OK, I just got a frantic call from a client. Seems she told her stylist that she wanted to lighten her brows - not too much, just a bit to blend in with her blond hair. Well, you can only guess what happened. Too much bleach gave her the "no eyebrow" look.
So, what went wrong. For starters, bleach can turn hairs orange. Do not bleach. My clients brows had a hint of red in them after the bleaching process.
Here is the advice I gave to my client.

- Condition brows in the shower as you would your hair to help with the damage.
- Try a tinted brow gel. Laura Geller makes one that's sold on QVC .
- Try a powder and brush to help bring brows forward. I use Vanitymark in my Studio.
- Wait a bit and try again with coloring them. Please note that it is illegal in all fifty states to tint brows with hair color as it can cause blindness. Some spas can do this with a safer vegetable dye, but there will be maintenance.
If you want to lighten your brows at home gradually over a few weeks, you may like Eyebrowz Natural Herb Lightener.
Consult an eyebrow professional before attemting to radically change the look of your brows.
