I have like dark brown hair and brown eyes, and I really want to go blonde, I think it's such a pretty hair color... i mean brown's okay, but so you know, plain, well to me it is. Anyway, any suggestions for the dark brown eyebrows? Like trying to get a tan to cover it up or something? ------------- Jessica |

| Sounds like it might be a little too severe to go blonde. Of course there are hundreds of different shades of blonde. It is always suggested to stay within 2 shades of your natural color - otherwise the upkeep is tremendous. How about some caramel highlights instead? |

| you can tint your eyebrows...You never want them to be more then two shades darker then your hair color, or it looks way unnatural. id say go with the highlights as well. |

Dark eyebrows with blonde hair aren't that big a deal, though. A lot of people have them, even big celebs, so I don't think it'll be much of an issue. *shrugs* Besides, dark roots are very easy to show up on bleached hair, anyway, so people are gonna know it's not your real hair. When you make that drastic a change, it's not about looking natural, it's about making a statement. ------------- More awesome than a manatee! |

Yeah, I'll do it. I hope it looks good, I mean, some people actually make their eyebrows thinner, which I'm gonna do, but not too thin, or it'll look ugly. Plus get a little bit of a tan to make it look good. ------------- Jessica |

i disagree...I think that very dark eyebrows with dark hair looks horrendous-and trust me, you will agree also when you dye your hair! itll start to look okay once your roots start to grow in, because it will even it out...but until then, it wont look good. You can dye your hair blonde, and add some lowlights close to the shade of your brows to blend it subtly, but the upkeep is going to be awful. very very few people can pull the drastic color difference off. yes, some blonde hair is to make a statement, but most of the time people are using it to "enhance their appearance" - leaving your brows dark will do anything BUT that. like I said, you dont want your brows more then 2 - 3 shades darker then your hair color. so if your goin blonde, your going to want them a dark blonde or light brown....medium brown at the darkest. ------------- Sara |

I used to dye my eyebrows at this one salon in Tulsa. They were okay, but I didn't really like the color -- it was like a orangey, brownish color, so I let my eyebrows grow back in. Thinning them out is okay along with a tan. That SHOULD look good in my opinion. It won't look bad at all. I see a whole lot of girls at my school with dark eyebrows and blonde hair, it doesn't look bad on them at all. It actually looks very good. But like I said, they did the "thinning" to their eyebrows, not the bushy type like I kind of used to have. ------------- Jessica |

My friends hair is orginally brown and she dyed it blonde and she looked really good with that hair color. She has brown eyes as well and her eyebrows were not a problem for her. So I think you can do that too. -Feather |

i would reccomend you go for a more ashy dark blonde , rather than anything really light or'golden' as t will probably look brassy. so long as the colour job is really good your eyebrows will make little difference ------------- i can't take it no more so i'm going on a shopping spree ....H.A.R.M.A.R superstar.... |

Yeah I was thinking that it would bother me either... my eyebrows are actually no problem, they're just dark brown. I'm starting to see it on people everywhere actually. No biggie at all! Thanks. : ) ------------- Jessica |
