All About Henna Brows: Results, Aftercare, and More!
Have you been serving looks left and right this season? Maybe a little eyebrow tinting is on the menu, and if you’re curious if your sensitive skin type, or even oily skin, can take on the challenge, the answer is an absolute yes!
With henna dye, you open yourself up to a semi-permanent solution to keep those brows looking fresh and sharp. The result is a perfect look that needs no introduction.
What are henna brows?
Henna has been used for thousands of years as a natural dye for hair, traditional body art, makeup, and more. When we think of henna, we often see a color with a reddish hue, but when it comes to henna brows, the dye is formulated to a cooler tone that can be built upon to create a lighter or darker shade. This leaves a lot of flexibility for the wearer and the artist.
The benefits of henna brow tints
The benefits of henna brow tints are as abundant as they are diverse. Since this process tints and stains the skin, it offers a fuller, more comprehensive effect. And if you’ve had over-plucked brows for quite some time, henna brows do a great job providing coverage to sparse, thin hair.
Henna is a great option for people with sensitive skin or who are prone to allergies, given it’s a natural dye that contains less harsh ingredients than the average color.
How much do henna brows usually cost?
Henna brows can be an excellent investment, especially if you spend much of your time trying to perfect a chiseled, full-brow look. Combined with other services, like lamination and waxing, those seeking a full service for their brows can expect to spend around $150 for the package.
How long do henna brows last?
One of the most sought-after aspects of using henna dye is its longevity. Henna lasts around twice as long on brow hair, ranging from 1 to 2 weeks on skin, and up to 4 to 6 weeks on your brows depending on upkeep and skin type. The real gift is how beautifully it takes to all types of hair, whether coarse, fine or even gray.
Henna brow results for oily skin
If you’re someone who struggles with keeping oily skin balanced, you might be wondering if henna brows are even possible for you. The truth is that you, and anyone, can absolutely benefit from henna brows. The average length of results for those with oily skin is between 2 to 4 weeks, but will extend with consistency!
Henna brow results for dry skin
If you have dry skin, a henna brow treatment is likely to stay on your skin longer than those with oily skin. Dry skin absorbs henna deeper into the skin. So make sure to check in with your esthetician about moisturizing to keep your face from becoming dry or patchy. Maintaining moisturized skin, especially during this treatment, is essential to keep the dye from looking uneven or unnatural.
Be consistent with treatment for best results
The best way to get the most out of your treatment is to be consistent and stay connected to your maintenance appointments. Time with your esthetician is invaluable. It’s an opportunity to talk about what is and what isn’t working as well as get tips and tricks directly from the source.
What to expect from a henna brow appointment
When you arrive at your brow appointment, if nothing else, trust the process! We’re here to listen to your preferences, styles, and whatever else is on your mind.
Brow mapping and shaping
Doing your brows is such a creative process. It feels so liberating and exciting to create the exact look you’ve been gushing over. During your consultation, your esthetician will work with you to map and shape your ideal brow; its arch, and its thickness.
Exfoliate and cleanse your brows
Exfoliation and cleansing are the final steps before henna application. Your brow specialist will take special care of your skin and help brush out those stubborn hairs with a spoolie before getting to work. Then, the magic begins.
Henna tint is applied while you relax
As you rest and take a load off, your esthetician will be hard at work following the brow style you’ve mapped out. They’ll work with precision and a gentle hand, creating a shade that matches your skin and hair perfectly – taking careful caution to not overdo it.
