Guide complete guide on colouring and contrast GTFIH

Understanding facial contrasts and general colouring!

​

The best way to understand contrast as a whole is the difference in your looks, within your hair, skin,​

eyes and lashes.​

​

High contrast = overall better look​

Low contrast = less striking, more "normal-ish" look​

​

where contrast can matter and can be a huge difference​

​

Blondes and gingers, especially, struggle within this category because many people with these colours​

have light eyebrows and pale skin, making it hard to see the person's eyebrows, which can look slightly off-putting and or weird.​

​

HOWEVER! too much contrast can create an unnatural and or uncanny look!​

such as too dark a colour on a pale or more fair skin tone, making it a little off-putting​

​

Positives of high contrast​

• sharper
• more dramatic
• more masculine on men
• more striking or glamorous on women

Spoiler: EYEBROWS

EYEBROWS

eyebrows will be put into two distinct parts​

• GROWTH
• COLOUR

These will both help drastically with colouring and can make or break a face, and are a major flaw for the majority of people trying to get a little boost in their looks.​

and don't want to try anything major just yet.​

​

growth​

To help with growth, there are many things you can do to optimise the shape and overall look of your eyebrows​

• Rosemary oil can improve blood circulation and increase hair growth (SRC: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/rosemary-oil-for-hair)
• 5% minoxidil is the superior serum for this, 10% is not as good as I will explain next (5% minox: https://www.boots.com/sons-minoxidil-5-cutaneous-solution-60ml-10339464)
• castor oil (on the fence about this could be cope do some research on it!)

minoxidil 10% vs 5% (for eyebrows)​

Minoxidil for eyebrows can overall reduce the risk of irritation and unwanted overgrowth within the eyebrows​

5% will be more effective within the application and acquisition, due to 10% being considered "off-label"​

for eyebrows, as there are fewer tests and a larger risk of carrying side effects.​

(generally try 5% and then switch to 10% if growth and progress are taking too long)​

colouring​

a common practice to improve colouring can be to dye​

rule of thumb for dye​

• 1 shade darker (a brownish shade) for blondes and gingers
• same shade as hair for brunettes
• for black have a slightly softer black

brands to use!​

• syoss
• l'oreal
• eylure

this is word of mouth just find what works for u​

​

ways to fraud eyebrows:​

• vaseline on them to make a darker tint
• hair gel again for a dark tint

Spoiler: LASHES

Lashes​

Dark lashes increase:

• eye depth
• limbal ring perception
• eye size illusion

Best methods:

• lash tint
• castor oil
• peptide lash serums

Avoid overlong feminine lashes if aiming for masculine aesthetics.

Spoiler: peps n stuff for colouring

muh ghk and mt2 ​

Melanotan II (MT2) is a synthetic peptide that mimics the action of alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH), a natural hormone involved in:​

• melanin production
• skin pigmentation
• appetite signalling
• sexual arousal pathways

main effects:​

primary effects: tanning duh​

MT2 stimulates melanocortin receptors especially MC1R which increases melanin synthesis within the skin​

MT2 can also darken freckles moles and other pigmented areas​

MT2 also has some effects on reduced hunger and earlier fullness​

Side effeects:​

• libido
• spontaneous erections
• sexual arousal

this occurs as melanocortin signalling also affects parts of the nervous system involved in sexual function​

(close relative of bremelanotide)​

FAN FAVOURITE PEPTIDE EVERYONE RAVING ABOUT IT WOWOWOWOWOWOW JFL​

ghk-cu (glycyl-L-histidyl-L-lysine copper) ​

MAIN EFFECTS OF GHK-CU:​

• collagen production
• extracellular matrix remodeling
• fibroblast activity
• smooth skin
• softer lines
• improved elasticity
• firmer appearence

Shouldve added examples of low high contrast, also castor oil has been shown in studies to not cause hair growth
I think rosemary is cope too but ill have to look up some studies rq bc ur source says it’s as effective as minox
U shouldve included oral minox too
