...

MYTH ONE - SOCK CURLS..... 
Do they work? Well I have curly hair, I wanted my hair to look like they "fixed" curls in pictures though, but with no trouble. Found a pic on pinterest about "sock curls"...thought YES! THIS IS IT! 

....NO, NO IT WASN'T! Maybe it works on some. But I have banana curls type hair that WANTS to curl and is usually easy to fix. I even took advice by putting a little product in my hair and the results were just WEIRD! Odd shaped curls, if you could even call it that. it was more "humps" or "wave lumps". and YES  hubby, who does my hair since i have one arm, followed instructions.
BOMB


MYTH TWO - BAKING SODA PEROXODE TOOTHPASTE
The "at home" teeth whitening myth. NOPE! SORRY! While continued use of these could EVENTULLY whiten your teeth a few shades (long eventully), it does not do anything noticeable after a week, esp one 10 min use. BOMB!

(however, colgate optic white is great, loving it)


MYTH THREE - VINAGER PEROXIDE  VODKA OR/AND LEMON JUICE LIGHTEN YOUR HAIR
I think we all  know the answer to this one.... BOMB! No matter what mix I used, the result was more a result of them removing residue (vinager) than really lightening. Even after hours in sun for a week, It might have been 1/8th lighter than before. Not to mention bad for hair. BOMB!


........ NOW!!!!!!! TONIGHT I'M TRYING ANOTHER MYTH!

"Can tea/coffee really tint/dye your hair darker?"

LETS FIND OUT!
(I'LL GET BACK TOO YOU WITH PICS LATER....)

  2. My mom used to have us brush our teeth with Baking Soda Paste made from water. I don't think it ever whitened our teeth but it did make them feel clean!
