Eyebrows going white

9 replies

I’m 52 and my normally dark eyebrows are going white. Please help! I do pencil them in and use a bit of brow gel but the brow gel seems to wipe off the colour. Should I dye them? It’s wierd as my hair on my head is still dark.

I dye my brows as they come in very blonde, which I'm not keen on.

I use this stuff and find it very easy to use. I only leave it on for ~5 minutes but perhaps you could go a bit longer (as the instructions suggest) if it's covering greys.

I only need to dye mine every 6 weeks or so, I find the colour lasts OK for my needs.

Thankyou that looks great and once every 6 weeks is doable!

I've seen lots of people on here recommended just for men beard dye for eyebrows. I only have a couple of white hairs (and why are they so coarse!) and pluck them out. I realise as I get more this won't be a long term solution though!

I use Just for men beard dye. Marvellous stuff. I use the blonde one as it comes out quite dark. Cheap as chips off amazon and fool proof. I wack it on with a cotton bud,leave it while I fiddle about for 10 mins ish (the white hairs are quite resistent) and then wash it off. No accuracy in any way required.

This started happening to me when I was 35 or so, and still had no grey hairs on my head.

I get a brow wax and tint once a month, and use an eyebrow gel for the last week or so before my appointment

I also use Just for Men. Easy peasy.

My mother recommended the just for men beard dye to me. Now I just get them done when I go to the hairdresser.

I recommend you go a shade lighter than your natural hair colour.

As strange as it sounds, it might be worth having your thyroid checked. Hypothyroidism/Hashimoto's can cause premature greying/whitening of hair, it did for me.
