How often do you tint your eyebrows?

I’m doing mine sporadically and I think it’d be beneficial to have a regular tint booked in.

Not sure how often the turnover is, or how long it lasts?

I’ve also got all the kit at home but too scared to give it a go. 😝

How hard is it?

I’ve been doing mine at home for a while, it’s super easy! I have the Eyelure kit from Boots, it’s lasted absolutely ages, can’t even remember when I bought it and I probably do them every 6 weeks or so, I try and remember to do them when I get my hair done.

I started out doing one at a time, putting Vaseline all round etc but I don’t bother now, I just put it on both at the same time & once you get the hang of it it’s really simple, and I leave it on the full time too, to start with I was a bit nervous about it being too dark but now I just leave it the maximum.

I do mine when I remember, probably monthly. I use beard dye for men. I'm quite fair so I use the blonde one. I put it on with a cotton bud and leave it on whilst I'm in the shower. No need for vaseline or anything as it doesn't stain your skin. A box lasts me ages and is very cheap.

I do mine myself with a kit I bought from Boots, lasts a couple of weeks, I tend to top it up every month when I remember, it's really easy, don't be scared, it will be fine.

I often go to lady to get mine done , but often wondered about the eye lash dye kits and how easy it is ( or not !)
I'm not good at things like this though !

About once a fortnight because I like them dark! I try to do them when I’m going somewhere.

Chillisintheair · 21/10/2024 18:40

It’s really easy. I do it every 3 weeks along with my eye lashes when I’m doing roots. Different dye for all 3.

QueenAstrid · 21/10/2024 18:41

I get mine done professionally, and do it myself on occasion. I find either way, it doesn’t last much more than a couple of weeks, and I prefer now just to use makeup each day instead.

I do mine every 5 weeks. I leave for quite a while & look like Groucho Marks initially but it goes after a couple of days. Been doing mine for years, get refectocil brand & it's good. Need doing now, thanks for reminding me! Was told to shape brows after dying, not before.

I've done mine myself for nearly 20 yrs. I usually dye them every 3/4 wks. I don't bother buying the tiny little, over priced kits either. I don't even use vaseline/barrier cream, I use a lip liner brush so can be very precise with the application. I buy a cheap permanent hair dye from Savers/Poundland/ B&M and use a 3% peroxide. The tube of dye lasts me all year, so I save a fortune 😊

I started doing mine in lockdown using refectocil it’s come in quite a few different shades.i mix it in a little pot then apply it with a little angled eye makeup brush. I have some tweezerman shaped eyebrow scissors and tweezers.

I have mine done every five weeks professionally. It’s the only thing I really do beauty wise (at a salon I mean!) and I love the difference it makes.

AlwaysFoldingWashing · 21/10/2024 20:38

I do them at home probably every 2 weeks. I get the Schwarzkopf one and it's super easy. I'm very fair so I leave it on for 8 mins rather than 10

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 21/10/2024 23:03

I do brows and lashes at home, also with Refectocil. Brown for brows, lashes blue/black. I get my eyebrows waxed every three weeks in a salon and do it on the same day, lashes probably about once every six weeks.
