BLEACHING EYEBROWS
We have taken matters into our hands and have decided to educate you on bleaching eyebrows and all that it entails. Should you consider doing it? Should you steer clear of it? What are the possible side effects of bleaching? We shall answer all this and more. Read on!
Why Do It?
Well, women do it for various reasons. Sometimes it is done in an effort to make the eyebrows less stark, softening the facial features and giving a more delicate look. Sometimes it is done to help match the eyebrows with the hair. If you have bleached or colored your hair to a lighter shade, then bleaching your eyebrows to match your hair is a good idea to make your hair color look more like natural.

How To Bleach Eyebrows
Use a bleach that can be used on your delicate brow area, such as the Sally Hansen’s Creme Hair Bleach. Mix the bleach and apply it onto your brows, making sure you cover every little hair completely. Leave it on for the required time (always wipe it off sooner rather than later). The aim is to go a shade or two lighter, else it could end up making you look washed out or worse, give your brows a brassy orange color!

Note: Never leave the bleach on for too long as you will end up with the no-brow look, which might be all the rage on the runway but not so much on the walkway!

If You Choose To Do It…
If you do choose to bleach your eyebrows then remember that you need to re-touch it as and when the roots grow out. So bleaching your eyebrows is not a one-off thing but an ongoing process. Make sure you are ready for that.
So? Does this sound like something you would like to try? Or are you happy with your brows just the way you are and don’t want the hassle of re-touching them with bleach every few weeks? Most women are not sure whether they’ll like it if their brows are lighter. They go ahead and bleach it and some love it, some hate it and some just don’t really see that much of a difference. Wonder which category you’ll fall under?
