Purple Eyebrows!

[ 21 April 2008 ]

On Friday I woke up, quickly posted on iCiNG & raced out the door to go to Wildilocks, my hairdresser.

There were three things on the agenda.

1) I needed to have my extensions tightened. (After a couple of months, as your hair grows, the extensions go with them, so they end up sitting quite low down the strands of hair.)
2) I wanted to see whether I had enough hair at the back of my head to get extensions back there too. (When I first had my hair done, I only had extensions on the sides, because my hair was so short. My hair was cut in an extreme a-line so it looked okay, but I wanted a full head of hair!)
3) I planned on having my eyebrows bleached & dyed purple.

Eep!

I was officially inspired by the fabulous Zoetica Ebb (scroll down for a close-up — see also 1, 2, 3 & 4!), whose eyebrow-&-hair-matching prowess is infamous! She appears to have practically no eyebrows, which makes for great & diverse experiments with a coloured pencil, but, well, I do have eyebrows — dark ones. I also happen to like my eyebrows quite a lot, so instead of shaving them off (the horror!), I decided that a bit o’ colouring was exactly what they needed.

Happily, getting my extensions tightened & a whole lot of new ones added went wonderfully & without incident. I now have a full mane — hear me roar! It looks fantastic & Kat cut them with a razor, so my hair looks really natural & sits beautifully. So HAPPY!

Then it was time to do the ‘brows. Dun dun dun dunnnnn. I was actually thinking about telling them to just forget it, because I started to get The Fear, but then I decided that even if it looked terrible, it was only a temporary change (it should last a couple of weeks), & that I was prepared to sacrifice my eyebrows to the colouring gods in the name of a story!

Kat had me recline in a chair with a towel under my neck (for extra comfort!), swept some conditioner above my brow-line & just below, & then put some cotton wool strips over my eyes to keep them closed & protected. She brushed some lightener over my eyebrows, put an insulation strip over the top, & left me to it. I lay there for a while with my iPod on, relaxed but very aware of what was going on…

She checked on me regularly, & when she saw that the colour had come down quite well, she removed the first lot of lightener & added another. She didn’t leave it on for very long, & rinsed it off by spraying water on pieces of cotton wool & sweeping it across my eyebrows.

When I sat up to look in the mirror I freaked out. It was bad. I looked like death. See, I’m not kidding…

Argh!

Not a good look, I tell you!

After taking that picture, I sat back down in the chair, trying not to look at myself in the mirror too much. It scared me. I got back into position & she applied the Special Effects concoction (she had mixed up some Wildflower, Blue Velvet & Fishbowl, the same combination as I have in my hair). We let it sit for about 20 minutes & then she rinsed it off.

As I was about to sit up to look in the mirror, Kat said, “You’ll like me better tomorrow, when it’s not so strong!” Hair dye stains the skin you see, so my eyebrows looked pretty intense. Actually, that’s a bit of an understatement. They looked very intense.

At first I felt like this…

Groucho Marx
(Groucho Marx)

& as I kept staring, I started to feel like this…

Purple Pieman
(Purple Pieman)

I walked out of the salon feeling like a bit of a freak, & as soon as I got home I grabbed my cleanser, squirted some on a cotton pad & gave my eyebrows a good scrub. Quite a bit of the colour on the skin came off, which was awesome, & when my boyfriend came home, he told me it looked great!

The result…

Ooh la la!

Ooh la la!

Purple-tastic! Ah! I love it!

Kat did an awesome job, she was absolutely perfect. She was totally “safety first!” which eased my fears a lot — I like my eyes & getting bleach in them would be a bit of a bummer, to say the least. I was also her only client at the time, which meant she could attend to me immediately if there were any problems. I think Wildilocks are now officially offering this service to anyone who’s game, so if you have a shock of neon hair & you’d like eyebrows to match, give them a tinkle!

They’re still a bit stronger than I am used to, but honestly, I don’t think that’s obvious to anyone but me. (I spend a lot of time examining myself up close in a mirror!) Plus, it’s easy to play them down a bit by just wearing a bit more eye make-up than usual. It has taken me a little while to adapt, but it’s the same for any kind of cosmetic change — it always takes a while for your mind to catch up with your reflection.

So, hello! I have purple eyebrows! Whee! I’m so happy with them — I look like a natural purplehead! Do you like ‘em?

