This Woman Permed Her Eyelashes. Because: Beauty
YouTube has allowed any and everyone to establish themselves as authorities in the beauty space. Get a webcam, get some paints and upload a video showing someone how to look better. TADA!
There’s a lady (Lily Seymour) on YouTube who posted a video of her perming her eyelashes to get them to be straight because they’re too curly. She put actual relaxer from a box. Don’t believe me? See below.
I watched this entire video while taking short spurts of breath because I felt like if I took a deep breath, her hand would slip, the toothpick would end up in her eye and relaxer would be all over everything and her pupils will fall out and I’d be traumatized for life. I don’t know why. Don’t ask me.
Ma’am, are you seriously going as far to put relaxer on your eyelatch (yes, eyelatch) because they’re too curly? Were fake lashes busy? But everyone! She makes sure she puts 1 layer of vaseline for protection. All that is standing in the way of her being unable to see is a swipe of petroleum jelly. Jeebs be a fence because I CAN’T.
My eyes watered just watching it as I imagined the smell of relaxer so close to my eyeballs. Memories of 2 decades of permed hair came flooding back and I wanted to fight the air. I might have post-traumatic relaxer disorder.
Because why not put something that can melt your scalp in 2 minutes within millimeters of your pupils? WHY NOT? The worst that could happen includes going blind if the lye gets on your cornea and melts through your eyeballs. BUT YOLO!!!
LADY CUT IT OUT!!! I know we have free will but must you use yours to perm your #eyelatch? WHY IT HAPPEN?? Lawd. This video got my nerves all bad. Somebody tell Lily that it ain’t even this serious.
#LatchItLambOfGod. #OverHaulItOrisha. #MakeItRightMessiah.
Honestly, the things people do for beauty can be a bit too much sometimes.
So ummm… which one of you is down for permed eyelashes?

#neutralizeitnebuchadnezzar
No you didn’t go all neutralizeitnebuchadnezzar. I can’t. I jus can’t.
That is one of the funniest lines I’ve ever read! Blessit!
I almost spit out my coffee laughing at this 🙂
Who needs to see when you have beautiful lashes, amirite?
In a few months, she’ll be like “Y’all can’t see me! Hell, I can’t see me!”
I quit you for this!! LOL
I died at “amirite”!
Me too!!!! Hahahahaha
I’m done for the day ma’am! Just done! *lies on the floor*
Someone needs to tell her that one eye look is only cute on mike wazowski.
I’ve officially checked out of YouTube life.. I’m ghost, I’m vaporized, I’m DONE! Like the woman sat her happy ass on the thing called YT and PERMED HER EYELASHES?!?!?! I’m waiting for Dave Chappelle or Chris Rock to pop out and say, “Gotcha bitches!” What person that has the sense to turn on the box called “computer” and operate that eye glass thingy-mahgig called a “camera” do this? Like WHO!? I need receipts for her sense.
DEAD @ “I need receipts for her sense” LMAO
@Jillian: “Receipts for her sense.” I am howling like a wolf.
Lord!I was more than scared, my heart was in my mouth. The foolishness of men. Now I would have nightmares of someone chasing me with a ‘toothpicked relaxer’. She prolly relaxed her eyebrows too and had it all fall off.
I had the same thought about the brows! The fact that when it started you could see she has three brow hairs hiding all clandestine beneath what.. powder? Pencil? Tattoo? That’s when I #knowed it was going to be some mess. #OrganizeitOmnipotentOne
You know what, I really wasn’t going to watch this dang video until I read “three brow hairs hiding all clandestine…”
I. Freaking. Howled. *unplugs computer*
The stupidity is rampant! There are also several videos from different salons of women “perming” their eyelashes to make them curly! Seriously! Mini foam perm rods and everything! If I can’t fix it with a trip to Walgreens, Taget, MAC, or Bare Minerals, I’m taping out! I mean, come on! Is it EVER that serious? #TeamTooMuch!
#PrayforhaPrinceofPeace, for she OBVIOUSLY has been smoking crack, and has no idea what she’s doing!
She has her contacts on to cover her eyeballs. O_O o.O
To. Cover. Her. Eyeballs. WTF?!? Doesn’t she think that if the lye falls on the contacts then she would cause even MORE damage to her eyes as the contacts are now fused to her eyeballs.
Lawd, send help!
Exactly! She clearly doesn’t know how relaxers, eyes, or contacts work.
That’s not how ANY of this works!
