People dye their eyebrows by carefully applying a semi-permanent dye to the brow hairs after prepping the area and protecting the surrounding skin. Here's a breakdown of the process:
Eyebrow Dyeing Procedure
-
Preparation: A specialist (or the individual themselves) cleans the eyebrow area thoroughly. Petroleum jelly is then applied around the eyebrows to act as a barrier, preventing the dye from staining the skin.
-
Dye Mixing: The eyebrow dye is mixed according to the manufacturer's instructions. These dyes are specifically formulated for use on the delicate skin around the eyes.
-
Application:
- The dye is carefully applied to the eyebrows.
- First, it's applied in the direction of hair growth to ensure all hairs are coated.
- A second layer is often applied in the opposite direction of hair growth to ensure even coverage and saturation.
-
Processing Time: The dye is left on the eyebrows for a specific amount of time, as directed by the product instructions (typically a few minutes). This allows the dye to penetrate the hair shaft and deposit color.
-
Removal: The dye is gently removed with a damp cotton pad or cloth. Any remaining petroleum jelly is also removed.
-
Final Result: The result is darker, more defined eyebrows that can last for several weeks, depending on the dye and individual hair growth cycle.
It is important to note that dyeing eyebrows at home can be risky if not done correctly. It's always best to go to a trained professional.