    I’m surprised how natural it looks, like you might’ve been born with bright purple hair!
    Very nice.

    <3 Natalie · Apr 21, 12:06 AM · #

  3. Gahhh! I love, love, LOVE Zoetica, and I’m not at all surprised that you follow her, too!

    I’m glad your eyebrows worked out so well! They make your hair look even more fabulous!

    <3 Alice · Apr 21, 12:07 AM · #

  4. Claire — That was the aim, hee! Mwah!

    Natalie — Ahh, thank you!!

    Alice — Yeah, I’ve been reading her journal for years (since I was at school, which goes back to at least 2000!) & have always admired her hair & clothes & whatnot!

    <3 Gala · Apr 21, 12:09 AM · #

  5. That first picture really amuses me lol. (very cute expression) XD

    but the extensions and brows look supertastically GORGEOUS! I love the color~ <3

    <3 Achro · Apr 21, 12:09 AM · #

  6. Pfftt! They are awesome! No groucho! I used to color my eyebrows in purple with purple eyeliner when I had fricken black hair @_@! So looking back yours look a lot more natural! And they match your hair color to a teeee!

    <3 d · Apr 21, 12:13 AM · #

  7. Gala! Whoot! Fabulous eyebrows! You know who has some fantastic eyebrow art going on? Amanda from the Dresden Dolls! wendylynchphotography.com/dres…

    <3 Adrienne · Apr 21, 12:25 AM · #

  8. Ooooh – very mermaid! I like how your hair looks kinda wavy – very naturelle.

    And you don’t seem to be wearing a top, young lady! Wrap up, it’s April.

  9. OMG, that SO AWESOME. You really look like an elf now, with matching hair color…(my fantasy fanatism is too big, sorry! xD)! I love it :D, you made an excellent choice ;) Plus purple is my favourite colour ever!!

    <3 fran · Apr 21, 12:28 AM · #

  10. I never would’ve thought of this…but it totally works. Wowzers!

    <3 Gee · Apr 21, 12:29 AM · #

  11. they look awesome!
    i’m not quite as daring as you, but i did discover that dying your eyebrows the same color as your hair (i dye my hair from black to brown) makes your whole face seem brighter
    i love it! you should totally keep doing it

    <3 Karizma · Apr 21, 12:35 AM · #

  12. woman, they are so great. you know why? because as freaky as it sounds they almost look natural… i first looked at your photo in flickr yesterday and went ooh gala looks pretty today… as usual.. but then a closer look and bam! new eyebrows!

    <3 tiny donna · Apr 21, 12:37 AM · #

  13. oh yes I do! indeed.

    <3 Miss Dot · Apr 21, 12:39 AM · #

  14. Wow, they look awesome – they really do look natural! Love!

    <3 Laura · Apr 21, 12:42 AM · #

  15. Oh my!! :D Absolutely gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!

    <3 Renee · Apr 21, 12:43 AM · #

  16. Oh dear that looks amazing!! you make me want to go and dye my hair and eyebrows right now, shamefully I have to study u_u, and well my mother would just kill me xD

    <3 Jav · Apr 21, 01:07 AM · #

  17. i’m so glad you remembered that if you didn’t like it it’s only temporary! that is my #1 philosophy when it come to my hair…what does hair do? it grows back :D

    <3 emily · Apr 21, 01:07 AM · #

  18. Brilliant, you look amazing Gala! Well done! xxx

    <3 Carly · Apr 21, 01:13 AM · #

  19. Good on you for pushing the limits of style and going all out and experimenting :) we lack some of that in Australia, hopefully you will inspire others to go out and do what they dream of doing, even to their eyebrows

    <3 Rachel · Apr 21, 01:15 AM · #

  20. your eyebrows look fantastic!!

    <3 jolene · Apr 21, 01:27 AM · #

  21. I’m very impressed all around! (With your bravery, Kat, Zoetica, etc, but especially with how good it looks!)

    <3 Adriana · Apr 21, 01:42 AM · #

  22. Psssttt! I used to use red eyeshadow on my eyebrows when my hair was bright red. It worked fine and my eyebrows are black.

