I have almost the opposite problem. I’m a natural red-head, but my lashes and eyebrows are quite a bit lighter…almost blond. All of my body hair is blond, except 1 “private” area…that’s red, too.

Don’t feel bad. My hair is real light blond (almost white) on top, dirty/strawberry blond on the sides and my beard is really really red. It’s kinda like neapolitan ice cream. =)

I have the same thing going on. My eyebrows aren’t very dark but darker than my hair. Everywhere else is really blond including my eyelashes which sucks because I have to wear mascara or I look like I don’t have any lashes.

xgunther, i don’t know why it is, but i don’t think it’s unusual. my hairstylist (back when i got my hair dyed) always did my eyebrows darker on purpose. she said it looked more natural, eyebrows slightly darker.

LOL x Hussein Gunther! My father is of Serbian descent, so I guess that doesn’t rule out any middle eastern ties.
