Eyebrow Lightening?

[lauren89]

I there such a think as having your eyebrows lightened?

I have naturally quite ligt hair that I have highlighted but have really dark eyebrows. I've rang round salons to see if they can lighten my brows but they all just do tinitng.

So I'm starting to wonder if this exists as a service?

Refectocil tints do a bleaching paste to lighten dark eyebrows.

Have you used this paste? If so what is it like?

What would they do? Bleach and then tint them?
Would tint not lighten them? X

I actually do it at home myself because i couldn't find aywhere here to do it - I was definitely scared the first time I did it but it turned out fantastic! I used the Jolen creme bleach that you can buy in any chemist. The first time i did it i just put it on for 1 minute intervals and then removed, checked the colour then reapplied (just for reassurance really!) Now i re-do mine every 8 - 10 weeks (or whenever needed) and have got the timing down perfectly.

My hair is naturally med/dark brown but i'm now blonde so the eyebrows were REALLY dark in comparison - it makes a lovely difference and nobody would notice i've bleached my brows, its a subtle difference but one that I notice looks much better with the blonde hair

Refectocil bleaching paste must be mixed with the Refectocil Creme Developer and is applied just like a tint but left on a little longer depending how light you want to go.

Honestly - thats what i thought too lol, I was CONVINCED I would have orange eye brows, especially since i have alot of Red Tones in my hair naturally.....but it just lightened it to a lighter brown. So i'd say my brows are lightish brown now. I think removing it every minute then reapplying the first time I did it made me realise that they aren't going to just change colour so quickly, it just takes it a tiny shade lighter every few minutes. From dark brown to light brown it takes about 9 minutes in total, no orange in sight
