How to Dye Your Eyebrows at Home?
Choose the dye:
Semi-permanent dyes and beard dyes would be a good choice.
Beard dyes are formulated to provide natural-looking results, ensuring that the color blends seamlessly with your existing facial hair and appears authentic.
Avoid using regular hair dye, as it may be too harsh for the delicate skin and hair around the eyebrows.
Do a patch test:
Before applying the dye to your entire eyebrows, conduct a patch test according to the instructions provided with the product. Apply a small amount of dye on a small area of your skin, typically behind the ear or on the inner arm. Wait for the recommended time, and if there is no adverse reaction, proceed with the application.
Prep Your Work Area:
Cover any surfaces near your work area to prevent staining and dye transfer. Have paper towels, cotton swabs, petroleum jelly, eyebrow brush/spoolie, and cleansing wipes ready. Protect your skin with petroleum jelly around the brow area.
Mix the Dye:
Mix your eyebrow dye according to the instructions. Many kits include a developer cream to activate the dye. Apply the dye to the angled brush from the kit, or use a spoolie for application.
Apply the dye:
After mixing the dye, apply the dye on your eyebrows using the angled brush or spoolie. Ensure you coat the brow hairs evenly from the bottom to the top of the brow. Apply a second coat of dye after 5 minutes for more intense color.
Time the Process:
Leave the dye on for 5–10 minutes, depending on the shade you want. Frequently check to avoid leaving it on too long. For a soft natural color, rinse after 5 minutes. Max dye time is 10 minutes for darker tones.
Rinse and Dry:
Once the time is up, use cleansing wipes to gently remove any excess dye. Then rinse with water and pat dry with a paper towel. Apply a nourishing eyebrow gel or serum.
What Color Should I Dye My Eyebrows?
Choose an eyebrow dye that complements the tone and color of your hair.
For example, if you have warm brunette hair, opt for a warm chocolate or taupe shade.
Go for an ash blonde or taupe eyebrow tint if you have platinum or light blonde locks. For darker blondes, try a soft brown or dark blonde dye. Auburn shades work best for redheads, helping brows stand out while still blending with hair. Avoid going too light.
