Confessions of an Eyebrow Specialist: Secret Formula for Tinting Eyebrows Revealed

Random Grey Hairs Messing Up Eyebrow Shape?

Purchase :
BEST eyebrow Tint Kit : $31.00 - Professional tint; all the secrets revealed


One of the more coveted "trix of the trade": the formula for tinting eyebrows
A woman's eyebrows begin the trek downhill starting about age 20, sad but true. The thickness declines, the shape grows wildly out of control and soon those dreaded greys sprout.

Recently, a longtime client of mine relayed her woes of making an appointment with one of the famous Eyebrow shapers in Beverly Hills. The appointment took 4 months, the cost ? $100.00 for shape and $75.00 to tint a soft beige-brown ! That was the point I decided my long time secret formula was making its debut on Killer Strands - The BLOG! I could not believe the price had gotten that high, ridiculous utterly ridiculous. It still amazes me that she even went to the woman, because this girl does not have enough eyebrows to know whether the Eyebrow Queen from Bulgaria or the dog had shaped them....they are just too thin.

Tinting your brows at home is really something that should be taught in ghigh school health class. It is a necessity and its simple, although we who invented the art kind of treated it as though we had discovered the cure for cancer! Ridiculous again! Its handy little chore...i hope you all enjoy.

If you have been coloring in your brows with pencil or powder, this is permanent although not permanent like Tattoos. It lasts a month, you can change shades to match different hair colors...when you go lighter in the summer and darker in the fall. Tint your brows once a month at your convenience it fills-in where there are gaps because it dyes the tiny hairs on your face even if the brow hair is gone ( a common problem of the over 35 set).

For $31.00 you receive:
INCLUDING ( the best part) a detailed diagram of how to trim the brows SUCCESSFULLY.

1. 2 tubes of permanent PRO Hair Color, 1 tube will ALWAYS be a "N" Series- Neutral - we will decide the other after we exchange emails
   
2. 1 bottle of peroxide - 20 Volume
3. small brush
4. Q-Tips
5. Diagram & explanation > trick to trimming Brows
   

How peroxides work again:
10 Volume : Deposits color only
20Volume: Deposits Color and lifts 1 shade of color
30Volume: Lifts 2-3 shades of color then deposits
40 Volume: Lifts 3-4 shades of color then deposits


I recommend 20 volume Peroxide

tubes of color :
1 tube of N ( neutral series) -
1 Tube of A (Ash series) or whatever we determine will match your hair.

Directions:
Make yourself up a small kit for eyebrows....
You will be doing this 1-2X a month, once you see how cool it is.
Layout a towel in the bathroom, One paper cup used to mix the color. Mix the color according to the directions ON THE BOX OF COLOR.... every line has a different ratio of color to peroxide.
Most of them are 2 Parts Color to 1 part developer( or peroxide) ...
I will guide you at point of purchase

Mix 1 inch squirt of 10N....with a 1 inch squirt of 10A....mix the two colors together FIRST with Q-Tip, well. Measure what you ball park to be 4 inches of peroxide - if you have a 2:1 mixing ratio.... or you can do this with 1/8 teaspoons if you need to....I eyeball it and it turns out perfect...

I've tried this with the public hair colors - - it simply just does NOT work, so you finally have a method to get those eyebrows - professionally tinted.

Once ordered I will finalize the 2nd tube of color with you and how to mix the exact formula . This Kit will last you 1-2 years and if you change your hair color then you change your tubes of color. I've been doing this to my clients for 16 years - - I am sure that is why they are so loyal.

Click the BUY NOW button - - you will be taken to the Secure and Safe PAY PAL site to conduct the purchase, there is no need to have a PAY PAL account to make the purchase.

Its $31.00 for one kit and I will contact you as soon as the sale has been registered to finalize your custom colors. You are going to LOVE THIS, it rocks!

HAIR CUTS HURT ; Hair Thieves on Cutting Edge

Just had to reprint this story. . . found the perfect hair style for the ladies of Burma > > > >

Next time you think about purchasing Extensions. . .

this may be where they are coming from . . . .By The Associated Press

YANGON, Myanmar — Women in Myanmar not only have to watch out for pickpockets but also hair thieves, a weekly journal reported Sunday.
Long-haired women in crowded areas have fallen victim to surreptitious hair snippers who steal their hair to sell, the Burmese-language 24/7 news journal reported.
"My long hair was cut while I was on my way back from the office. I found out only when I got back home," an unidentified female bus commuter was quoted as saying.
Another woman's hair was cut while she was shopping at a roadside store, the journal said.
Many women in Myanmar — also know as Burma — have waist- or knee-length hair, which they wear in a ponytail, making it easy for thieves to snip off the hair and sell it as extensions.

