a few weeks ago i started putting hydrogen peroxide on my face (it helps prevent zits) but i didn't know this stuff bleaches! my hair is light brown, but my eyebrows are TOTALLY blonde. i put pencil in them, but when i go swimming, it washes out. (i swim a lot.) sooooo how can i get them back to their normal color? could i dye them?

Hi, yes you can dye them ... there are eyebrow dyes available either retail or at a wholesale beauty supply store.

OR...make an appointment with an estethician. Maybe you can get your eyelashes done at the same time.

Peroxide bleaches...even a low volume done over and over and over.

Peroxide is what they use in haircolouring. It removes the colour pigment so that new colour pigment can be replaced. The higher the volume, the more colour pigment is removed.

Peroxide is what's used in teeth whitener products as well. Also acne products (benzoyl peroxide).

Before you wipe your face with peroxide after your colour replacement, you might try putting vaseline on your brows..and then wiping it off afterward.

Hope this helps,
