Expert Answer

You can apply a paste of coffee grounds or strong black tea to your eyebrows for natural darkening. Henna is a stronger natural dye, but it can stain the skin, so it needs to be applied carefully.

Massaging the brows helps stimulate growth, as does moisturizing them. Try applying olive oil or argan oil overnight.

Vaseline can protect the brows and seal in their natural moisture. This can strengthen them and encourage growth.

To make an eyebrow tint at home, mix finely ground coffee with a bit of water to form a paste. Apply the paste to your brows and let it sit for at least 10 minutes before wiping it off with a damp cloth.

Question

Why are my eyebrows light?

Community Answer

This would have the same answer as the question, "why do I have blonde hair?" It has to do with how much melanin you have in your body. The amount of melanin someone has determines their hair and skin color. However, hair lightens when exposed to UV rays from the sun (and sometimes is gently bleached in chlorine), so if you spend time outside (or swim in chlorinated pools) the ends of your hair and your eyebrows will usually lighten quickest. If you're unhappy with how your eyebrows are lighter than your hair, there are many semi-permanent eyebrow tints and eyebrow pomades on the market (at most beauty stores) to help darken them.

Question

I was born with bleach blonde hair. Eventually when I gotten older my hair changed to a dirty blonde, but my eyebrows are still bleach blonde and you can't see them. What should I do?

Community Answer

You could use makeup to make them darker. You could also have your eyebrows dyed to closer to your current hair color.

Question

If I have blonde eyebrows but, I am a brunette. Will get darker as I get older, or will I have to use makeup to make them look darker than they really are?

Community Answer

You can dye your eyebrows instead of having to fix them every day. Buy a brow-coloring product at your local drugstore. You can also have them dyed at hair salons.

Question

I used benzoyl peroxide to cure my acne; it really helped, but bleached my beautiful, dark eyebrows. How can I get my natural color back?

Top Answerer

They have been bleached, so your only two options are to dye them or wait for them to grow out.

Question

I am a guy with brown hair, but whitish-blonde eyebrows. I don’t want a cosmetic solution, but rather a natural and permanent solution. Is there anything I can do?

Belle K.

Top Answerer

No natural ones. I'm afraid the only way you could do that would be edit your DNA. But you can get tattooed eyebrows by microblading if you were interested in a permanent solution.

Question

I'm 75 and my eyebrows are getting sparse and greyish. What colour should I use? I find even the softest brown looks wrong.

Crystal

Community Answer

Match your hair color from when you were young. And use eyebrow gel. Don't put hair dye on your eyebrows for risk of getting it in your eyes. Then fill in with an eyebrow pencil for hairs that are missing.
