Rufus R. Noble What would you choose if you had to choose one makeup product to bring with you if you were on an island? Most women will choose anything that is brow-related. Many women can forgo concealers, mascaras and bronzers if their brows look perfect.
This growing desire for well-groomed eyebrows has led to an increase in-salon services and beauty products that target brow enhancements. These treatments can be used to eliminate the need for regular makeup and maintenance. Eyebrow tinting is the most popular. This treatment takes only minutes and will leave you with thicker, fuller eyebrows that last longer than a day.
What is Henna Brow Tinting?
The result of eyebrow tinting is henna brows. This uses a special dye that leaves pigments under the brow hairs. Henna, a natural dye, is derived from the Hina (henna) tree. It has roots that date back to ancient Egyptian times. The leaves were dried and ground into powder, which was used to colour hair, fabric, and body art. Henna is used today as a dye for hair colouring and, in this case, eyebrow tinting.
Henna brow tinting works the same way as eyebrow pencils, gels, and liners. It gives the illusion of perfect brows that shape your eyes instantly, which can enhance your daily look. It’s designed to last for weeks and does not need to be touched every day. There are some notable differences between regular eyebrow tinting and henna dye.
Henna Brow Tinting or Regular Eyebrow Tinting
Semi-permanent brow tints can be used with regular henna or regular henna, but the way they look on hair makes them different. Brow tints are softer in colour, which is great for people who only want a subtle change to their appearance. On the other hand, Henna brows have a more defined and visible finish. Henna is a better choice if you want to give your eyebrows a fuller look. Henna eyebrows are also more durable than regular tints. They can last up to a week. You can consult your beauty therapist if you are unsure whether henna or regular tinting is best for your goal.
What Is The Henna Brow Tinting Method?
The henna application on the eyebrows is similar to traditional Indian colouring techniques we still use. Henna tints are made to match eyebrow tones and look natural.
- Our customers have the option to perform a patch test. This will allow us to determine if you have any skin reactions to the dye. However, it is rare!
- The brow technician will prepare and groom your eyebrows by lightly tweezing, waxing, or combing stray hairs. To prepare your eyebrows for tinting, the goal is to clean them up.
- Our brow technician will use a pencil to draw the perfect shape for your brows before applying the tint. We will then begin the actual tinting process.
- We will select the right henna colour for you based on your preferences and goals. To create a mixture, the henna powder and demineralised waters are combined. This is what we use to apply to your pre-shaped eyebrows.
- You should leave the henna dye on your eyebrows for between 10 and 20 minutes to allow the pigment to settle on the skin. The tint mixture is removed, and the brows are then tweezed or threaded to give them a clean, defined look.
How long does henna last?
Initial staining will only last about one to two weeks. However, actual henna eyebrows can stay on for up to six weeks depending upon the intensity of dye used, aftercare habits and skin type. People with a dry complexion are more likely to keep their henna eyebrows in place for longer than those with oily skin. The skin releases oils daily and makes cells more active so that henna pigments will fade quicker for those with oily or hyperactive skin. Your henna eyebrows will also fade faster if you have skin conditions like eczema or dermatitis.
However, the henna dye can be semi-permanent, so it will naturally fade when you wash your face, expose it to makeup removers and natural skin shedding. Fortunately, the process is so easy that you can easily return for touch-ups. We now move on to the most frequently asked question.
How Many Times Can You Get a Henna Brow Tint?
Let’s be real: Although henna colouring is generally safe, it can still cause skin irritations. Although it isn’t life-threatening or damaging, it can cause skin dryness or hair follicle damage, especially if applied incorrectly or too often. It is crucial to have them done by a professional, particularly one who will advise you on the best treatment methods (like us).
