Yes, school is back in session (we know all the moms are still doing the nae'nae' to it), but chalk isn't being used just for teachers. Stylist around the globe are now endorsing "hair chalk."

Before you begin tinting your eyebrows, it is important to shape your eyebrows, which will involve trimming, tweeting, waxing or threading them a day earlier. It is not advisable to do these things after applying eyebrows tints. Using lukewarm water, and a mild facial cleaner, clean and pat your eyebrows to ensure they are dry.
