What is Henna Brows?
Henna brows are a form of eyebrow tinting that is used to stain the skin beneath the brow hairs as well as the brow hairs. The purpose of this is to cast a shadow or create an illusion of depth and fullness in the area, visually filling in any sparseness.
Henna is a natural dye made from a plant known as hina or the henna tree. Henna has been around since ancient Egyptian times when it was used for many purposes such as dyeing hair, clothes, fabrics and as make up.
What is Henna?
Henna is a powder based colouring agent which is derived from a henna plant or henna tree. By mixing the powder with a special mixture of Aqua, it activates the colour.
What is the difference between Henna Brows and Eyebrow tint?
Regular eyebrow tinting involves a dye that contains peroxide oxidant to activate the colour. While a tint can create a skin stain, this will wash off after a day or two. Henna is a natural product that does not require peroxide and does not contain ammonia or lead. Henna is very effective in staining the skin which results in a long-lasting effect.
Henna is perfect for those who have slightly sparse eyebrows as it stains the skin to create a powder filled in look. It also lasts a lot longer than your average eyebrow tint.
Henna is a safe and natural alternative to tints and dyes. It is vegan friendly and free from peroxide activators, making it a suitable option for anyone with sensitive skin.
How long will my Henna Brows last?
The Henna will last 1-2 weeks on the skin and 2-4 on the eyebrow hairs depending on your skin type, hair growth cycle and aftercare routine.
