Safe Eyebrow/Eyelash Dyeing

Yes, your eyelashes and eyebrows may be dyed but your best bet is to leave it to a professional!
There is a difference between dye for hair, and dye for eyebrows & eyelashes. If you find a salon that offers this service, make sure it is one by a liscensed cosmetologist. They will use precautions to protect your eyes. The dye is brushed on and left on for approximately 10 minutes, then wiped off. The color normally lasts between 4 - 6 weeks and gradually wears off.
It is best to pick a shade lighter than your haircolor to make it look natural. The cosmetologist has experience in this procedure and would be considered an excellent second opinion coach. Good Luck!

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Call reputable salons in your area to find out if this service is available.

  2. Step 2

    Ask if you could go in for a consultation prior to making the appointment.

  3. Step 3

    Make sure you feel comfortable with the cosmetologist who will be performing the service.

  4. Step 4

    Feel free to ask how many times they have done this before booking your appointment.

Tips & Warnings
  • Remember, this is on YOUR face, no question is wrong. Ask away!
  • In most cases, you get what you pay for. Leave this to a professional!

on 2/6/2008 If your hair is going to be dyed black, then your lashes and brows should be dark brown. Dark brown is much more natural than basic black.
