i've got light brown eyebrows, but i recently dyed them dark brown and they turned out black. i got it sort of fixed by a professional, but i really want my old color back, how long do you think it would take for my old color to come back?

Back when having almost no eyebrows was sort of in style, I used to cut mine really short. It took about 3 weeks for them to grow back to normal again, so I'm going to guess from that that eyebrows have a pretty fast replacement cycle. I would just wait it out.

I used to lighten my eyebrows and it didn't last long at all. A couple weeks at most. And it didnt seem like the color was fading much, it just seemed like I would get more and more dark hairs mixed with the light ones. Not a good look by the way

So your natural color fully returned after a few weeks? I'm just afraid that I'm gonna have the darker color in it for months :(

You certainly won't have the dark colour in your eyebrows for months. Three weeks at the most, probably. In the meantime, you can brush a bit of facial powder (or talc) through them to make them look lighter.

Alright, It'll be three weeks since I had it done tomorrow. My eyebrows have gotten lighter, but they are still quite dark. I'm starting to get really scared, does anybody with any experience with this know how long it took for their natural color to fully return? I feel like such an idiot for doing this in the first place and I just want my natural color back, I hate the color I have now.
I'm never experimenting with dye again after this disaster.
