Review on ๐ŸŒŸ RefectoCil Cream Hair Dye (Natural Brown): Achieve Stunning Brown Tones Effortlessly by Tina Stamey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best option before microblading!

At the time of writing this review I am tinting my eyebrows with this wonderful product! I really love this stuff! I'm blonde, but my brows never understood when my hair got darker, so I have loads of invisible hairs on my brows that make them look naturally weak. Let's face it, doing brows every morning is a pain, but for many of us it's as important as "what would you take to a desert island?" my old answer: brow pencil ๐Ÿ˜‚ I tint my brows every day, even if I don't do anything else but I started seeing more and more of my brow hairs coming off my brow pencil which was a problem as my brows need all the hair they can get. So I looked at all my options, like Wunderbrow (which only lasts a few days) or Microblading (even if someone has multiple face tattoos? Just oh, and again it's only semi-permanent). Then I came across RefectoCil. Thank you Austria for this wonderful product! The patch on my skin (giving a completely finished look) lasts 2-3 days, but to be honest, without any further makeup I look completely crazy at least. However, the color stays on the hair for about 3 weeks and you need minimal, if any, brow care in the morning! small container for makeup/lip gloss samples) until it becomes clumpy and gel-like. In all the time I've been using it, my brows have always gotten the same just by observing it, so it's nice that there doesn't have to be an exact formula to get the same results. However, after my first application I learned to wait about 15-20 minutes after mixing before applying as it takes some time for Refectocil and Peroxide to fully bond. Natural brown is the color of milk chocolate when just stirred, and I know it's done when it's more like dark chocolate. It will still work instantly, but you'll need to leave it longer on the brow you applied it to (assuming you're doing one brow at a time). I use the tools in the picture to draw. First, focus the mascara wand on the inner, thicker part of the brow to make sure the hairs are completely covered. I then use the brow brush to fully cover the brow and get skinners on the end of the brow. While I used lotions and stuff around my brows in case the tint got onto my skin, I found it much easier and more effective to have a dry cotton swab handy to wipe away any dirt. I leave the solution on for 20 minutes and then wash it off with warm water and regular foaming hand soap. **First time I would suggest leaving it on for less time as you never know how it will react on your hair or skin (I started with 5-10 minutes per eyebrow). **After that I use a small brush to just apply a few quick strokes and paint over any areas that I think need more coverage and let it sit for another 20, this gives a very natural look. The last thing I want to address is the color, this natural brown is a bit darker for blondes. I would equate it to brown-black mascara as if it were mostly black. I should probably use a light brown or mix the two together like in some reviews but I really like how it looks after fading from real skin and I feel like it lasts longer than the lighter color, because it's so dark. For me, the pros and cons outweigh the cons when it comes to color, but that's all personal preference!

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • For old
