So I naturally have very blonde hair. My eyelashes and brows are basically white, so I dye them myself at home.
Prior to dying my brows, I use Nair face cream which basically melts the hair off. I leave on for 8 minutes or so. Wipe off. Then I apply the dye to my eyebrows with a paintbrush. I do this process every 2 weeks, as the dye eventually fades with face washing and showers.
My question - Is it safe to apply dye every 2 weeks? Does this increase my chance of cancer down the road? I've been doing this for years, and I'm just worried about the health/safety aspect of it.
I should also mention, that after the hair removal process with Nair, my skin is irritated and sometimes if I get the dye on the skin, it burns for a few minutes. I'm paranoid that the dye is seeping through my skin and is causing damage!
Any advice/tips would be appreciated.
PS - I just buy the box hair dye from the drug store. Nutrisse brand. I only mix a small amount at a time, so a box will last me 8 months to a year.
