Question

Can you use hot chocolate powder instead of cocoa powder?

Community Answer

No, you should use pure cocoa powder. Hot chocolate mix has sugar and other ingredients that can interfere with the dyeing process.

Question

Do I have to add honey?

Community Answer

If you don't add the honey, the coffee mixture will likely drip down your face. It can also stain your skin, so you really don't want that to happen.

Question

Will this work on head hair also?

Community Answer

You can use coffee to dye your hair too. It's usually easier to mix it with conditioner instead of the coconut oil and honey, and allow it to sit on your hair for at least an hour before rinsing it out.

Question

Can this be used on eyelashes?

Community Answer

It's not a good idea to use the coffee dye on your lashes. Because your lashes are closer to your eyes than your brows, there's a much greater chance of the mixture dripping in and irritating your eyes.

Question

How much cocoa powder should I put in if I have dirty blonde-light brown hair?

Community Answer

You'll likely want to add 1 to 2 teaspoons (3 to 6 g) of cocoa powder. If you're worried about your brows winding up too dark, it's best to add more cocoa powder, which will help lighten the effect.

Question

Can raw cacao powder be used instead of cocoa?

Community Answer

Yes, it can. It is better, actually, as it has no added sugar. (Sugar can sometimes interfere with the dying process.)

Question

Does dyeing with coffee work on gray eyebrows?

Community Answer

Yes, it will darken them as well, but the change won't be very subtle. I mean, it will probably look fine, but people will immediately notice the difference in your appearance, so just be aware of that.

Question

Will this work for a few white eyebrow hairs?

Community Answer

Yes, this would totally work but you might want to go over your whole eyebrow just in case. If you just go over the white hairs, you might just have a few random dark spots on your eyebrow.

You must use both, otherwise this will not work. Also, make sure you are using pure cocoa powder; anything else may interfere with the dyeing.

Question

How long does the eyebrow tint last? Can I store it?

Community Answer

Because it’s a mixture of wet and dry, even though those ingredients both have long shelf lives, it would only hold for about 4-5 weeks.

Question

Can I use olive oil instead?

Community Answer

Yes, you can and it may work better than coconut oil. It is easier to mix and binds better with the other ingredients.
