You can whiten your own eyebrows at home using bleach with the help of a few simple tools and a little time. This should be done steadily in an airy space. You can whiten your entire brow to give it a completely different look, or just lighten and shape your erratic brows. Most importantly, whitening eyebrows can be done at home.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Using Bleach
Step 1. Style your hair so it doesn't cover your face
You can use a headband or towel to keep your hair from falling on your face, or you can tie it in a ponytail. This is useful so that the hair is not accidentally exposed to bleach.
- Even if your hair is very short, it's a good idea to keep it pulled back away from your face because strands of hair can interfere with your activities. Use bobby pins or headbands to secure bangs and short hair.
- Whitening eyebrows is a job that requires full and detailed attention.
Step 2. Remove the makeup that sticks to the eyebrows
Removing any makeup, oil, or dirt that has stuck to the skin will help increase the success of eyebrow whitening. To clean the sensitive area around the eyes, use a makeup remover.
If you've just showered, wait a while before working on your eyebrows. Warm water and steam can make your skin more susceptible to irritation when exposed to bleach
Step 3. Mix whitening powder with developer (mixing liquid to open hair follicles)
Popular whitening products usually contain whitening powder, developer or peroxide solution, and instructions for use. Follow the directions for mixing the ingredients, which will result in a cream to apply to the brows.
- Mix the bleach and developer powder in a glass bowl or other non-chemical container.
- Stir the mixture with a cotton bud until it becomes smooth.
Step 4. Test the whitening cream on the jaw
Test the cream on other parts of the skin to see how your skin reacts to the whitening product so you don't want anything to happen. Make sure you use a whitening cream designed for facial hair because facial skin is more sensitive than other areas of the body.
- If your skin is very sensitive, use a milder whitening product designed for sensitive skin.
- You can also test bleach products on hair elsewhere on your body to see how fast the color changes in bleached hair. This allows you to predict the bleaching process of the eyebrows later.
Step 5. Apply the mixture
Commercial whitening creams usually come with a small dabbing tool. If the dab is missing or a whitening product doesn't provide one, you can also use a cotton swab. Do this gently, but accurately, when you apply the whitening cream to your eyebrows.
- Do not rub the cream into the skin.
- Make sure the eyebrows you want to whiten are completely and evenly covered with cream.
Step 6. Pay attention to the time
If it's your first time whitening your eyebrows, let the mixture sit over your eyes for only 1 or 2 minutes. Remember, the time this bleach sticks starts from the first application on the eyebrows.
- You can apply bleach again, but once your eyebrows are bleached, you will have to wait for them to grow back before you can apply bleach again.
- Let the bleach mixture sit on your skin for less than 10 minutes, no matter how dark or light you want your brow color to be.
Step 7. Wipe the cream stuck to the eyebrows
The best tool for wiping off whitening products is a wet washcloth. Be careful not to rub the skin, which may be irritated by the bleach.
- Make sure all the bleach is wiped clean.
- After wiping your eyebrows clean, look into your eyes in the mirror to check the results. If you want to apply whitening cream again, Ana can do it now.
- If you like the results, wash your face with a mild cleanser. This will wash off any remaining bleach.
Method 2 of 3: Perfect Eyebrows
Step 1. Shape eyebrows after 24 hours
Wait a while before you shape your eyebrows to prevent irritation. Use angled-tipped tweezers to pluck your eyebrows to the desired shape. The eyebrows will frame the eyes so that you can use the eyes as a guide in shaping the eyebrows. The eyebrows should be directly above the tear glands, and the highest point on the brow arch should be parallel to the outer edge of the iris. The other end of the eyebrow should be outside the imaginary line drawn from the outer corner of the eye.
- Take a shower or bath before you shape your eyebrows. This will make it easier for you to pluck your eyebrows because the hair follicles will open.
- If you feel pain when plucking your eyebrows, try applying a numbing cream to your eyebrows before you pluck them.
- If you're not satisfied with the shape of your eyebrows, wait about 3 weeks before you pluck them again so you don't overdo it. If you like the shape, pluck the hair that comes out of the eyebrow shape once a week.
Step 2. Use good lighting and a regular mirror
A magnifying mirror makes your eyebrows look bigger, which can make you pluck too much. The best method for plucking eyebrows is to use a regular mirror in a bright room.
- Periodically step back from the mirror to observe your eyebrows from afar. This will give a better idea of how your eyebrows look when other people look at them.
- Remember that people will only see your eyebrows in normal lighting.
Step 3. Find out where to apply the whitening cream
Many people only apply whitening cream to the top of the eyebrows, which will result in unnatural lines if the eyebrows are plucked. If you apply bleach to the top of your eyebrows, you will get natural looking brows in the bleached hair.
- Whitening creams can also be used to lighten the hair between the eyebrows.
- Be careful when applying chemicals near the eyes. If the whitening cream gets into your eyes by accident, wash it off immediately with water.
Method 3 of 3: Lightening Eyebrows Without Bleaching
Step 1. Use hydrogen peroxide
If you don't like using whitening creams, or want lighter brows, try using a 3% hydrogen peroxide solution. Dip a cotton swab in hydrogen peroxide and apply it on the brow area you want to lighten.
- Hydrogen peroxide can be obtained easily and cheaply at pharmacies and drug stores.
- Leave the hydrogen peroxide on your eyebrows for a few minutes if this is your first time using it, then wipe it off by wiping it off. If desired, apply this solution every day to get a gradual brightness of the eyebrow color.
- On black eyebrows, hydrogen peroxide will turn them into a reddish-brown instead of blonde.
Step 2. Lighten eyebrows using chamomile tea
If you don't want to use chemicals and prefer natural products, try mixing chamomile tea with lemon juice. Make tea by pouring boiling water into a container filled with chamomile tea bags. Let the tea bags soak for about an hour. Add equal amounts of lemon juice, and mix well.
- Apply the tea mixture on the eyebrows using a cotton bud.
- Do this every day so that the eyebrows get lighter gradually.
Step 3. Color the eyebrows using a pencil or gel
You can lighten your eyebrows using an eyebrow pencil that is a shade lighter than your eyebrows. However, this method may not work on dark brown eyebrows.
- You can also use a lighter shade of eyeshadow around the eyebrows to give it a brighter look.
- Eyebrow gel a few shades lighter than the eyebrows can make the eyebrows lighter.
