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.

😏 Does using a Sharpie count?

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.

Re: Do You Dye Your Brows?

[ Edited ]

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 Smiley Very Happy.   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! Smiley Wink

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.
