My hair has been burgundy (magenta if we're being brand specific) for approximately nine years now and I've colored my brows doing the same process for six years.
I always receive compliments about my hair but my brows always gets the "wow factor”—oftentimes, this is awkward because people stare to see if they're drawn! I fill my brows in vverrryyyy little, & that's only if they need to be touched up. @MyEyebrowLady is bomb af, so it's rarely needed!
What You’ll Need:
Loreal's Hicolor Highlight in Magenta
Clairol 20/30 Developer (the volume depends on the thickness of your brows, how much they've grown in & the tone you want. I use 20 for my weekly/bi-weekly touch-ups. 30 after three or more weeks)
Coconut Oil
Mixing bowl
Toothbrush
Brush to apply dye
Shampoo/Facial Cleanser
Conditioner
Towel/Cotton Pad- dampen with cold water
Please note: Apparently this isn't recommended by estheticians but I've informed you all countless times that I'm not one, saaoooo do as you please!!
What to Do:
Wash, dry & brush your eyebrows
Outline brows with coconut oil
Combine half a cap of developer & a dollop of hair dye then mix
Apply to brows
Wait. The time depends on the thickness of your brow. I wait at least 6 minutes & never over 15 minutes.
Wipe with towel/cotton pad
Apply shampoo/facial cleanser to toothbrush & wash brows
Wipe with towel
Observe the greatness then apply conditioner (match the processing time)
If you want a lighter color, repeat steps 1-9 but brush brows in a different direction before applying color & be mindful to not allow the color to process as long—half of your initial processing time should suffice. If the color goal was reached, go be great & love up all of the compliments!
If you somehow screwed up…:
To revert, repeat steps 1-9, using a rinse (semi-permanent) that's your natural color.
To change your new color to a different color or tone... see where a little trial & error gets ya then let me know!
