HENNA COUTURE BROWS
Let’s get you that perfect brow shape! We know there are so many options when it comes to your eyebrows, so let us help you figure out which is best for you. Defining and shaping your brows is critical to showing off your facial features- whether you prefer tweezing, waxing, or even Powder Brows. And let’s not forget Eyebrow services are not just for the ladies! Men’s eyebrows need some love too.
How great would it be to wake up in the morning and have your eyebrows already good to go?
With henna, you can temporarily tint your eyebrows in a painless and all-natural way so they’re shaped every morning, with no need for pencils or powders. It’s also a really great way to trial a shape before you commit to Microblading.
What are henna brows?
Henna brows are a form of eyebrow tinting that is used to stain the skin beneath 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 Lawsonia. 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.
The process for henna brows is very similar to henna coloring methods you may see in traditional Indian culture, however the shades have been formulated to cater for eyebrow tones.
What does the henna brow process involve?
We generally sculpt your brow line into your preferred shape via wax and tweeze method, then select a suitable henna shade to use.
Henna powder and demineralized Rosewater are mixed together to create a paste, which is then applied through the shape of your eyebrows and allowed to soak into the skin for 10-15 minutes.
Less intensity is applied that the beginning of the brow, with more strength in the arch and tail for an ombré effect.
How do henna brows compare to other temporary tinting?
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.
We find most clients prefer the Henna Couture brows to traditional tinting as the henna is a natural product and generally produces longer lasting results.
It will appear matte and fluffier than regular tinting. Traditional hair and brow dye will tint the hairs more effectively, whereas henna successfully grips the skin.
How long do henna brows last and how do you maintain them?
The results of henna brows typically last between 2-4 weeks, but it’s dependent on your skin type. If you have a dryer complexion, henna brows will tend to last a bit longer than they would on someone with an oily complexion.
To maintain them for as long as possible, it’s important to not over-wash your face.
Henna works best on clients with healthy skin. Skin conditions like psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema will mean the henna won’t last as long. Freshly exfoliated skin is not ideal.
The more brow hair the better – people with little hair in their brows won’t see as long lasting results.
