I'm a darker stawberry blonde, so my eyebrows are visible as long as I don't wear makeup. My eyelashes, on the other hand...very blonde.

I researched castor oil darkening hair a while back.

This is what I found. flapjack's links discuss castor oil darkening eyebrows and eyelashes.

I get my brows and lashes coloured (whenever I can afford it, should do it more often!).

Thanks ktani! Will try this at some point (probably brows first, kinda scared to get stuff in my eyes....)

Actually, castor oil is perfectly safe on the eyes (I keep hearing that it makes your eyelashes thicker, too, but it never did that for me.)

I feel your pain! especially because I dye my hair black and I have to pencil in my eyebrows lol, worth it though :D I might give castor oil a try though, Ktani you're an angel :)

I hope this make you feel better: I have always found blonde lashes really intriguing and beautiful! :flower:

Yeah, I find it funny if I'm somewhere and they do waxing if I want my eyebrows waxed. You can't see my eyebrows so why on earth would I wax them? :)

It doesn't bother me that much, acutally. I like the fact that you can't see my leg hairs. I only have to shave when I can't stand myself anymore. :p

Thanks arctic! I feel better. And the shaving thing is a plus, I go about 2-3 weeks on my legs before I feel the need to shave.

It's no fun when my eyebrows dissapear, but having blond eyelashes is pretty cool I think :eek: I don't shave often either, it's so nice to be able to get away with it :D

Me too! I think red or blonde lashes/brows are gorgeous!

My brows and lashes are DARK, especially considering I'm a blonde (I'm dark blonde though).
