How to Dye Your Eyebrows With Hair Dye

Choosing to dye your hair can dramatically change your look and help you feel more confident. While almost anyone with a couple of dollars and a little common sense can dye her hair, making your eyebrows match can be a little trickier. Without having to pay extra to go to a stylist, follow these simple instructions to make sure your eyebrows look their best and most natural.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Hair dye
• Small cup or lid
• Cotton swabs
• Old toothbrush, small
• Soap or facial wash

1. Before dying your eyebrows, finish dying your hair and make sure that it is completely dry so you have an idea of what actual color it is going to be.

2. Put aside a small bit of hair dye for your eyebrows, and place a small dab in a cup or cap.

3. Apply a very small amount of the hair dye in dabs to the roots of your eyebrows. I find that it is easiest to dab the hair dye on with the cotton swab, but it is very helpful to make sure that it is evenly applied by combing it through with the old toothbrush.

4. If your eyebrow hair is thicker than the hair on your head, you will have to leave the dye on slightly longer than the instructions call for.

5. Using soap and water or facial wash, vigorously scrub your eyebrows and rinse all of the hair dye off your face. If the tint is not to your liking, you can reapply and try to get the tint darker or lighter.

Tips & Warnings

• Use small amounts of hair dye instead of trying to saturate your eyebrows as you may end up dying your skin.
• Try not to dye your hair or eyebrows the night before a big event; if your skin is stained or your hair is not the color you would like it to be, another wash will help tone it down.
• Avoid using too much hair dye and try to avoid getting it in contact with your skin as it will stain your skin just as it will when you are dying your hair. Don't worry too much if you get some on your skin; this will wash off with some vigorous scrubbing.
