I've decided that I wanted my hair dyed to a dark brown with reddish tones in it. However it didn't come out like the girl on the box's did so I'm really upset. My hair on top is super dark red. It's so unbelievable because I have really fair skin. That's my first upsetting problem which I can't do anything about it.

But the real problem is my eyebrows. I have naturally light eyebrows like a dark blonde or light brown. My aunt thought I should dye them too since my hair was going to be so dark and my skin is so light. I thought the hair dye was like the girl on the box (dark brown) so I let her and plus I think she left it on there a little bit too long. After the crying was done, my eyebrows are red. A dark kind of red. I look so fake and clownish. I have school in 4 days and I'm feeling so depressed. Is there anything out there I can do to my eyebrows that won't turn them orange or pink because I want my natural light brown ones back. Afraid to use perioxde/bleach in case they turn orange. They're so dark and red! Please help me.

 

here are my pics:

well i think the red goes very well with your face and eyes and also your eyebrows doesnt cause any problem , well the good news is , your striking red colour will fade in few washs in one wash u'll see the difference so is your eyebrows which also the good news about them they grow quite fast ,if you hate them this much you can put some meduim ash blonde on them but be sure not to leave it till 2 long and check the colour till it gets all the reddish tones out then if they r 2 light you can put some light brown on them it will tone them but i believe it's 2 much to be done for eyebrows i dont know how healthy is that believe me i had worse exprience with my eyebrows colour and eventually after a week all be left from it just a hint of the disaster which in your case i dont think it's bad at all and the colour look really pretty on u

Find a beauty therapist and ask them to tint your eyebrows brown, itll take about a minute (any longer and they'll turn out black). They dont look bad from your photos though.

Eyebrows are easy peasy. Just swipe over them with your mascara wand and you're good. Use waterproof if you sweat a lot.

The hair on your head hardly looks red at all! It def. looks dark brown tho, and ur eyebrows look good actually, but whtever, if all else fails, try a medium brown eyebrow pencil.

Personally I think your hair looks great! You should keep it that way. You may not like it because it is not something your used to and I know because I have been through that many times. Give it a little time and eventually you will like it.
