What are Henna Brows, and how is it different to a regular eyebrow tint?

Henna eyebrows are the new rage among beauty enthusiasts who desire well-defined, fuller-looking brows. This technique involves using henna dye to tint the brow hairs and skin, creating a natural and semi-permanent effect that can last up to four weeks. Unlike traditional eyebrow dye, henna is a plant-based product that is free from any ingredients, making it a safer alternative for those with sensitive skin. Henna is a plant-based dye, derived from the plant Lawsonia Inermis (also known as the henna, mignonette, or Egyptian tree). The leaves from the henna tree contain a natural pigment used for temporary body art, hair colours, dying fabrics and more.

Henna Brows are a natural way to tint the eyebrow hairs. It is used to stain the skin beneath the eyebrow hairs. This is to cast a shadow to create depth and fullness in the area, filling in any sparseness. Henna works by coating the hairs, creating the look of thicker hair.

Traditional tint makes the hair darker by breaking down the hair and penetrating colour in the hair follicles. Henna is excellent for over-plucked or sparse brows, as it temporarily stains the skin underneath the eyebrow.

How long do Henna Brows last?

Henna can last anywhere from a few days up to 4 weeks on the skin. The length of time henna tinting lasts differs from person to person and is dependent on your skin type. Henna brows are considered a form of semi-permanent makeup, this is highly dependent on the amount of oil someone has in their skin, and some skincare ingredients. Any skincare that has skin refining ingredients will cause the Henna to fade off the skin faster. This includes some shampoos and conditioners. If you are getting the Henna for its skin staining qualities, it is best to avoid skincare and shampoos from touching the skin around the eyebrows.

Prepare for Henna Brow Services:

The prep for your henna brows appointment is easy! Before your eyebrow appointment, ensure you have no products in your eyebrows, or on the skin around the area. Do not exfoliate the skin around your eyebrows before your appointment either. You can book a tint with your service in the Lash & Tint Services section of our online booking system.
