RefectoCil Blonde Brow

1. Cleanse the eyebrows thoroughly with an eye make-up remover so they are clean, oil-free, and dry.
2. Mix approximately 3/4 inch of paste with 20–25 drops of Oxidant 3% cream for at least two minutes until creamy.
3. Apply the mixture to the eyebrows.
4. Leave on for 5 minutes for one shade lighter, 12 minutes for two shades lighter, or 20 minutes for three shades lighter.
5. Remove the bleaching paste with an eye make-up remover.

• Under-mixing the paste and oxidant: an uneven mix leads to patchy lightening. Mix for the full two minutes until fully creamy.
• Guessing at processing time instead of timing it precisely: leads to over- or under-lightening relative to the client's goal. Use a timer matched to the desired shade change.
• Applying to brows that still have oil or makeup residue: reduces how evenly the bleach lifts colour. Fully cleanse and dry the brow area first.
• Leaving the paste on well past 20 minutes chasing a stronger effect: risks excessive lightening or skin irritation. Stay within the documented timing tiers.
• Skipping a patch test on a new client: bleaching formulas carry more sensitivity risk than standard tints. Patch test before a first application.

Ingredients & Cautions

Mineral Oil, Ammonium Persulfate, Potassium Persulfate, Sodium Silicate, Silica, Carbomer, Sodium Cetearyl Sulfate, Methylcellulose, EDTA, Magnesium Carbonate.

Caution: Contains persulfates, which can be more likely to cause skin sensitivity than standard tint formulas; patch testing before use is recommended, and contact with the eyes should be avoided.

Why did the same 12-minute application lighten one client's brows more than another's?

Natural hair thickness, colour depth, and porosity all affect how quickly the bleach lifts pigment, so identical timing can produce different results across clients. Checking progress partway through with a damp cotton pad helps catch this before over-processing.

Can Blonde Brow be used on lashes as well as brows?

It's formulated and directed for brow use, and the eye area sensitivity around lash lines makes it unsuitable to assume the same timing or handling would apply safely there.

How soon after bleaching can I tint the brows into a lighter shade?

Many artists move directly into a lighter tint shade once the bleach is fully removed and the skin looks calm, but if there's any visible redness or sensitivity, it's safer to wait for the skin to settle before applying another chemical product.

Why does the result look brassy or yellow instead of a clean light tone?

This is a common outcome of lightening naturally warm-toned or coarse hair, since bleach doesn't neutralize underlying warmth on its own. Following up with a cool-toned or ash tint afterward can help correct the tone.

Is it normal for a client's brows to feel slightly tender after a 20-minute application?

Mild, brief sensitivity can occur with longer processing times given the persulfate content, but anything beyond mild, short-lived tenderness should be treated as a sign to shorten processing time on that client in future and to confirm their patch test history.
