Don't pluck. There may be dye options, but you don't want to thin out your eyebrows. I trim them.

Eyelure eyebrow tint. About £7 off amazon. Lasts a good six months. Slap it one, wipe it off. Looks fab!

It’s the bees knees

Dye of Internet.. And a proper brush. Every month now!! Cost a tenner - prob last a year!!

Merryoldgoat · 28/09/2021 21:27

Yes. Grey in eyebrows, pubes and on chin.

A truly magical time, esp as minge hair is also patchy owing to stretch marks from two gigantic babies.

I also use Eyelure. I get it in Superdrug. I'm in my 50's and have to trim mine because they grow really long these days.

Is 43 young for this shit to be happening? 😫

@Merryoldgoat Oh god, I’m sure it won’t be long for me to reach the same point

No greys in the brows yet though they could be darker so thanks for sharing good dye options.

Grey pubes though, I feel ooolldd. And they just appeared one day.

MonkeyPuddle · 28/09/2021 21:30

Nope. I’ve been going grey since I was 21! I’m 36 now and have embraced the greys in my head hair but I have quite dark eyes so like my brows darker as well.

AnneLovesGilbert · 28/09/2021 21:30

I’m late 30s Hmm

Merryoldgoat · 28/09/2021 21:31

@Gingerbreadsnaps

StoneofDestiny · 28/09/2021 21:32

Eyelure - I get it in Boots

Gingerbreadsnaps · 28/09/2021 21:32

I’ve started with stragglers in my head Gaye too, I just yank them out, it seems to have come all at once 🤷🏻‍♀️

Theunamedcat · 28/09/2021 21:32

Mine are going white if I don't have time to dye them I use eyebrow mascara and just colour them in

My eyebrows have got so thin. The hairs seem to have mysteriously migrated to my chin (I'm 52!)

I dye my eyebrows brown black....off amazon

Cabinfever10 · 28/09/2021 22:33

Mine didn't go gray they just turned white over about a year I was only 38 but atleast they match my hair which started going white in my teens

WhoIsPepeSilva · 28/09/2021 23:12

Yep, one in left brow for years, righty caught up last year Grin

I leave them butt sometimes they get very long for some reason so I pluck them then to save being poked in the eye ha ha!

WhoIsPepeSilva · 28/09/2021 23:13

*but - don't type with one hand Blush

IsDaveThere · 28/09/2021 23:22

I've got one grey eyelash that comes back no matter how many times i pluck it out. I nearby cried when that appeared. I can cope with the grey hair on my head (dye it!), the odd grey eyebrow hair, and my chin hairs turning white so I can't see them, but the eyelash almost typed me over the edge Grin

Spikeyplants · 28/09/2021 23:32

I got a few greys in my eyebrows in my mid 30's! I was initially plucking, but the beautician said not too, because they will eventually stop growing and go thin. SO glad I stopped plucking them early on.

I now just dye them monthly when I dye my hair with casting colours. A semi-wash out box dye colour.

Yes, I'm aware that head hair colouring isn't to be used on eye brows, but after doing it for 5+yrs, I've never had any issues.