    But it looks great! :)

    <3 Brandy · Apr 21, 01:56 AM · #

  23. What a cool idea :) It looks great! Matches perfectly with your hair and looks awesome.

    <3 mica · Apr 21, 01:57 AM · #

  24. You know, I was really skeptical when you said on Twitter that you were going to do this – but it looks amazing!

    I also have to ask you what you’re using on the inner corners of your eyes. I’ve been looking for something that shade forever! Brand + hue, if you please!

    xoxo.

    <3 Miss Elle · Apr 21, 02:02 AM · #

  25. How strange – it might be because I read iCiNG all the time, but your hair (and eyebrows! yum!) look absolutely positively incredibly natural. Okay, maybe not that natural, but sometimes I see dye jobs and it looks exactly like what it is – a dye job on a girl who’s trying too hard (not to diss anyone with crazy colored hair, seeing as I had purple/turquoise/green hair myself not too long ago). Maybe it’s Wildilocks’ skill, but it’s pretty darn cool how you have purple hair and look totally YOU and not like you’re trying to be you.

    If that made any sense. But it makes for a really nice goal – being totally oneself in one’s own skin is really beautiful (and of course trying to get there is also admirable, I hope, since I’m at that stage myself :D).

    But in short, I like your style, Gala.

    <3 sora (again) · Apr 21, 02:21 AM · #

  26. Hah! I love your eyebrows lots and lots! [Oh, and the picture of Groucho Marx reminds me of a singer called Josh Weller]

    <3 Lauren · Apr 21, 02:33 AM · #

  27. Oh my goodness, Gala, WOW! You look magical, there’s no other word for it, and your brows are just perfect. Claire’s right- you look as if that’s your natural hair colour.

    <3 Alice · Apr 21, 02:40 AM · #

  28. I’ve always been really happy with who I am and always loved having darkish skin, but I’ve never wanted to be someone else as much as I want to be you right now.

    <3 alicia · Apr 21, 02:41 AM · #

  29. looks awesome! my eyebrows are a little groucho on their own, and i wouldnt dare attempt that! plus, my hairs brown so it’d look a lil funny… lol

    <3 karl exceed · Apr 21, 02:44 AM · #

  30. they’re so lovely & bright!

    <3 olivia · Apr 21, 02:47 AM · #

  31. It works!! It’s bright but subtle at the same time – because it matches your hair it looks really good. I’l confess to being worried when I saw that first picture of you with the lack of eyebrows!

    <3 Bouncing Evil Ginner · Apr 21, 03:10 AM · #

  32. Eeee! I love it! My hair is purple as well right now – a manky, sad lilac kind of purple, as I’m too poor a student to afford to pay shipping on SFX so I just use Manic Panic – and I’ve vaguely considered doing this. Unfortunately, my eyebrows are weird (thick in some places, sparse in others, with no rhyme nor reason) so it wouldn’t work.

    On you, though, it’s brilliant!

    <3 dragonflyeyes · Apr 21, 03:15 AM · #

  33. I love it and demand that it become part of your beauty routine.

    Also, does this mean you will be posting more outfits to show off your new look? I hope so!

    <3 Annie · Apr 21, 03:32 AM · #

  34. adorable!

    <3 Stella Mayfair · Apr 21, 03:43 AM · #

  35. Wow! You look amazing! I would never have thought of doing that. I agree that it actually looks quite natural somehow (who would have thought that purple eyebrows would have that effect?). You look like you were born with purple hair (in some kind of awesome alternate universe in which such things are possible) and you’ve just stopped by our brown-eyebrowed universe to spread your colourful breed of awesomeness.

    <3 daphne · Apr 21, 03:44 AM · #

    Me likes a lot.

    Snaps for not bailing at the freak-out stage, coz it payed off!

  37. i love the pic with the white eyebrows! hilarious!

    the blue eyebrows look excellent!

    i too have been to wildilocks after reading your first article on the hair extensions. they are the greatest!! once you go wildilocks you never go back!

    <3 ninjarox · Apr 21, 04:04 AM · #

  38. Hot stuff lady! Is there anything you can’t ROCK?

    I know the colorless eyebrow freak out! Have done that many times myself EEK freaky stuff

    <3 sushi zume · Apr 21, 04:07 AM · #

  39. Soooo pretty (and yes natural)! Zoetica is a style-star if you ask me, even though I absolutely don’t dress like her.

