Can I dye my eyebrow hair 3 months after microblading to darken the hair?

pennylane95Jan 21, 2017
got my eyebrows microbladded about 3 months ago. The surface appears healed and I've done it several times with no issues. My eyebrow hair is much lighter than the dye, I have black hair but I am naturally blond. I was wondering if I am able to dye my eyebrow hair with eyebrow dye without ruining the microbladding. Thanks!

Hello DeafitB5, You can microblade over a brow transplant. You do need to wait a minimum of 6-9 months. If there is scarring on the brows some areas may take better then others. The scarred areas may not be as defined. Hope this helps!

Thank you for your question. Retinol can help fade the appearance of the tattoo, you should also ask your physician about tattoo removal if all else fails.

It is clear that this question relates to the previous post. As I said there, the crusting that you had on your eyebrow indicates that damage has been done to the eyebrow root. When this happens, eyebrow hairs often do not regrow.

Hello and thank you for your question. It is typical for color to change in the following few weeks after microbladding. I suggest waiting 4-6 weeks after your initial treatment, you will likely need touch up after that.
