A clarifying shampoo is designed to strip residue from your hair, so you can use it to strip color from your brows. Be very careful not to get the shampoo in your eyes, though! Use an eyebrow brush or a new toothbrush to brush a clarifying shampoo onto your eyebrows. After 60 seconds, wipe it off, then wash your face as usual to remove any residue. Combine 1 part baking soda and 1 part of your usual shampoo in a small bowl. Stir the mixture until it forms a thick paste. Use a foundation brush to apply this paste to your eyebrows. After a couple of minutes, carefully rinse the paste off, making sure not to get it in your eyes. You can repeat this process, if necessary. In the morning, squeeze a little lemon juice onto a cotton pad and wipe it onto your brows. Be careful not to get the lemon juice into your eyes! Let the lemon juice stay on your eyebrows until you cleanse your face that night. Spend some time outside while the lemon juice is on your brows, as the sun will increase the lightening effect. Pick up a facial toner, like witch hazel, from your supermarket or beauty shop. Squirt a little bit of the toner on a cotton pad, then gently wipe your brows with the cotton pad to lighten the tint. You can repeat this process as many times as is necessary, but keep in mind that if your toner contains alcohol, it may dry out your skin. Choose a colored brow gel at least one shade lighter than the tint. Use an eyebrow brush to lightly sweep the gel over your eyebrows. Make sure you comb through the entire brow so they get an even coloring. Allow the gel to dry, then repeat if you'd like to further lighten the appearance of your brows. It's best to have an expert do this for you, rather than trying it yourself. Go to a beauty or hair salon and ask a stylist to apply facial bleach, which is first-aid-strength hydrogen peroxide, to your brows in order to lighten them. Your stylist will likely put a few drops of the bleach on a cotton pad, then lightly wipe your eyebrows with the pad to remove the tint. Make sure the bleach does not come in contact with your eyes.

Q: Making your own stovetop double boiler is easy. You just need to find a bowl that will sit on top of a pot or saucepan like an inverted lid. The bottom of the bowl shouldn't reach down more than one-third of the way into the pot. Try a metal or heat-resistant glass mixing bowldon't use plastic! When in place, the bowl should create a seal all the way around the rim of the pot or saucepan. This way, the steam won't be able to escape. You don't need much water to create an effective double boiler, since trapped steam will do all the work. Add at least 1in (2.5cm) of water so it doesn't boil away completely, but don't fill the pot more than halfway full. You don't want the bottom of the bowl to touch the water in the pot. Ideally, there should be at least 1in (2.5cm) of space between them. Turn your stove onto medium or high heat, and put a lid on your pot if you want it to boil faster (don't use the bowl yet). When the water is bubbling rapidly, turn the heat down to a very low settingjust enough to maintain a simmer. At a simmer, the water should be just barely bubbling. Use the directions on the bag of hard wax beans to get an idea of how much you need. For example, you'll probably need about 1.25oz (35g) of beans to wax both your upper lip and your eyebrows. Leave enough room in the bowl so that you'll be able to easily stir the wax mixture without causing it to spill over the sides. A double boiler provides more gentle, even heating than what you'd get by melting the beans right in the pot. However, the wax beans will still heat and melt unevenly, so give them a good stir every minute or so. Your best stirring options are a silicone spatula, a wooden spoon, or one of the wax applicator sticks you'll be using (they look like Popsicle sticks). If your bowl starts to shake or rattle, too much steam is building up beneath it. Turn down the heat even more. Don't lift off the bowl, or your hands and face may get blasted by scalding hot steam. Remove the pot from the heat for a few minutes if necessary. Stick a heat-resistant thermometer into the melted wax, making sure not to touch the bottom or sides of the bowl. The wax temperature will continue to rise for a few minutes after you turn off the heat, so don't let it get all the way up to 160F (71C), or it may be too hot when you try to apply it. The ideal temperature range for hard wax used on your body is 125160F (5271C). Wax that's over 165F (74C) can cause burns. Leave the wax in the bowl, and leave the bowl on top of the pot. The residual heat will help keep it above 125F (52C) longer. If the wax starts to get too goopy to apply easily, turn the heat back on to low until the wax reaches 150F (66C) again.
A: Grab a heat-resistant bowl that nestles nicely on top of a pot or saucepan. Add about 23in (5.17.6cm) of water to the saucepan. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce it to a low simmer. Pour the beans into the bowl, then nestle it on the pot. Stir the wax frequently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Turn off the heat when your thermometer reads 150F (66C).

Article: Sometimes a stiff neck is a symptom of a deeper problem, just as a slipped disc in your spine or a pinched nerve. This type of injury may not go away on its own. If you have been experiencing stiffness for more than a few days, call the doctor to find out if you need medical attention. Your doctor might administer an anti-inflammatory injection. Cortisone injections can be given directly at the site of the stiffness and they will reduce inflammation of the neck, which may be contributing to stiffness. A stiff neck can be caused by extreme tension in the body, often as a result of the buildup of anxiety. If you think your anxiety is contributing to a stiff neck, you might want to visit a doctor or counselor to talk about treating anxiety. Having a stiff neck is one of the primary symptoms of meningitis, a serious bacterial illness that causes swelling around the brain. A stiff neck may also indicate that you are having a heart attack. Get immediate medical attention if you experience the following symptoms: A fever. Vomiting and nausea. Difficulty touching your chin to your chest. Chest pain or pain in the left arm. Dizziness. If you have trouble sitting up, standing, or walking, see a doctor immediately.
