If you are thinking of using hair dye on the eyebrows consider this. Hair dye has two components: there is the colour aspect, and the developer. The key active ingredient in developer is peroxide.
Peroxide levels are measured according to what you’re doing to the hair. Peroxide content in professional dyes used at a hair salon can range up to 40%. For example, if you are depositing colour, then you’re woking at a lower percentage of peroxide (about 10%). On the other hand, if you are lifting colour, the peroxide level will increase.
Specialized dyes for use on facial hair have a lower peroxide content of 3%.
Peroxide’s Purpose
The role of peroxide is to open up the seal of the hair. Peroxide pops the scales of your hair up so the colour can tuck itself into the cuticle of the hair. Eventually you mask it and seal it back up. Higher percentages really open up those scales often resulting in split ends. The wider the scales are opened, the harder it is to close them once you’re done.
Relatively speaking, the 3% found in specialized facial hair tint is very mild. It won’t completely open the hair, just enough to deposit the colour.
Drugstore Dyes
Box dyes contain lesser percentages of peroxide than professional dyes. Again, if you’re lightening your hair it will be a higher percentage, if you’re darkening it will be a lower percentage. However, professional hair dyes filter out harsh chemicals that can affect the hair and/or skin of people with sensitivities.
Using hair dye on eyebrows may result in the colour not being stable since it’s not the right formulation for that type of hair strand. Even though all hair is made up of the same thing, there are different amounts of layers and density, depending on the type of hair.
Hair Repair
Treating the eyebrows or eyelashes with a daily conditioner will help to repair and strengthen the hair. There are a few options available for lash and brow serums to boost the health of natural lashes. At Dérmica, we retail Adoreyes Lash and Brow serums in-store or online.

LASH LIFT Q & A
Q: What is a LASH LIFT? A: Lash lifts are a gentle form of lash perming that curls the natural lashes along the lash line. It gives the appearance of longer more feminine lashes.
Q: How does it work? A: The first step is to open the bonds in the hair, giving flexibility within the mid shaft where the curl is found. The second step sets the lashes into position and seals the hair shaft. The third step reintroduces moisture back into the lashes.
Q: How long does it last? A: Lash lifts can last up to 12 weeks. This depends on after-care products used and thickness of lashes. Gentle products are recommended on eye area and minimal rubbing. Thick lashes are more resistant and will fall faster than thin lashes.
Q: Will the lash lift damage my lashes? A: It is recommend that clients wait 12 weeks between lash lifts. This allows you hair to recover and regenerate new growth. EyEnvy will condition and hydrate hair follicles for stronger-than-ever lashes.
Q: How do I care for my lashes following the treatment? A: You must avoid water, makeup, and pressure on the lashes for 48hrs. Afterwards you can return to your regular routine and products. It is recommended to sleep on your back in order to avoid bending the lashes overnight. Using a lash comb to lift and operate the lashes will help set.
Q: Are there any allergies I must be aware of? A: It is rare for reactions to occur as the products are kept strictly on the lashes.
who have sensitivity to latex are not recommended to have the procedure, as the adhesive used does contain latex.
If you have ever reacted to artificial lash glue used for strip lashes, you are at risk of having a reaction.
Typical allergic reaction will cause the eyes to swell for up to 72 hours.
