I have dyed my hair and now my eyebrows don't match

[SamTheEagle]

I have had to start dyeing my hair to hide the greys. I originally started dyeing it using a cool 5 hair dye to try and match my hair, but it kept ending up too dark.

I then switched to a chocolate brown (Naturtint 6.7) and generally like the results. It's definitely a bit lighter and warmer than my original hair colour, and I have read that if you have cool skin it is best to go for a warmer hair dye to balance out your look. I think it looks like my hair used to if I got a lot of sun on it if you know what I mean.

My only qualm is that my eyebrows still match my original hair colour. I don't think it is that noticeable in the photo that I will try to upload but looks a bit odd in real life, and makes the hair dye more obvious.

What would you recommend to fix my brows? I tried Anastasia Beverly Hills pomade in chocolate brown but my eyebrows ended up looking so dark and like a Scouse brow! I would put the hair dye on my eyebrows but it says not to. Would a coloured gel work? I think it's the tone more than the shade that needs fixing.

Or would a different hair colour be better? I don't think that I realistically have time to get to a hairdresser frequently as I have a toddler and work nearly full-time so don't want to waste my time at the hairdressers, so would definitely prefer to stick to box dyes for the moment.

PS excuse rubbish hair in the photo. I am growing out a dodgy lockdown cut and haven't had a chance to straighten it yet today.

Here's my hair and eyebrows in a more natural light.

I'm fairly sure if I was looking at this photo, I would say that the eyebrows look fine. It may just be me overthinking things but in real life I definitely do think my eyebrows look quite ashy and my hair looks very warm. It's subtle, but I think it could do with some very subtle fix.

Your eyebrows look absolutely fine to me.

Your eyebrows are very matching to your hair. They're fine.

You could try using a warmer brown brow gel (eg Benefit do a good range: www.benefitcosmetics.com/en-gb/product/gimme-brow-volumizing-eyebrow-gel?product=GIMMEBROW-FULL&sku=EC18 )

But I’m unconvinced by the advice you received (ie that if you have cool skin it is best to go for a warmer hair dye). Your hair looks lovely in itself, but if it were me I’d be seeking a more ashy hair colour to suit my cool skin.

Your eyebrows look fine to me. My eyebrows don't match my natural colour at all 🤣🤣

Neither do mine - silver hair and dark brown brows! Both natural 🙄

I think your eyebrows look fine!

I disagree that cool skin needs warm hair, though. Your natural colour (or shades thereof) is designed to match your complexion and eye colour perfectly

Your eyebrows look perfectly fine op. Fwiw mine don’t match as I colour my hair all different shades regularly - lots of people have mismatched eyebrows naturally too.

I have bleached, ashy, cool toned hair and dark eyebrows.
Loads of people I know don’t have matching hair and brows, I wouldn’t worry about it tbh.

I can't see an appreciable difference between your hair and eyebrow colour.

I’d go for a cooler (ashier) hair color. Most box dyes become warmer after a few washes anyway. I’d stick with the same lightness as your current one (so a 6?) so it doesn’t go too dark.

I can’t see a huge difference tbh
But finding the replies helpful as I’ve got very dark brown hair which I dye to cover greys
My hairdresser suggests a slightly lighter warmer shade which works well on my hair but does mean my brows are darker and even though it’s the fashion for some - I’m not convinced
