Bonus tips

The secret for carrying gray hair best is in the eyebrows. Try to make them luscious with oiling and moisturizing. Invest time to re-grow the missing tails of the brows. For a quick fix:

Use a brow powder to fill in patchy spots to make your arch look thicker.
Lengthen your brow tails with a pigmented pencil.
Trim, tweeze, and set hairs in place for an arch that is out of control.
