LIGHTENING THE EYEBROWS
Lightening eyebrows involves discoloring the dark look of the eyebrows. It is not usually required for blonde or light red eyebrows.
It involves applying bleach over the eyebrows, and is best done by a professional because of the application of chemicals near the eyes. If there is irritation on skin, it must be discontinued. However, done carefully, any individual person can also apply and successfully do it.
COLORING EYEBROWS
If the eyebrows are too light colored, hair color or dye may be applied to the eyebrows, to give a contrast look to the face. Color should be carefully selected that will give the look best for the person.
Eyebrow pencils can also be used as a safe method to achieve the same. Powders are available, that are applied with brush. After application of the powder, it is set with a clear brow gel. Coloring gels are also available, that can be applied to color, as well as to lighten brows too.

Wax is applied on the brow-hair to be removed, and then pulled off with a strip. After waxing, tweezers are used to remove the hair missed by the waxing process, and fine-tune the eyebrow shape.
Threading eyebrows
Threading uses a twisted strand of cotton thread. The thread is pulled along the skin, where the stray hairs exist. A single pass can pull many hairs up from its roots. This technique is safe and quick, uses no chemicals, and does not leave any irritation on the skin.
Electrolysis
Electrolysis uses a special electrode that gives a little electrical shock to the hair follicle. It kills the follicle and removes the unwanted hair.
Laser Hair Removal
Hair removal by laser is a new way to remove unwanted hair, but for eyebrows (as eyes are close), it must be done by a well qualified and experienced person. It is however considered safe to treat, between and above the eyebrows. Do a full research before opting for laser eyebrow hair removal.
