Brow henna is an alternative to brow tint, where the skin underneath the brows is stained, as well as the brows. This works to create depth and fullness in the area and visual fills-in any sparseness. Henna is a vegan, natural dye mixed with demineralised water. No peroxide activators are used, making it suitable for anyone with sensitive skin. (NOTE: A patch test can be performed on request before the treatment).
A custom blend paste is made by mixing henna with demineralised water, which is applied throughout the brows and let to dry for 10 minutes. This process is then repeated to build upon the colour. Once the henna is dry, the residue is gently removed with a damp cotton. A henna conditioner or oil is then applied.
The whole henna process may take up to 45 mins (including shaping – if necessary).
Effects from henna differ from person to person. This depends on the individuals hair/ skin type and their routine (i.e. makeup/ skin care routine). For example, A person with oily skin and thinner brows may not see long-lasting results. This is because, although henna is directly applied to the skin, it only colours the outer layer of the skin.
In general, henna lasts anywhere from 7-10 days on the skin and 4-5 weeks on the brows.*
To maintain the colour, touch-ups are recommended in 4 to 5 weeks.*
