Henna Brow Tint

Henna brows are a type of tinting that stains the skin giving you tinted hairs for up to 6 weeks and a tint on the skin that can last anywhere from 2-10 days. It's a fantastic way to try out a shape before committing to semi-permanent makeup, or if you just want your eyebrows shaped and filled temporarily.

FAQs on Henna Brow Tint

 

What are henna brows?

Henna brows are a form of eyebrow tinting that is used to stain the skin beneath the brow hairs and the actually brow hairs. The purpose is to cast a shadow or create the illusion of depth and fullness to the brows, visually filling in any sparseness.
Henna is a natural permanent dye taken from the leaves of the henna plant.
Henna has been around since ancient Egyptian times when it was used for many purposes such as dyeing hair, clothes, fabrics and make up.

Why does henna fade?

Henna is a natural permanent dye and it will fade only as the skin regenerates a new epidermis which is our outermost layer of the skin.
If the skin is newly exfoliated at the time of application the skin stain will be much less as the henna doesn't have as much skin to absorb into.
Oily skin will have less retention than dry skin.

Why does henna last longer on other parts of the body?

Because the skin is thicker on the arms and legs then the brows.
The thicker the skin, the darker the stain can develop.

What is the difference between normal tinting and henna brows?

Tinting will last around 1-2 days on the skin and 5-7 days on the hair, where henna brows will last up to 14 days on the skin and up to 4 weeks on the hair.

How can I make my henna tint last the longest:

Avoid using drying skincare products directly on the brows, use cold water to cleanse your face and be sure to properly clean your brows at night with a gentle oil-free cleanser to remove pore clogging & harmful debris that collect on the brow hair, resulting in shedding of the brow hair and cause your lift to fall faster.

How long after the treatment can I get my brows wet?

The skin needs to stay dry for at least 12 hours (preferably 24hrs) after henna application as wiping or rinsing with water to the area will stop the henna developing.
The henna stain will take 12-24hrs to reach its full color potential.
