Sudden Grey Eyebrows!!

White Picket Fence — Tue, 25 Nov 2025 07:56:31 GMT

Help! Suddenly for about two months now I have noticed that my eyebrows have white hairs popping through my brow pencil color. I can't cover it. Why so sudden? Can anyone tell me how I can cover these white hairs? It's driving me crazy. I plucked some out which I never do. What is the best eye brow pencil? Thanks

Nope. PLUCK THEM! My brows are no more sparse by lucking my white hairs.

I agree -- there are many eyebrow mascaras out there and they cover much better than pencils, etc. I know that maybelline has at least one which I have and it comes in a tube just like a regular mascara. I have a lot of gray in mine and it really works.

I dye my eyebrows every two weeks with Just for Men Mustache and Beard dye. I still use a pencil for shaping.

I haven't had an issue with many white or grey brow hairs...yet. Every now and then, though, I get a dark one with a mind of its own. It's thicker and longer than the rest and sticks out like a sore thumb. I pluck that guy out. I'd do the same with random grey hairs too if it was only one or two and not often. But we all need to accept that our brows will eventually whiten the same way our hair will. I use RMS Back2Brow powder and I like it a lot, but it's not a pencil and it's not a drugstore price. Still, it covers well and the container lasts a very long time. When it gets used up, refills are available so you don't need to buy the actual compact part again. If you want a drugstore mascara type to cover and add some control, you could try NYX Thick It Stick It. I've used it before too.

I've used Urban Decay and other name brands but ended up liking cheap Maybelline Eye Tattoo better.

Don't use a pencil as it doesn't cover the gray.

I wish companies would make semi dark gray eyebrow products.

I agree about dying them (JUST FOR MEN MUSTACHE...5 minutes only). Please do not tweeze them. They may not grow back and leave bald areas.

After brows have been dyed (I use Lt. Blonde which comes out a natrual taupe) groom using a small old, clean mascara wand and brush them up. Use a brow gel to hold in place and trim along the top to catch the longer hairs. This will show you where pencil is needed to fill in. Use a small cuticle scissors for trimming.

I like filling in from arch to the tail and do very little to the beginning of the brow. It looks more natural and not stamped or heavy.

BTW, when brows have a few grey hairs or all grey, they should be colored close to your root shade and almost your original hair color. Using grey products you can some times lose the definition you need to frame the face.

I don't pluck mine. I use a taupe colored eyebrow pencil & it helps them blend in. I would go with a lighter brow pencil like taupe, blond or light brown. It's like when you see some people trying to hide that they're getting grey, thinner hair & they color it a dark black. It really accentuates the grey hair & bald spots more.

I get one gray hair only in one brow occasionally. I pluck it out. It's not true that if you pluck a gray hair then two will grow back. Not gonna happen.

@White Picket Fence I use Just For Men Beard & Mustache Color, too. It's in a teal colored box.

My hair was dark brown, but it's now not really grey, but an ashy blonde shade.

I use the Blonde to blend in the grey hairs.

I still use Benefit Mighty Fine Waterproof Brow Pen (2.5 Blonde) to fill in sparse areas.

@Shanus never thought of using an old mascara Wand to brush through and up . I've been using a soft toothbrush , but now I'm going to try the mascara wand, Need to toss my old one for a new one anyways ...

I do use cuticle scissors to trim or the brow gal. Y Tanya Crooks , they actually work the best.

Suddenly my brows did the same thing! I was using Just For Men to dye them. Then I found Just For Men in a thick mascara type wand. I use an old eyebrow brush, rub along the this Just For Men wand---and wow---easier than dying!

@just bee I've tried that and it got very dark in a shorter amount of time. I went back to the one for mustaches.

Funny, my brows have really thinned out but no greys, yet the hair on my head was grey in my 30's go figure.