Why you got me picturing the old women from the Esurance commercial? I done died laughing at this!
I unfriend you!
Please imagine the lady’s hand gesture when she say it too!
She wears colored contacts…..#shecantbetrusted.
Remember that scene in Chris Rock’s ‘Good Hair’ when the scientist dude dipped a soda can in a big batch of unfiltered relaxer and it melted? THATS WHAT YOU’RE PUTTING ON YOUR EYE LASHES LADY! Why on earth would you want to risk your eye sight over something that NO ONE will probably notice. I doubt people be saying “Wooow. Check out those snatched to death straight eyelashes.” NOPE. Jesus be mascara wand, cause your children are running rampant with the creamy crack.
And yes Luvvie, post-traumatic relaxer disorder is a real thing. 3 years natural and staying there!
LOL @ ‘snatched to death’
UGH! I wanna punch her in her neck! Speaking for all the folks with vision problems, as a person who had eye surgery as a child, and had to wear that nerd patch that got you teased as a child in the name of good vision, I rebuke this. No ma’am. that vaseline ain’t protecting your eyeballs & hat contact will melt onto your cornea if that nasty perm hits it. Bad enough you committing acts of foolery, but you put it on youtube to encourage others to follow.
iCannot!
you had to wear a patch too?! One of my eyes was, and still is, much weaker than the other one, and the doctors thought the patch would strengthen it up. Still slightly crossed eyed to this day. :-/
No one teased me because (I found out later) my mother went to class when I wasn’t there and basically told the other kids she would come for them if they did –this was a mostly White school, too.
I HEART your Mom
Your mama is the bomb, for real. I love her from afar.
Love your mom. Yes I had to patch and then later as I got older I was given exercises to do in front of the mirror. I also has surgery when I was 6 so I my eyes don’t cross unless I am deliriously tired.
Lawd, wore a patch too!!!! Hated that thing!
I just want to know what would posses a person to do this foolishment? Really?
she is forgetting that you need to NEUTRALIZE the relaxer to stop the process. simply wiping it off and washing your face…. lord. iCan’t. i am officially unable. i half expected her lashes to fall right off and quit in revolt. hell if i were her lashes i’d been quit her. like, naw trick, i did not sign up for dis boolsheet rightchea when i grew out of your lids.
and if i were her eyes i woulda rolled on out as well. because this is abuse.
Ha! I absolutely can’t with you! Got me over here choking I’m laughing so hard. I almost stopped reading at “naw trick” but had to continue! The video was bad and your commentary made me fall out. Still in a fit of giggles as I type this!!!!!
LMBO
My biggest fear in life is being a fierce, Fabulous FOOOOOOOL over 50. She too DAMN OLD for such foolishness. She said she did because it makes it easier to put on her false eyelashes…How hard was it before really?
Beauty hurts….
Stupidity hurts more.
^ And there you have it folks! #droptheladderJacob
#iRefuse #iWont #uCantmakeme Ya’ll are the reason I have to binge read alone. Got me Hollerin and chokin on my liquids
what GG said
I was about to add that, but you beat me to it! LOL Beauty may be fleeting, but stupid lasts FO-EV-UH. O_O LOL
I can’t take beauty advice from anyone who doesn’t have eyebrows made of hair. I just cannot.
OMG I want this on a shirt.
This does belong on a T-shirt. And a hat.
this.
I saw this bullshittery as someone with vision problems and severe eye allergies and sensitivity I was dumbfounded. So relieved I’m no alone!
I suppose her next video will be entitled “How To Flatiron Your Eye Lashes”?
She’s going to have her fake lashes sewn in. It’ll be the rage in a few months.
It it bad that I found this comment extremely funny?? #FlatIronedLatches
Wait. . . What? I am all confused like mIss Sophia at the Christmas dinner table. How curly could those lashes have been? I mean, they’re EYEFREAKINGLASHES!! Is it okay that I am angry at her tomfoolery? I’m just befuddled. . . And I can’t really tell a difference in the before and after lashes. Besides, if she goes blind from this, will her beauty really matter to her? I has questions. I pray she isn’t watching over small, impressionable children and letting them see this crap. Have half the neighborhood girls go blind before they’re eligible to drive because they were listening to Miss Lily’s beauty tips. . . smh
Im actually angry at her insane stupidity also – young girls will watch this and think it’s okay!!! It’s not, lawd hammercy it is so very not okay. #CrazyHeffer
For why?!?! This is why we can’t have nice things, smdh. And when you apply mascara, it will curl again. #tapeittutankhamun
tape it tutankhamun.
exits seat, onto the floor. HOWLSSSSSSSS!!
