Become high fashion? Bleach your eyebrows. Well, before you reach for the peroxide, you may want to think twice.
Bleaching your eyebrows can be a risky endeavor. For starters, it’s important to follow the instructions on the box to the letter. If you leave the bleach on for too long, you may end up with eyebrows that are almost non-existent. Where in you could have just shaved them off for the same look with no chemicals. On the other hand, if you don’t leave it on long enough, you may end up with patchy, uneven brows that resemble a splotchy battlefield.
But the real danger of bleaching your eyebrows is the possibility of chemical burns. Yes,you can be scarred and burned. The same substance that lightens your hair can also burn your skin if not used properly. Who hasn’t had a hair dye disaster at some point in their life? Imagine that, but on your face. Ouch. Oh and vanity aside if it gets into your eye you could be permanently blinded.
But the potential for chemical burns isn’t the only danger. Bleaching your eyebrows can also lead to dry, brittle hair and even hair loss. So before you go reaching for that bleach, consider the potential consequences.
In conclusion, while bleaching your eyebrows may seem like a quick fix for that Instagram model turned high fashion model, it’s not worth the risk if done without a professional. Save yourself the potential pain and embarrassment, and stick to brow pencils and gels. Your brows (and skin) will thank you.
