How to dye eyebrows at home

You can achieve an expressive look with the help of shaping and bending the eyebrows, while they should ideally match the oval of the face and section of the eyes. Many girls believe that eyebrows do not give in to coloring, however this error is extremely erroneous. Hair in this area can and should be dyed, such a move will save you from constant correction with a pencil or shadows.

Eyebrow Ink Selection

1. First of all, it is worth remembering that in no case eyebrows should be dyed with a hair composition. Even ammonia-free preparations destroy the structure of hairs and lead to peeling of the dermis in this area. Also, similar products must be used close to the mucous membranes of the eyes, and this is unsafe.
2. Eyebrow dye is sold in a specialized cosmetics store. If possible, give preference to a professional series, which includes plant components, esters and vitamin complexes that contribute to accelerated growth.
3. Refuse to purchase funds at pedestrian crossings and markets. Such establishments do not give guarantees for their products, as a result of which the quality is doubtful. There are frequent cases when girls unknowingly acquired a composition, and then complained of severe burns.
4. In each package with paint there is a manufacturer's instruction regarding dilution and the features of using the composition. Do not blindly trust sellers who sell products in tubes without instructions (individually), referring to the fact that recommendations for use can be found on the Internet.
5. Eyebrow colorings are available in bulk form (powders) and in the form of gels. The first option involves preliminary dilution and a rather heterogeneous consistency, professionals usually resort to its use. Beginners are recommended to dye their hair with gel; it is easy to apply.
6. Before buying, be sure to study the column "Composition", it should not contain ammonia and other chemicals of unknown purpose. If in doubt, contact your sales consultant for more information.
7. The most important thing to pay attention to is the shade of eyebrow paint. If you are a brunette, give preference to black color, more such a tone does not suit anyone. In cases where the hair is slightly lighter than black, mix two colors - brown and black. Brown-haired women should get brown-gray shades, blondes - light brown with a golden tint. Red-haired young ladies fit terracotta (red brick color).