I know this is wrong, but I SWEATER GAWD I hope this b_itch goes blind one day….
Lord forgive me, but I hope one day she POKES HERSELF IN THE DAYUM eye, flails about widely in pain, accidentally pushes the *publish* button on her cam for the world to see, and lose her sight for encouraging others in this foolery! iCant, iwont, I’m unable.
First of all dear Luvvie, you didn’t warn us that the woman refers to herself as GODDESS LILY. Why???
I got 4 seconds into the video and had to stop. This kinda self harm needs to be illegal, or so socially unacceptable that she gets shunned by her neighbors. Lash hatred??? Lawd please deliver us from unnecessary fabricated beauty issues.
Yeah, I got through about 30 seconds before I could stand no more!
And she claims she is over 50 with this ratchetness? She is chocolate Jello, Bill Cosby, puddin’ pop proof that with age does NOT ALWAYS COME WITH MATURITY!
OHhhhhhhhhhh…before I read the write up I thought it was the white version of perm, which is still incredibly stupid.
But wait! Did you see her disclaimer?! Did she even read that?! I can’t! #mitigateitmary #grabitguadalupe
*cremated* @ “mitigateitmary
this right here! mitigateitmary
i will be STEALING!
I bet she thinks those contact lenses are protecting her corneas. I can’t!
Next, white girls will be perming their eyelashes to make them curl – and there will be a generation of eyelash-less fools running around, opening up the market for eyelash plugs and transplants. O_________O
Stupidity knows no bounds.
They shoulda never gave this heffa the innanets!
#icannoteven there is NOTHING “Common” about sense! The stupidity of some people amazes me, #eyelatches are too curly?? #icantevenknowwhattosay
What mess?!!!?!! I can’t take this woman seriously. The devil put this idea in her head. The lengths women will go to attain beauty has reached an all time high. Somebody call Guinness.
I’m quite sure that Just For Me, conditioning, no-lye relaxer is therapeutic for eyelashes and ol girl will be just fine.
Also, why did I imagine Madame CJ Walker talkin bout I have a dream of little black girls being judged on the straightness of their lashes and not the content of their character.
I have over 5 years under my belt as a chemist. Lye, aka sodium hydroxide, is a strong base. The FIRST target organ listed on the MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet for those scoring at home) is the eyes. The FIRST concern on the same sheet is eye burns and blindness. The VAPORS from this can burn the eyes. Who in all of the hells thought this was a good idea?!
Jesus PLEASE give my people a book to read while they still can.
Self hate is a btch. Meanwhile no one even likes straight eyelashes. I know because mine are straight and i was told I could get an eyelash perm to curl them and I was like funk that imma sit down with these wack eyelashes and thank God for my common sense and vision.
Not even going to click on her video…why cause it’s going to feel the crazy attention monster. I am sure it’s going to go viral which will validate her to do more of this crazy kind of behavior.
People go through so much to buy a eyelash curler and she wants them straight. Even though it it has the potential to blind her she’s going to do it.
No mama not feeding the craziness!
Can I be dumb? I mean, can I REALLY be dumb and ask dumb questions to match the level of her stupidity?
1. What happens when she has new growth?
2. What happens when she decides to change her lash color AND needs to relax? Will she wait two weeks?
3. If she relaxes her eye lashes because they are too curly does she also relax her kitty kat curlies? In other words, is she relaxed or natural “down there”?
4. Does she have a gas stove? How close does she allow herself to stand to the lit burners?
5. Is she a smoker? Has her lashes ever caught on fire ala MJ circa 1984 Pepsi?
6. The very first time she decided to do this what made her go, “hmmm…this might work?” And, who co-signed this? Was it a friend or a frenemy?
Thanks Londa. I wanted to ask questions 1, 3 and 6 also.
LOSDL @ number 3. In fact I’m LOL at this whole post.
I am betting she is waxed downtown. And yes I cannot believe I speculated on question #3.
Now I’m mad….all that to apply fake eyelashes?…*done*
I know exactly why the comments section on this video are disabled.
I can see the headlines of major newspapers writing articles about how hospital emergency rooms are now filled with idiots doing this.
This is why we need Jesus to take the wheel.
I want Jesus to roll over some of these folk.
Yeeeeasssssss!
What a NUT! There are people who would kill for curly lashes. And she disabled the comment section on her post. Gee, I wonder why? Lol.
