Another Way To Improve Your Eyelashes – Eyelash Dye
Eyelash dye is a really useful product if you have light coloured eyelashes, however, it is not much use if you have dark hair as it simply colours the lashes. If you combine this with eyelash growth products, then you can probably say good-bye to having to use mascara all the time. Although you can of course get this procedure done at the salon, as your eyelashes grow as fast as the hair on your head, you may find this gets expensive. Gratefully, this is one thing you can do yourself at home provided you follow a few crucial guidelines.
Eyelash dye usually comes in brown or black and your kit will contain all you need to complete the process. Do ensure that you read the instructions very carefully and follow them as well! If you don’t you run the risk of making your eyes red and sore. In general, the process will require a similar set of procedures.
In the kit, you will obviously find a tube of dye, an application wand and a stirring stick for the solution, activating solution and a mixing tray. Some kits will include eye shields, if they don’t, pop some Vaseline around the eye as this will help safely wipe away any excess dye that doesn’t go where you intended!
First you will need to squeeze about 2 inches of the dye into the tray. Mix this with just a couple of drops of the activation solution, being careful not to make the mix too runny or it won’t stay on the wand, or indeed on your eyelashes. Stir this well.
Then coat the mascara wand with the mix and apply to the lashes, get as close to the eye-line as you can. You will of course need to apply to the top side of the lashes as well as the underneath. Apply the mix smoothly and evenly, and take care to coat the lashes evenly with the dye.
OK, and then wait for 5 to 10 minutes for the dye to set. It may take longer but you will need to experiment with this. The next step is to wash the mix off gently, taking care not to get the dye in your eyes and then pat dry.
If you intend to use an eyelash growth serum, leave at least 48 hours between using the eyelash dye and the serum as they are applied in a similar way. However, if you do both your lashes will look incredible without mascara!
