If those pesky gray hairs are popping up around your eyes, follow these tips to control them.
You Will Need
- Eyebrow dye
- Mind soap
- Ophthalmic ointment
- Petroleum jelly
- Cotton swabs
- Paper towels
- Sterile eye-irrigating solution (optional)
If you get dye in your eyes, rinse with a full bottle of sterile eye-irrigating solution. If irritation persists use another bottle.
Step 1: Test the dye
Test the dye on the back of your neck or inner upper arm and wait for two days. Examine the area for any irritation to see if you are allergic to the dye.
Only use dye that is approved for eyebrow use, and always read the manufacturer’s directions before beginning.
Step 2: Wash and dry
Wash your face with mild soap and dry completely.
Step 3: Apply ophthalmic ointment
Apply ophthalmic ointment to your upper and lower eyelids, spreading it from your lashes to about two inches around the eye.
Step 4: Cover eyebrow outline
Cover your eyebrow outline with petroleum jelly to prevent the dye from staining your skin.
Do not get the petroleum jelly on any of the hairs on your eyebrows.
Step 5: Saturate a cotton swab
Saturate a cotton swab with the dye.
Choose a swab that is perfectly tailored, not fraying at the ends.
Step 6: Apply the dye to the eyebrow hair
Wipe all the eyebrow hairs with the cotton swab and leave the dye on for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Rinse off the dye
Wipe off the dye with a wet paper towel. Then wash your face again to remove excess dye.
Did you know? In 2009 an Indiana man raised money for a charity project by letting volunteers shave his three-inch-long eyebrows.
