How often do you dye your eyebrows?

Hi everyone, I've been dyeing my eyebrows for a few years now (I have nearly black hair and find that dyeing my eyebrows helps enormously in reducing the need to fill them in with make up and also means I am happier when going make up free) and while I am happy with it, I find it a chore as I have to do it every four weeks or so. How often do you do it? And do those of you who also dye their lashes find that that makes a difference too? I tried that but didn't notice much change. My eyebrows and lashes are very dark already but while I can see the point of doing my eyebrows, I can't really be bothered to do my lashes as the colour doesn't seem to make enough difference. Thoughts?

If anything, I slightly lighten my eyebrows!!

Probably need to dye my eyebrows every two-three weeks. The dye doesn’t seem to last long. My brows are relatively fair so I just do them light brown.
I do my eyelashes every 4-6 weeks and it makes a big difference for me. If yours are dark and it makes no difference I wouldn’t bother. I still wear mascara for the definition and thickening.

maddy68 · 25/04/2020 12:30

Every 3-4 weeks

Oblomov20 · 25/04/2020 12:33

Once every few months. Probably once a Qtr.

novacaneforthepain · 25/04/2020 12:34

I do mine every week , I am really blonde. Lashes and eye brows

a little tip for any blondes who tint there eyebrows... use grey tint. It's amazing

DeborahAnnabelToo · 25/04/2020 12:41

Every 2 weeks here. I'm a natural mousy brown with slightly darker brows. Are people dyeing their own eyelashes? How are people doing that, would be interested in a guide!

fairydustandpixies · 25/04/2020 12:48

Er, never??? Is this a thing???

JacobReesMogadishu · 25/04/2020 12:55

Never. Just use a pencil every mo which takes 5 seconds.

funmummy48 · 25/04/2020 12:56

Never

FozzieMK · 25/04/2020 13:02

Every 3 to 4 weeks as they are mainly white lol!

Gingernaut · 25/04/2020 13:03

About once a month

Curiouzerandcuriouzer · 25/04/2020 13:04

I wish I had eyebrows to dye!

Bagelsandbrie · 25/04/2020 13:04

Never.

Wheresthebiffer2 · 25/04/2020 13:06

I had it done once. It was okay. But not a dramatic difference to my "looks" so I haven't bothered since.

Bananasandchocolatecustard · 25/04/2020 13:09

Never.

honfleuri · 25/04/2020 13:12

When salons were open monthly, but they would fade a lot in the interim.

Please share your secrets of home tinting - what do you use and where can I buy it from? Grin

feliciabirthgiver · 25/04/2020 13:27

Every 4-5 weeks to get rid of the grey!

DeborahAnnabelToo · 25/04/2020 13:28

@honfleuri I use refectocil, bought from Amazon. Very very easy to do. You also need the developer (in the white bottle) or the dye wont do anything. Vaseline around your brows to protect the skin.

How often do you dye your eyebrows?
honfleuri · 25/04/2020 13:29

Amazing thank you. Caterpillars ahoy!

user1494055864 · 25/04/2020 13:42

I've got some Eyelure eyebrow dye today from Amazon. I've never done them myself before, so I'm a bit scared! I have very sparse eyebrows, and was getting them done at a salon, but still having to fill them in, but I think they look slightly better with colour on, but I'm scared of messing it up!

Purplepeonies · 25/04/2020 13:44

I use the eyelure one every fortnight or so. My eyebrows are incredibly fair. It makes a huge difference to my face!

Purplepeonies · 25/04/2020 13:46

Also I do dye my lashes from time to time but I'm not very good at doing it on myself.

LBOCS2 · 25/04/2020 13:49

I use the eyelure dyebrow probably once a month or so? I do it at the same time as bleaching my moustache, as they take similar amounts of time to develop. Never had it done at a salon although (in normal circumstances) I get my eyebrows threaded in the days after I dye them as it can pick up paler hairs which were missed by threading otherwise.

Never