The report said the price of hair has increased as demand for hair as an export or raw material rises. A viss (3.5 pounds) of hair is worth 400,000 kyats ($320) to 500,000 kyats ($400), it said.

Bull Semen hits Salon Treatments to Tune of $170. a POP!

After a little more thought....it occured to me . . . who was that person that was sitting around and said, .........
"Hey, if we jerk a bull off, maybe it will help the health of hair", then I looked up who this "Hari Salem" cat was and sure enough...it was a dude! No offense - just funny and logical, I always wonder 'where' things come from it is a habit ingrained in me.

Being a woman, being a cosmetic chemist and a woman, my speciality is HAIR CONDITIONERS, that is where all my research was -- is -- and will be in the future. In the 4 years I have been formulating hair conditioners, I study every new ingredient that comes out that can be added to the formula's each and every month & trust me there are way too many. So to come up with Bull Semen is hilarious to me, I thought > 'hey, I never saw that listed in the Cosmetics & Technology Magazine ("New Hair Formula ingredients" ) I read cover to cover every month' - what on earth would possess someone to reach for that jar on the shelf when formulating a hair conditioner?! Of course, a horny guy !

Many people do not understand this... but a Cosmetic Chemist is the one that designs every hair care and every Cosmetic product you have ever touched...not a Dermatologist....not a Celebrity.....and not even a big shot Hair Stylist.
NONE OF THE ABOVE creates that product that eventually goes on your body and/or hair, plus they would have absolutely NO idea how to begin, what to use, or where to start, ....none - zip- zero.
A Cosmetic Chemist does it for them.

Be very very glad they do, to be one you need to learn light years more than what you pick up in acting or Cosmetology schools...and the Dermatologists have a whole profession to cover their butt so they don't have to know what goes "in" products ( they are called a Pharmacist) - so medical doctors are not what you want to look for as afar as their expertise in skin or hair products - I promise you I know more than that damn Dr. Perricone. He uses something that is so wrong in his face lotions/creams and I know its only because he has no idea what each ingredient is...otherwise he would not have 2 of the ingredients he has in them.

Until I took 2 years out of my life and studied Cosmetic chemistry , I had absolutely NO IDEA the art even existed and believe me... it is an Art ! Not only a beautiful art but also a scientific one, something completely new to me at the time.
Not only do we chose the ingredients to put in the product ( which sounds all fun and games) but more importantly we are making sure the product is sufficiently preserved as well as adequately balanced so the pH level is perfect and protecting the effectiveness of the "active" ingredients - - all of this under the umbrella of 'formulating personal care products". When i started and listened to the words everyone was using...I was positive I would never be able to understand what they were all talking about...the terms- the technology- it all sounded like Japanese to me, this was all way over my head back in School and I would never be able to learn it now.

I pushed on though... I started to read a lot about the chemistry of hair products, and that became my passion... making one hair conditioner after another, those and body cremes, {they are similar products in their make-up and chemistry}....I began making custom hair conditioners & cremes for my regular clients.

I knew their hair so well I would make a batch of hair conditioner up for a year at a time, yes it was a bit pricey - but they all claim it was worth every last penny! I never lacked for people to make them for, it was all I could do - to formulate and cut & color hair.
Ever had a homemade Cake or Pie...from scratch....?
How yummy and flavorful they are compared to the Markets?
That is the exact difference in Killer Strands conditioners and the store bought ones - Light years better.
People that are hooked on them will never use a store bought one again!


I feel strongly that a lot can be done for hair with conditioners, especially the "overnight" models which I would like to explain. My theory on hair care is not exactly what the big manufactures want to hear,
oh well!
I just do not agree that everyone needs a daily 'conditioner, shampoos have so much in them anymore they are sufficient..
a problem we see in the Salon a lot is "build-up"

• product build-up
• mineral build-up (chlorine,rust etc. from water)
• conditioner build-up

To elminate that problem I feel the hair care protocol for the average client is this:

Shampoo: Sulfate-free..... and then ONLY IF your hair is dry and tangly -

Detangler: a spray detangler for easy comb thru

Conditioner : Once a week an overnight conditioner - shampoo-rinse - apply deep conditioner - comb thru (mine is called:Thriven) let it dry for 1 hour prior to going to bed - lay towel on pillow to protect. Sleep 8 hours letting yummy ingredients soak in hair and scalp.. Rinse in morning. Depending on condition of hair this can be done once/twice a week....or once - twice a month....even.

"More" is not always better !

P.S.
I have had requests for 'Thriven' my overnight Hair Conditioner -- from some of you . . . I am going to be using Pay Pal to apply BUY NOW buttons directly to this Blog, ( apparently that can be done??!!) some of the unique products I talk about need to be made available I guess.
I have a fantastic line of hair care for curly and frizzy hair that is my own little secret..I will be bringing that to you as well as soon as I figure out how to make HTML buttons!
