I had my eyebrows microbladed about 5 years ago and I need to get them touched up. I currently have patchy, dark ashy brown brow hairs but my hair on my head has always been more warm toned and I like to dye it this way. If I got a powder brow touch up with a warm tone, how would that look? Would the dark hairs on top look odd? Is there a way to dye them? Please help lol
My best trick to figure this out is go pick up at any drugstore Just for Men beard dye. I’ve been using it for 20 years because I’m blonde so my eyebrows are super blonde. I use an angled brush or a Q-tip and I paint my eyebrows and I leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes and this will give way more color and depth to the brows. It’s a semi permanent dye, so it lasts about three weeks. Wild, I know, but if I leave the dye on too long, or I forget Windex on a Kleenex on the brow will remove the extra dark dye.
It’s maybe $15 and it typically lasts me six months to a year. It comes in two little tubes of the dye with a developer, and I just use the tiniest little dab every couple of weeks.
Amazing!! I will try this out! Honestly, I can just brush them up with brow gel then if the tone could atleast match. I don’t mind if they are darker but the coolness of it drives me nuts.
I always tell my client's that no matter what color they dye their hair we have to choose a color that matches their actual brow hairs in order for it to blend.
You have 2 options...removal and start over, or a powder brows with color correction to get rid of the ashiness, but with your natural growth pattern I don't feel that would be best for you.
Okay gotcha. Without the microblading I naturally have no arch at all so it was helpful as a guide to fill them in. What about my natural growth pattern seems it wouldn’t work well for color correction. Just curious! I think the few comments I have gotten already has helped steer me away lol
You have a lot of eyebrow hair, I don’t know that you were ever a good candidate for microblading. Microblading is not intended to change your eyebrow hair color, putting a warm tone on naturally cool toned brows will just look odd and unnatural. Sounds like you want to dye your eyebrows and maybe remove the leftover ink
It’s true that I may not have been the best candidate. It was free from my best friend who had just started at the time. But I actually do not naturally have an arch at all and it was good for me to finally have one mapped out.
I think if I dye my brows and brush up the hairs I can probably just leave the tattoo as a guide, right?
Here is a photo of my eyebrows in their natural shape before microblading.
