Ruby, my eyebrows are starting to get more and more white hairs and I find them surprisingly difficult to tame! Is there a way to keep the white hairs looking neat without either colouring them in or just slicking everything down with clear brow gel?
Ruby says:
My absolute top tip is to get your brows professionally tinted. It saves you so much time daily and covers those stubborn whites seamlessly.
If you prefer a daily routine, grab an angled brush with a soft brow powder to gently fill in the gaps. Then, reach for a clear brow gel – modern formulations are fantastic because they hold the hairs without leaving that awful crispy, crunchy finish. If white hairs are still sticking out, try brushing the gel against the direction of hair growth first to coat every side of the hair, then brush them back into place.
Look for gels packed with nourishing ingredients, too, my Ruby Hammer Mascara & Brow Duo is infused with caffeine, peptides, and vitamins to condition the brow hairs while keeping them perfectly groomed (think of it as self-care rather than another laborious step).
