HELP. Eyebrow disaster. Practical solutions PLEASE.

[YunoYurbubson]

I am very very very fair. I often get my eyelashes dyed. I thought I'd get my eyebrows lightly tinted too.

Not a good plan.

I look like this.

What to do?

Please.

Quickly.

Bleach? Lemon juice? Toothpaste?

PLEASE.

Eek!

Talc? Come a fringe over it?

No fringe. Talc? Would that help?

It temporary lightens hair (coating it in white stuff, OK)

You could try asking the salon who did it - or was it self-inflicted? Or ask a salon to put it right?

Er. You've tried just washing them a few times?

Dye your hair a darker shade to match?

Try washing your eyebrows with head and shoulders (much advertised on here when someone has a hair dye disaster) but make sure it doesn't go in your eyes [stingy emoticon]

You could bleach them. But be careful you don't end up like this.

Lemon juice on them and go and sit out in the sun. If you don't fancy the skin damage than go back to the salon and ask them to put it right. Could it be that you are just not used to having visible eyebrows? Hope I'm not offending you but some very fair people don't really have very visible brows.

Hmmm... I've just done a Boots whitening cream thing. I think it has made a difference. Dh not so sure.

Honesty, no no, you're right, I don't normally have visible eyebrows which is why I decided to try tinting them. I'm not exactly Point & Laugh Status, but I have a feeling I am still Double Take From Friends Status.

Shit.

The bleach has definitely taken the edge off.

I'm going out in under 2 hours.

Post a pic so we can snigger reassure you?

rub with a flannel and soap. i ahve over darkened mine before. it does work

i thought htis was cyb
to add ot her regular hair disasters!

excuse me my hair looks FAb at the mo

i am glorying in it

have you seen corny around recently?

nope

DP grew a beard about 6 months back.

Some of it came through grey - he got some of that just for men beard stuff (vain git) and asked me to sort it for him.

Painted it on. Was black like boot polish. I didn't know you had to be careful with it and just paint the hairs. I was quite cavalier with it and painted the skin etc.

Then finished my cup of tea

My god I have never seen him so close to tears - he looked like Brian Blessed from Flash Gordon. Shave the beard off and the skin was stained dark grey.

Lots of facial scrub later and jolen bleach it was still stained.

Was like it for about a week. His brothers and work colleagues took the piss mightily.

Sorry i am no help.

tee hee

why is a wife ruining her husbands face funny? dont know, but it is

Oh I was so sorry for him - I just looked at his face and felt a wave of hysteria build right up.

Said sorry and all but think the effect was spoilt by all the laughter.

He looked like such a tool, bless him.

Oh fuck.

I've done smokey eye makeup to match darkened brows, and a farking great beaded turquoise necklace to draw the eye away...

But I've just done hand over with the babysitter and I swear she was gawping at my forehead the whole time I was explaining about glasses of water and how to work the tv. She is texting her friends about wierd eyebrow lady as I speak. I am sure of it.

Dh is not much help. He says "No no, it's fine, it looks fine, I mean everyone will notice but the diners at other tables probably won't".

Dying your husband's chin is NOT FUNNY.

No dye related mishaps are ever funny.

Ever.
