I’ve heard a few, one I heard from an Aunty a couple of days back for long and strong hair was:
Wait untill 3 days after a full-moon, trim your hair on your rooftop and watch your hair grow!
:rotato:
What are some absolutely ridiculous beauty myths that you’ve heard!?
Re: Ridiculous myths?
My favorite growing up was when aunties would tell you to hang upside down from a jungle gym to promote height! 
Once an aunty told me that if one ate more berries, this will give your cheeks and lips a natural “stain” from within so one doesn’t ever have to wear blush and lipstick. 
^ I’d still do the berry one 
they’re yummy!
Re: Ridiculous myths?
1.it's kinda related to beauty myth. when i was pregnant i was literally forced by my inlaws to have coconut water they say that the baby born will be fair skinned. I believe it's not coconut water that make one fair but it's the GENE which determines baby's skin colour.
I have read somewhere if you soak zafran(saffron) in water for some hours and then apply that water to your lips for some days your lips will become red.
applying glycerine to eye lashes before going to sleep every night will make them longer.
i have heard the same but i think its on th next day after the full moon.and you know what i tried it.my hair is pretty,many ppl say that but i dont know whether its is bcoz of the trimming or..
Dunno about the rooftop bit,but there was a website, which you had to join,and it would give you specific dates when to cut your hair/nails,when to wax your skin.It was all to do with the waning/waxing (no pun intended :)) of the moon.I came across this a few years back,and it was amazing how many people actually believed in it.Plus,they reported back that it was working,ie.improvement in hair and skin.So maybe Aunty wasn’t totally way out:rotato:
Re: the berry one…have crushed them on my lips for colour..that’s all.
OK,not entirely beauty butI heard one Aunty say if you have dark nipples and breastfeed,your child will have dark lips…Gawd
Re: Ridiculous myths?
Applying mayonaise to hair....I think it's a myth coz mayo just makes hair greasy plus it's hard to wash out/smells too!!
I’ve heard of putting mayonnaise in the hair as well, something to do with the egg proteins nourishing the hair. I’ve never tried it though…the smell would be horrible!
I once heard an aunty swear that the only reason her daughter had blue eyes was because she ate strawberries throughout the whole of her pregnancy! 
Another one I heard from an Arab lady was, if you have lots of moles.. sleep with horse-hair tied to your wrist for 3 nights. They’re supposed to vanish!
^ omg that reminds me of a time when someone told me that applying raw chicken to moles causes them to drop off! I was like wth?! Who on earth looked at a piece of raw chicken and thought "Hmmm I wonder if..."
Haha I'd rather sleep with the horse hair! :D
Re: Ridiculous myths?
some people in my family say eating chocolate while pregnant ensures you'll have a happy baby....i'd say go for it hehe :)
^ That's one i'd gladly try!
Re: Ridiculous myths?
eating too much chocolate/peanut butter during puberty will result in big boobs in the future. my mom always tried stopping me from eating those two things.
Re: Ridiculous myths?
ha ha. i was told that eating raisins will give you a large chest.
massaging your baby with butter/ghee will make the baby less hairy.

100 brush strokes a day
stroking each nail upwards makes them grow faster..
once this aunty told me and my cousins that if you wear too much mascara you would grow another pair of eyelashed on your eyelids. like where you would wear eyeliner.
ofcourse its total rubbish , but she was totally convinced..
