Do You Dye Your Brows?

Sunshine Kate — Sat, 19 Aug 2023 01:35:05 GMT

I need help in finding something that will cover gray in brows. I have about 40% gray 60% black.

I'm using Just For Men 5 minute hair color. I leave it on for about 10 minutes or a tad longer, but the gray is so resistant.

Any ideas to help cover more gray?

TIA

I've switched over to Madison Reed boxed hair color and use a bit on my brows but honstly, I only get at best 2 weeks of gray coverage.

I'm considering a professional tint and brow lamination.

I do and my lashes as well. I use and like this kit i got from Amazon. I haven't used the lifting part though. It's called

ARYANA NEW YORK Color Kit | Black and Brown Instant color | Lamination Kit and Lift Perfect Match Coloring | 2 in 1 Professional Cream Hair Color Up to 10 Applications.

It seems to last longer that other kids were I've tried.

I get mine dyed by my hair dresser every 4 weeks, but like what someone else said, it only lasts 2 weeks at most. So then I use Just for Men Beard dye, and that lasts about 2 weeks, too. I use Mary Kay eyebrow pencils, and they do a good job of covering up the hairs that don't take color easily.

No.. and there is a class action lawsuit for Just for Men. Google it.

I use Estée Lauder brow pencil. Hides gray hairs and it is very effective.

I get my brows died when I get my hair colored. I get my hair colored every 6 weeks, but the color on my brows wears off after 2 weeks. I use my brow powder in between color appts.

I tried dying my brows at home and I accidentally got distracted watching TV while they were developing- I took the dye off and my bushy taupe colored eyebrows were jet black . I had to rock those brows for 3 whole weeks until they faded back to my natural color. I'll leave my eyebrow tinting to the pros next time, or I'll have a kitchen timer handy if I choose to dye them myself!

I inherited my Moms jet black eyebrows! So no I don't dye my brows.

I was getting them tinted at the benefit place but I haven't gotten them done in months. I don't want to attempt any type of color or tint myself. I don't see well enough even with my glasses to do something like this. If you can, I would suggest going to a salon to get them done. It's not perfect but better than messing around with different dyes, tints, etc. yourself. They will also wax or tweeze them into shape for you if necessary.

@Sunshine Kate I've used JUST FOR MEN (for mustaches...not hair dye for men). After 5-6 minutes...greys are covered. I go in with an old, clean mascara wand to get to the roots of the brow hairs.

Lt. Blonde (which is really taupe) mixed equally with Lt. Brown gives me a medium brown that matches my brow hair. I still fill in with the RMS Brow Pencil and her unique brush and use Benefit Brow Fluff.

I used to get them colored when I went for my hair color appt. but now a silver sister.

BTW, there are two reasons the brow tinting doesn't last...the same reasons we see the grey around our hairline first....growth and makeup remover. If your cleanser every night takes off your makeup, of course it'll remover hair dye over time. Sad but true.

I have my brows tinted and wasxed about once a month at a local hair salon who many types of waxings and brow tints. The woman who I see does a great job, she's very gentle, accurate, good at what she does.

The brow fibers product I use to fill in a bit, mostly the tail portion of both brows works good too. It's a great product I foumd here, covers nicely and lays down fibers to fill in, looks very natural.

Thanks for the Just for Men class action lawsuit info. I'll read it today, had no idea.

Funny, my hair has been 100% grey since my mid 30's, but yet my brows have never gone grey.

Re: Do You Dye Your Brows?

@Trinity11 @Sunshine Kate the JUST FOR MEN lawsuit only involves the all over hair product not the mustache one I use on brows. The all over head one has different ingredients and stays on the head much longer. The one I've used for years is only on brows for 5 minutes. You can always do a patch test on your inner arm if concerned about any reactions.

@Shelbelle Same here. My hair was dark brown and all grey under the dye by age 30....colored it for almost 40 years before giving it up. Brows stayed dark except for one or two stray grey hairs. When I dye them, it covers the grey, but the second tube in the box is a "developer" (has peroxide in it) and since the colors I use are lighter than my brows, they bleach a tiny bit to a mid-tone brown.

Nicole Johnson (on youtube) has silver hair and very dark brows.

But my once very bushy thick dark brows as seen on my wedding pix, are now very sparse, wiry, and tailess, but what is there is very dark !!! I use dark brown pomade so that it looks like I have tails, if I use a lighter shade, it doesnt show up where the tails were. Oy vey, one more complaint I have !!!

It included ALL of the products including the Mustache product @Shanus . Do you need the link? They just took down an entire thread yesterday because of a link.
