What do we have to take into account before dyeing our eyebrows?
You won’t need to go to a beauty salon every day to have fantastic eyebrows. From home you can give them that touch that you like so much. However, before doing so, you should know the following points to achieve a style that matches your appearance:
Color may vary
The result may vary from one person to another. A color may be a little different between two individuals due to the tone of the foundation. This will help you understand that you should look for an appropriate tone for your image and not just copy exactly the coloring that an artist uses.
Using permanent dyes to cover gray hair
If you already have gray hair, you should use permanent dyes. Those that are temporary will not help you cover discolorations for long.
Look at your hair color
The tone of your hair contributes a lot to choosing the color you want in your eyebrows. If you are a redhead, a brunette tone will be great for you. If your hair is dark, you can opt for a black variant. Blondes do very well with a darker color. By knowing this, you will avoid choosing the wrong pigment.
Some dyes may be darker than they appear to be in catalogs and even than what appears on their own packaging.
Be careful with voluminous eyebrows
Eyebrows that have dyes applied are more voluminous. If you have very thin ones, the dye will be great for you. On the other hand, if they are very thick, you will have to be more careful in the color you use so as not to ruin them.
Great variety of shades
Don’t get obsessed with just one color. There can even be different shades and finishes in each dye, so before listening to your friends’ recommendations, you will do well to choose on your own the eyebrow color that best suits your face. Don’t worry, there is a great variety for this.
Combine it with hair removal
The dye does not replace hair removal nor will it fulfill its functions. If you want to shape them, you must first shave them and then apply the dyes. The objective is to create the contours of the eyebrow, the paint will only highlight its silhouette with greater impact.
Prevent the dye from staining other areas
You should have Vaseline and cotton swabs on hand . You have to apply this substance around the eyebrow to prevent the dye from staining other areas and absorbing into your skin.
Wash them before dyeing them
You have to wash your face before doing the process. By keeping your eyebrows free of dust, sweat and other impurities, you will contribute to the success of the dye application.
Helps give volume
If you don’t have thick eyebrows, it doesn’t mean they will never be attractive. The dye will help a lot to give the image and the luminosity that you want to provide. They can even be seen with a little more volume.
Use original products
If you want incredible and long-lasting results, you have to use original products with carefully prepared formulas.
Do not use the same hair dye
We want to give you an additional suggestion that, due to its importance, deserves special mention: you should never use hair dye on your eyebrows.
These dyes are made to be absorbed into the scalp. If you apply them to your eyebrow, you will have severe skin irritation. Also, if you are not careful in application, you may feel burning in your eyes. What could be an option for you will become a disappointment.
How to dye your eyebrows at home step by step?
The products to give color to this part of your face are diverse, so the procedures may vary. To understand more precisely how to use them, we offer you the following step-by-step guide. With it you will learn how to dye your eyebrows at home.
We have highlighted the importance of having Vaseline, Q-tips and the right dyes. Now we will see how we can use them.
Pluck your eyebrows
Pluck your eyebrows and give them the contour you want to have. Remember that if these are thick, you must be more careful so that they do not lose their shape and harmony.
Clean your face
Now is the time to clean your face perfectly. You can use warm water to remove impurities and dust that may be present on your eyebrows.
Apply Vaseline
With the help of the cotton swab you must apply the Vaseline around the eyebrow. This will help ensure that, if the dye falls on your skin, it is not absorbed and you can clean it later.
Prepare the dye
Carefully follow the instructions on the container to prepare the ink mixture. You must be very precise so that you can get the tone you want.
Use a suitable brush
Check that the applicator brush is in good condition and does not have twisted bristles. Otherwise, it will be very difficult for you to give the contour you want to your eyebrows.
Apply the dye
Apply the dye with the brush. Use a very fine brush to color the silhouette of the eyebrow. In case the dye falls on your skin, you don’t have to worry, since the Vaseline that you previously applied takes care of that.
Once you’re done putting the paint on, wait ten minutes for it to dry.
Remove excess dye
Now it’s time to remove the excess ink left on your eyebrows. You can remove it with the help of a cotton swab. You must remove it to avoid dripping or forming small paint balls stuck to the hairs.
And the gray eyebrows?
If you have gray hair in your eyebrows, you should first brush the hairs in the direction they grow. In this way it will be possible to locate the spaces that remain unpainted.
Now you must apply the dye in the direction of hair growth and a second application in the opposite direction. This will guarantee that each of the hairs is covered in the dye.
Many people use semi-permanent dye for its durability on gray hair.
One suggestion is that you have a lot of patience, since you must find the tone that best suits your eyebrows. On the other hand, remember not to make the mistake of using the same hair dye, even on gray hair its application is not acceptable.
How wonderful it will be to see you show off the perfect eyebrows you’ve always dreamed of! Even if they already have gray hair.
