Steps to bleach your eyebrows with hydrogen peroxide
Prior to bleaching your eyebrows using hydrogen peroxide, be sure to:
- Pluck your eyebrows, preferably a day in advance, to minimize skin irritation.
- Ensure all makeup and facial creams are thoroughly removed.
- Cleanse and dry your skin for the procedure.
Steps to bleach your eyebrows with hydrogen peroxide:
- Use a makeup remover pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide. Avoid using cotton, as it can leave lint or fibers on your eyebrows or eyelashes.
- Apply a small amount of hydrogen peroxide to the pad, making sure that it is not dripping or draining.
- Apply the hydrogen peroxide to your eyebrows in small touches, making sure to soak all of the hairs. Be careful to apply the hydrogen peroxide evenly, only to the area you want to lighten.
- Get sun exposure or apply heat from a hair dryer to accelerate the bleaching process.
- Rinse your eyebrows well to remove all of the hydrogen peroxide. The amount of time you need to leave the hydrogen peroxide on will depend on how much you want to lighten your eyebrows and your starting hair color.
- Apply a moisturizing and soothing cream to avoid irritation and repair your skin.

What to do if you can't bleach your eyebrows with hydrogen peroxide
If you are not satisfied with the lightness of your eyebrows, you can repeat the bleaching process until you achieve the desired shade. However, be sure to allow time between applications to avoid irritating your skin.
If you leave the hydrogen peroxide on for too long, your eyebrows may become too light. In this case, you will need to use other methods to darken or dye them.
It is also possible that your eyebrows will not bleach evenly, resulting in an orange or white tone. If this happens, you will also need to dye them again.
Finally, it is important to note that hydrogen peroxide does not work on all hair types. If your eyebrows are not bleached after following the steps above, you may need to consult a professional.
Overall, it is recommended that you go to a professional to change the color of your eyebrows, as they have the experience and expertise to achieve the desired results safely.