    And the colorless eyebrows shoot just made me laugh: the face you’re making! ^

    <3 Theremina · Apr 21, 04:14 AM · #

  40. Fan-fan-fabuloutastic! Whooooooooooa! At first my thoughts were “eeh bordeline Camden Market Goth” but WHOA it turned out fantastically. Especially since you’ve got great shaped eyebrows to start with & whoa & ah!
    (Oh & do say hi and hair from Bernard-o of Perth fame to any expat Perthites, especially Cassie next time you see her)

    <3 nana · Apr 21, 04:24 AM · #

  41. Wow! They look fantastic! Can I make a special request to see you with purple eyelashes too? Purple mascara of course…

    <3 Vicki · Apr 21, 04:50 AM · #

  42. Woah cool, I have never seen fun coloured eyebrows before, and if anyone were gonna pull them off, it would be you without a doubt

    <3 Katrina · Apr 21, 05:00 AM · #

  43. I’m surprised at how very pretty they look! And, as somebody pointed out above, the whole effect is quite natural—as though you’d been born with purple hair. I love it!

    <3 Jo · Apr 21, 05:23 AM · #

  44. you look like an elfin princess, very pretty!
    also, do wildlocks use ethical hair? i’d hate to think a poor girl had to sell her hair for food or be forced to cut it

  59. WOW! doing something like dying eyebrows seems so extreme to me. BUT, they look amazing. i’m sitting my astronomy class now and i just told everyone around me to look at the final picture and they LOVED it.

  61. They look amazing! Truly they do.

    <3 Jami · Apr 21, 12:23 PM · #

  62. Hmmm…do you know how often you’d need to have them re-done? It seems like eyebrow hairs’d fall out rather quickly…but if I had an good excuse to go to a salon more than usual, I’d definitely take it!

    <3 Alice · Apr 21, 01:05 PM · #

  63. Gala, you look beautiful as always! Your hair looks fabulous! Question: What/wear did you find the pretty sheen-ness for your inner eyes?

    <3 tiphanie · Apr 21, 01:11 PM · #

  64. You pull this off quite well. If I did something like this, I would look like I belong in a circus. I am going to get brave (for me) pretty quick and get my hair done in a very nice auburn color.

    Awesome look for you :)Fabulous Darling!!

  67. I just took a peek at those Zoetica Ebb pics, and they are super as well. Also very natural – maybe it IS the eyebrows, hehe. Again, both of you look great!

    <3 sora (again) · Apr 21, 01:51 PM · #

  68. hahha, whats silly is that my eyebrows look like your do in the first pic naturally!

    But they look lovely dyed the same colour as your hair (which also looks fabulous :P)

    <3 Moth · Apr 21, 02:06 PM · #

  69. You look really great, Gala, but please be extremely careful next time you go! Having bleach that close to your eyes cannot be safe. I’m glad you had Kat’s full attention and it turned out well… but still: bleach+eyes=very scary indeed.
    Everyone who said this was right: you look magical! On the one hand like a natural purple-head, on the other hand like an elf princess.
    And purple is my favorite color too.

    <3 Shifra · Apr 21, 02:07 PM · #

  70. I think it’s funny and cute that you’re comfortable having purple hair in the first place, but that your new eyebrows made you feel like a “freak.” It’s comforting in a way, too… it goes to show that even the people who appear to have Supreme Confidence still have their insecurities. I am pro-purple eyebrows, by the way! You look like an anime character come to life!

    <3 Becca · Apr 21, 02:09 PM · #

  71. I think the eyebrows are the best, you are absolutely gorgeous! This is coming from a 51 year old mother of two who would love it if my 15 year old daughter was as confident to try new things. Maybe that comes with age, I hope so. You look beautiful.

  78. They look great! :D They match your hair so perfectly!

    I have some purple in my hair, so I decided to bleach & dye my eyebrows purple a few months ago.
    My eyebrows were nice and purple for a few days but then they faded horribly.
    I ended up penciling my eyebrows in for a while until they grew out to my natural color.

    <3 Taylor · Apr 21, 05:24 PM · #

  79. I always love your look, Gala, but you look particularly stunning with this hair color and style… I am always amazed by how striking your eyes are, and this enhances it. I just wish my job would permit me to dye my hair fabulous colors! Lovely job!

  85. wow wow wow~ eyebrows that match your hair & look simply amazing next to your eyes! It completes your look~ you now resemble a jewel,or some exotic bird.

