jolen creme bleach

twinkle · Coach

i wouldnt put this on your eyebrows- it will bleach them white...

I'd say brow bleaching should be a strictly professional thing - when you lighten hair (especially if it's dark to start with) and don't want to go all the way blonde, it goes through scary red/orange/gold phases that nobody wants the color of their brows to be. I'd say your chances of having that happen and then having to go to a salon to have them try to 'fix' it is highly, highly likely.

Pros only (for at the very least the first few times)! Then if you're confident you might be able to go it alone after that.

The salons in my state won't bleach brows because they say it is illegal. UGH.

I've done this before and it's been fine. I only leave the bleach on for 3-5 mins. But I have dark brown hair. It gets lighter and a little coppery but it looks okay IMO. I'd start out with 3 mins and move up to desired results. If you do, make sure you bleach each eyebrow for an even amount of time.

I would be worried about getting it in my eye if I did it myself!

That's weird that its illegal, though
