Castor oil has moisturizing properties and may promote hair growth. Anecdotal evidence suggests that castor oil also slows down the process of premature graying with consistent use. The theory is that it moisturizes and nourishes the hair follicles so they retain their natural color.
Apply a few drops of castor oil using a clean mascara wand or a cotton swab before bedtime. Gently massage it into your eyebrows and leave it overnight.
You can do this every night before bedtime.
There are multiple reasons that may lead to premature eyebrow hair graying. The leading causes of premature graying of eyebrows are:
One way to reduce oxidative stress and even stimulate hair growth is to use topical melatonin.
Kerry Lou, a makeup artist and a food, travel, fashion and fitness vlogger, shared her experience with darkening her eyebrows in a Youtube video. She says, “I’m darkening this area of my right brow, but I’m not going higher than the brow as I did on my left brow (i).” She uses a brow pencil to carefully shape and define her brows, emphasizing that slight corrections are essential. She also highlighted the significance of using a clean mascara wand to help brush the brows into shape.
Why use a DIY eyebrow tint? Like most beauty products out there, finding an eyebrow dye, or an eyebrow dye kit, that is truly all natural (and chemical-free) can be a challenge. Now, let’s talk about how to dye your eyebrows. While many opt for a salon professional, you can easily do this yourself.
Start at the inner part of your brow (closest to the bridge of your nose), which is where the brows are more dense. Using a spoolie brush or a small wooden stick, dab on the dye to the end of your brow focusing on the center first, then you can go back and get the little stray hairs along the edges. I recommend doing one brow at a time. You can use a timer set at about 15-20 minutes for the dye to take effect.
Wipe off the dye with a wet cotton ball or paper towel. You may need to add a bit of pressure or use a little back and forth motion for the best removal. Keep in mind that if you you do not remove it, it may continue to dye or darken. Washing your face after removing the dye also helps. Repeating the process about every three to four weeks can keep your eyebrows looking shapely.
Your first instinct may be to find a dark color. Once you’ve decided on the shade you’re aiming for, add the coffee grounds and cocoa powder to a small bowl. Coffee grounds are great for more than just a facial scrub - they can also help tint the eyebrows! Coffee grounds are a natural way to stain the brows. Plus it’s a great way to use today’s leftover coffee grounds Adding the cocoa powder is important for a lighter shade. So use less cocoa powder if you want a darker shade.
Now add the coconut oil, honey and aloe vera gel. It’s no secret that coconut oil offers antibacterial qualities, but it also helps bind these ingredients together. The honey is a great skin healer. Even though your eyebrows may not need healing, the honey can promote healthy skin in the brow area while also helping to bind the ingredients together.
Blend everything together and let it sit for about 5 minutes or so before applying. Now that you have your very own eyebrow dye, you can keep those brows looking perfect!
Keep in mind that you want to follow your brow shape as you apply it. Start with the thicker inner brow area and end with the outer area. You can layer the tint until you’ve achieved your desired color, but it will take about 20 minutes for the tint to dye. If you want the color to be darker, you can allow it to sit a bit longer or make your next batch with less cocoa as noted previously. Add the coffee grounds and cocoa powder to a small bowl. Blend well and let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes or so before applying.
