This is our best overall because it’s easy to use, provides full coverage, is long-lasting and salon-quality, and is highly recommended by the pros. “Ardell tint is a long-trusted product,” says Augustoni. The kits will come with everything you need to tint at home. Plus, have an inclusive shade range. Healy loves this one because it is reasonably priced and because it is “gentler and more beginner-friendly than other boxed hair dyes. Think of it as reliable and less intimidating.” Make sure you mix this formula well before you apply it, he adds.
Key ingredients: Camelia leaf, ginger root extract, horsetail extract | Shades: 4

Godefroy Hair Color Tint Kit
- Pros: Long-lasting; blends easily
- Cons: Some users have said it turns dark quickly
This one is the longest-lasting dye on the list; expect the color to last about six weeks. “Godefroy tint is a great plant-based option with long-lasting results,” says Augustoni. “They have a good shade range and options to use a ‘no mix’ tint, making at-home tinting super easy.” The tint kit comes with 20 easy-to-use, pre-measured encapsulated applications for the freshest color delivery. Though this color kit also works well for root touch-ups and gray coverage, be wary of how long you leave it on your brows, as the longer you leave it on, the darker your brows get.
Key ingredients: p-Phenylenediamine (PPD), hydrogen peroxide, cetearyl alcohol, mineral oil | Shades: 5
Best Semi-Permanent: BaeBrow All Caps Starter Kit
BaeBrow All Caps Starter Kit

If you’re looking to dye your brows without too much commitment, BaeBrow’s Starter Kit makes it super easy to experiment at home. “Baebrow is [one of] the first to create a capsule form of eyebrow tint, which is very unique. It really does the work for you and makes mixing tint and application a breeze,” says Augustoni. Just break open a capsule, add water, mix, and apply to your brows. BaeBrow’s extensive color range works well on all undertones, making it easy to find your perfect match. It will last anywhere from 2–4 weeks. Another added bonus: the main ingredient, Henna powder, in the formulation is known to coat and and strengthen the hair follicle by sealing in moisture.

Best for Gray Hair: Just For Men Mustache & Beard

Just For Men Mustache & Beard
- Pros: Works quickly
- Cons: May not be good for very sensitive skin
Gray hairs are stubborn, sometimes wiry, and a little coarse, which means you need a dye that’s really going to do the job. This is not your typical brow dye, but rather, an industry secret. “Just for Men Mustache & Beard is often used off-label on brows because it is designed for coarse facial hair and has a shorter processing time than traditional box dyes,” says Healy. He recommends it especially for graying brows. “It offers good shade control, looks natural when applied carefully, and works well on coarse or resistant brow hairs.” The nice, creamy consistency helps with application and allows for great coverage. Healy recommends choosing a lighter shade than you think you need and leave on your brows for two to five minutes.
Key ingredients: Hydrogen peroxide, p-phenylenediamine (PPD), biotin, aloe | Shades: 12