    If you don’t mind I may take the iniative to work through the fear and dye my eyebrows cupcake pink to match my hair;if the worst happens I shall cover them with my fringe!

    <3 vannessa · Apr 21, 09:56 PM · #

  89. The final result is so beautiful! I wish there was a Wildlocks in the US!

    I’ve actually considered dying my eyebrows either blonde or pink (since both colors are in my hair), but blonde eyebrows don’t always look so good (you would know from this experience!) and pink might be too much going on, so I like to keep mine my natural dark brown.

    Your hair is purple? Maybe it’s my monitor, but I thought it was blue.

    <3 Tera · Apr 21, 10:04 PM · #

  90. the majority of the time i dislike unnaturally colored hair. but you are an exception.
    when i read that you colored your brows purple my first thought was “oh no!” but i should have known that you’d be able to pull it off. you look absolutely stunning. very francesca lia block.

    <3 erin lynne · Apr 21, 10:21 PM · #

  91. Lol at that Groucho picture! I didn’t think purple eyebrows could work,but somehow Gala you manage to pull it off.They look fabulous.And you are making me think about dying my hair again.

    <3 Mandy · Apr 21, 11:03 PM · #

  92. she is fabulous!
    almost as fabulous as you of course.
    i didnt think you could be any more sheek but the eyebrows are so ten years from now i love it!

    did anyone else see how her lipstick matches her nails?
    so peachykeen

  100. Oh WOW! That is totally awesome!

    Also, you remind me of the Mona Lisa in the photo with the lightened eyebrows – that is, if she had blue hair and was pulling a wacky face. It’s the “lack” of eyebrows that makes ya look like her!

    Last but not least, that Zoetica chick is GORGEOUS and what great style! Love it!

  105. The eyebrows look gorgeous Gala!
    I love how you’ve done your eyes as well, did you use an eye pencil or something else to get that effect? I’ve been trying to find ways of using eyeliner that wont make me look like I’ve just woken up, any tips? (:

  106. I love how you did yellow-ish eye makeup as purple is its contrasting colour.

  107. ps you can totally cover that up with mascara if you need to. but i don’t know why you would since your hair is blue you might as well wholy commit :D

  109. Man, when I looked at those purple eyebrows I was so surprised my mouth dropped! What I saw in my head was totally different from what that lovely purpleness!!! This is sooo amazing Gala, cause you look fabulous!!! (As you can see I used an ! point at the end of each sentence)

    Lots of kisses,

  113. Your eyebrows look so fabulous!
    I reckon it would look stunning if you dyed them to match the blue of your eyes.

    <3 Lisa May · Apr 24, 01:15 AM · #

  114. i dyed my brows the same color as my hair(blue) days after i saw this.
    everyone was giving me weird looks at school.
    but i feel so proud….the gala made me do it.

    <3 curves · Apr 25, 10:34 AM · #

  115. aaaaaawwwww you look GREAT!!!

    I’ve always wanted purple hair, but with my black eyebrows I’m 100% sure I would look terrible.

    My only doubt is how will you do from now on? dye them regularly? ***

    <3 diorama · Apr 25, 11:44 AM · #

  116. I used to do this when I coloured my hair unnatural shades.

    I would bleach my eyebrows with Jolene facial hair bleach, and use my unnatural dye on them with a Q-tip.

    I also found coloured mascaras so my lashes could coordinate as well. This gets you SHITLOADS of compliments :)

  117. Your hair is immaculate. Is your hair naturally dark? I dyed mine red a month ago, but I’m not feeling like myself anymore, so I’m switching back to dark hair. Later I will venture to a rich pink… Eyebrows are tricky to dye… congrats!

  118. Wow Gala, they look so great! And your eyes are totally stunning (I mean that in the least creepy way possible XD).

    <3 Helen · Jun 22, 04:03 PM · #

  119. Awsome ! So bright and in the same time, seeming almost natural. Love that mermaidy colour !

  120. Hello there. I love gold! And I have decided I want my hair to be gold! I mean 24k, not fair maiden gold. I found this stuff in a cursory search on google www.cofbath.com/Vincents. But to suit my beggar’s purse a little better- since I’m in this for a long haul- i’d like to find something with more staying power, say, a dye… or, at least, wholesale quantities (and prices) of gold hair paint! Yesyesyes.
