I never forget a face, but in your case I’ll be glad to make an exception. -Groucho Marx
Okay, I’m going into very unknown territory here. My eyebrows were so not-red as compared to my newly-henna’d hair that, well, I henna’s my eyebrows.
This is with the paste on, obviously.
My logic went something like this:
- I’m bored.
- My grandma tatooed her eyebrows… what’s so different about using henna on ‘em?
- Facial skin is too thin and oily to stain very well. So, my eyebrow skin shouldn’t be orange for too long. I hope.
- I’m bored.
So I took out my last cone of slimy-ass mehndi henna that I used on my hand the night before. (I had already decided to throw the batch out because, while the staining power was fine, it was a nearly unworkable texture and bled like hell overnight.) I coned in each of my eyebrows and cleaned them up around the edges with Q-tips. Then I put my hair back with a band to keep it from sticking to my eyebrows and took a photo for you all to giggle at. I’m gonna pray for four hours that this wasn’t a really, really bad idea, then wash it out and take another picture for y’all.
Wish me luck!

OMG!! You are BRAVE!! I love it.
Can’t wait to see how your brows come out!
I’d tell ya to “put the cone down and back away slowly” but I can see it’s way too late for that!
Don’t stop with the pics!
i dunno, i kinda like it. is it sticky? do you get things stuck to your eyebrows? hahaha, i’m just kidding! along with your hair it looks good. nice color!
neat!
So a Henna Tribe chica told me that they do this regularly at their salon — lol, guess I wasn’t being so brave after all.
The total effect is more like a long-lasting brow pencil. And Megan, it was totally sticky, but only for about twenty minutes! Then it was just like having dried mud on my face. Quite fun, actually.
