I know this sounds crazy but you can dye your eyebrows and it can make a huge difference! It looks natural, beautiful,
and is low maintenance. I think every
hairdresser should know how to color eyebrows because it is so easy and it can
really pull a beautiful color together. My eyebrows are lighter than the hair on my head
so I used to color them all the time and I didn't have to bother with penciling
them. Now, I have found an eyebrow pencil that I love so I haven't color my brows in a long time. (My next post will be about my new eyebrow pencil, so
stay tuned.) Coloring eyebrows is especially great for those people who are
going to a beautiful burgundy or a flashy red which is not their natural hair
color. It also works for people who want lighter eyebrows (even though I can't imagine why because dark brows are the best!) Just be sure to not use bleach! (Bleach or lightener can be harsh on the skin and it doesn't always
lift evenly on eyebrows) With that being said, this is how to color brows:
All you have to do is take the color you are using on the
head and apply it on the eyebrows with a pick, q-tip, or other small tool. Let
it sit for three to five minutes or until you see it changing colors. I would not
recommend leaving it on for more than five minutes. The longer you leave the
color on the darker and more intense it gets and you want the color on your brows
to look natural and toned down. Also, leaving the color on for a short period
of time allows the color to fade as the eyebrows grow out. (Yes, eyebrows “grow
out”) You don’t have to worry too much about getting dye on the skin it will come right
off. (Just don’t get it in your eyes and don’t try to dye your eyelashes for
heaven’s sake!) Once you have reached the desired shade get a hot wet towel and
wipe it off. Then you are done; Beautiful
low maintenance eyebrows that blend with your hair!
