Help! I dyed my eyebrows and now I look like Uncle Leo.

Easy peasy - get some hair color remover. I recommend punky hair brand, it's what I use but any should be fine for eyebrows.

Or if you can get your hands on ashes they will remove it as well.

Hairdresser here, if you have stains on the skin, Windex works great, but DAB, don’t RUB. Use COOL water to cleanse, not hot or you will set the stain. Try a few rounds of dish detergent on a wet towel to scrub lighter…

If they’re still too dark, it’s tricky, I’d use the delicate hair lightening they use on facial and body hair, trim them down as short as you can. Be careful trying to lighten or they might turn ORANGE!

Any abrasive soap will help. Just don't irritate the skin around it too much.

Uncle Leo!! HEL-LO!!!!!

Won't the natural oil from your skin lift the stain within a day or two.

The "Windex works great" on your face, around the sensitive eye area....that's questionable and may be worse than the problem itself. I would not put Windex on my face or near my eyes, dear gawd.

Too bad. Has your Ipod been claimed yet?

Lean into it swallow that foolish pride.

It is ok. Lily Colins still has career

Is the problem dye on your skin or that the eyebrow hairs are now too dark and appear much thicker?

Getting the dye off the skin shouldn’t be a big deal and it will fade in a 2-3 days even without you doing anything special.

If it’s the actual eyebrows, they you may have a problem. If it looks really bad and you need to go to the office or appear on zoom calls, maybe consider trying to find a professional hairdresser to help you out.

Just keep dousing your head and face with EXTREMELY cold water. I mean over and over and over.

What color did you dye your eyebrows? Jet black hair dye is almost indelible.

Yeah, there's a difference between dyed skin (which will go away on its own) and dyed hair (eyebrow hair).

If you dyed it a lighter color than jet black, I'd go with R1 's recommendation as it sounds like R1 has experience.

I don’t care for your demeanor, OP.

I don’t think the person was suggesting macing yourself with windex, FFS. Put a little on a cotton swab and dab.

I have recently removed ink colored dye from my hair (ends). Like darkest blue black spilled ink. It just takes a few minutes. It first looks like nothing is happening but a color remover (again, I use punky) breaks the bonds of artificial color and completely removes it so it goes from nothing... nothing... nothing... gone.

OP, next time use eyebrow makeup so that you can just wash it off if you don't like it.

How sad.

I hate to hear about breakups.

O, I forgot a decent home thing. mix baking soda with shampoo (dandruff if you have it), apply to hair, leave on for a while, rinse and repeat as needed. I try not to do that on my hair because it's damaging but for just eyebrows it should be fine. don't use lemon juice or developer- do want orange? I am guessing you don't.

Shave them off.

Get tattooed ones like an ex of mine has.

[quote] dandruff if you have it

Oh, he has it.

There's an easy solution, OP. Just shave off your eyebrows and pencil in new ones. Major Hollywood stars did it all the time!

Dawn

Uncle Leo?

Dye in a grease fire, OP!

You beat me to it, r24.

Don’t feel bad, r26. Seeing as how OP referenced it, it wasn’t exactly a “get.”

I'll bet Cousin Jeffrey's eyebrows look *spectacular* and the New York Parks Department has asked him to put on a how-to exhibition for the public. Should've waited for the workshop, OP.

You will need:

BLUE dawn detergent - original, none of that oxycodone shit

Brass shoe brushie stick

Dirt Devil plug-in (NOT BATTERY POWERED) hand-held vacuum with crevice wand attachment

1 gram of 94% THC wax

Directions: Dab eyebrows with 50/50 detergent/water mixture, lightly brush with brass scrubby, suck froth from eyebrows, rinse, suck, repeat….

Don’t tease him, R29. He may be desperate enough to try it.

Rubbing your eyebrows with prunes, which you can re-use with your porridge in the morning, should do the trick.

OP, if you thought no one would notice that you dyed your eyebrows then what was the point?

This is the sort of thing you should do when you move to a new town.

Perhaps OP is leaving town!

OP, are you performing “Flee The Nazis”? I did this five years ago when my hair was taking on Lisle Lovett / Seinfeld’s Kramer shape.

Anyway, If you are moving two duffel bags across country on a whim, do NOT waste space on expensive sheets. Bring your whole notions treasure box, though.And the good salt/pepper grinders.
