Have you gotten your eyebrows dyed before?

[Karonica]

If so, did you or a professional do them and how was it done? I'm thinking about getting this one done, or perhaps attempting it at home, but not without help. I don't want to go blind.

Please go to a professional!!!!!!!! We don't want you to blind yourself either. On the women that I've seen this on--it looks very pretty, but I've never had it done myself.

Oh goodness, I just read that it was illegal. Nevermind then.

They sell bleaches for body and facial hair. I'm pretty sure that's not illegal.

I purchased Jolen Cream Bleach just last week. I purchased on the recomendation of a make-up artist stylist in the recent Essence. The reason because my hair gets lighter in the summer. This summer I thought there seemed to be more of color variation between brows and my tresses. Anyways, I did the patch test for the 10 minutes according to the directions. The patch test turned my hair blondish. Not the look I'm looking for. So I figured I would try it on my brows just for 2-3 minutes. I did it in stages. It worked fine for me. I think I need to do one more application but I'm kind of scared.

I bleach my eyebrows, although I haven't done it in a while.
I use the CVS brand cream bleach. I leave it on for about 5 mins. If the colour is still dark I do a second application for another 3 mins.
I end up getting brows that match my hair colour.

Not dyed but bleached. I did it myself, I had put brown highlights in my hair and then bleached the brows brown and it looked so tight!!! I must say

 

[Karonica]

Oooh, they sell this stuff at CVS you say? Thanks guys!

Hmmm...

I'm tempted to try this; Karonica, let me know how yours come out, please!!

I had mine dyed once. My then stylist put the color on for about a minute and then wiped it off. Just long enough to lighten the natural color.

Okie dokie. I plan on doing it after I get my roots dyed, so I don't look like a complete weirdo. I'm also thinking about trying the T&T Bronze as well.

If it comes out bad, I'll shave my brows off and sport bangs for two months.
