Rarely some people find they get quite scabby, every ones different. Over the next week or 2 they tend to look quite light as they are still healing under the skin. Through out this time they tend to get itchy too. By week 4 your brows will be healed & your colour would of resurfaced. Do not touch, pick or scratch your brows through out healing!