WAIT!!! but what about the NEUTRALIZING process that follows perming! LAWD GEEZUSS please tell me she at least NEUTRALIZED! @o@
Exactly! You know they just kept sizzling and fell out! This is why we can’t have nice things.
Some people take things too far! I mean, REALLY? She is utterly, COMPLETELY STUPID.
“And many of us, by the way we act, we’ve even lost our minds.” – Khalid Abdul Muhammad
Jesus, take the wheel!
Did she try a hot comb first? Did she try a flatiron next? Exactly who the hell is nappy around eye orbits? #straightenitshiva
Did ANYBODY HEAR HER SAY “i’m wearing my contacts so my eye is protected?! Uh no sweety, your contact is going to get burnt up with the rest of your eye, just first. I’m done off of that alone. Someone come get me when YT posts a video of how I can put rubbing gasoline on my scalp to grow longer, thicker hair. Sheesh
Shhhh don’t say it out loud! You know you just planted that gasoline idea in some fool’s head.
Notice there’s no “Before” and “After” pictures??? Cause you caint tell the difference!!!
Believe it or not, perming the lashes is a standard procedure. It is to make the lashes curlier, not remove curl from them. While her at home procedure is not safe IMO, it is not uncommon for someone to perm their lashes.
Ma’am your eyelashes aint even that curly! If the fake lashes don’t stick, just quit. Is it really that serious these days?
She needs to be kicked in the arse promoting these dangerous “kitchen beautician” techniques. And who in hell is checking for lashes that are “too curly”? #FirstWorldProblems
There is so much wrong with this video I don’t even know where to start… anyone with two brain cells rubbing together knows better than to attempt this, but who would take beauty advice from someone with 1) those eyebrows and 2) those God-awful beaver- knawed stumps she calls fingernails? Nope nope nope… when she wiped that stuff off and I saw those chewed mitts, I almost fell over laughing at her giving “beauty advice”-I feel bad for her grandbabies, you know she has just the thing for those curly lashes!
She has to be mentally illl…. This is not ok. She is not ok.
She doesn’t value her sight lol
Many people went blind after watching that video.
No lie a single tear rolled out of my left eye whilst watching this for reasonS
Sooooooooooo let me get this straight….she “permed” her lashes because they were “too curly” and in the end she will apply “fake lashes” over the “newly straightened” lashes. #jabbanthathroatJob
That gif of Louise is so appropriate. My stomach is turning just looking at that picture of her eyes.
The moment she held up the relaxer tub I closed the tab!!! I can’t, I cannot watch it!
That woman ain’t got the sense God gave a billy goat. She risked her health and sight for straight eye lashes? I wasn’t aware that it was that important.
I am crying real tears over here!!! Not just from the write up on this crazy but from the comments lol! I read EVERY SINGLE ONE you all are hilarious!
SMH! Total foolary at its best! who has super straight eye lashes? And seems to me she wanted to length them to make them fan out and appear longer less tight and curly…all she had to do was buy a mascara for this ! She deserves her lashes to be totally gone, all the dust and debris to get caught in her eye and all the chemical burns for this ignorant choice!
She has no eyebrows. Did she perm those, too? Oh, and she said TOOFPICK. And she’s protecting her eyes with her contacts. She’s goes on to say it’s been ALMOSE ten minutes since she’s had the creamy crack on her eyelashes. I can’t believe I just watched all of this, but I was waiting to see if she ended up running to the sink or toilet like Denzel did in Malcolm X. I can’t!
Harpo…who dis woman?
For the love of all that is holy and merciful in the world, she has her eyes open while she’s talking! I just assumed – yeah I made an ass out of me – that she would be like some stupid pirate with that eye closed trying to protect itself from her foolishness! And she’s wearing her contacts!! Yes! Now the lye can melt the contact and fuse it to her eye. OMG.
I need to go lay down!
Can someone tell me why!!!! Why was this a good idea!!!

Iswearfogod! Luvie, you just crack me up! Tears! So glad I got so,e eyelashes to carch’em!
Confucius say ” It is better to be thought stupid than to got on YouTube and remove all doubt!”
That’s it. I’m opening a salon called “Nappylatches” for just such a service; ’cause if there’s one fool like this, then there’s a million of ’em out there willing to pay. I got bills, ya know! #katchherkrishna
This is like a scene from the straight to DVD movie Silence of the Eyeballs.
“It’s puts the vaseline on it’s skin…”
Oh gawd!
