Henna Brows: What It Is, The Process And Aftercare Tips

Take a look in the mirror — do you see some gaps within your brow hairs?

If your answer is yes, then this article is for you!

Before you feel discouraged, know that you are not alone – many people suffer from thinning brows or gaps within their brows, which could be due to hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, skin conditions, an overactive immune system or general ageing.

Fortunately, there are various brow embroidery and tinting options available. Henna brows have been taking over the world by storm and quickly becoming one of the hottest brow trends. This impeccable brow treatment can be used to give you fuller yet natural-looking brows – no one would know you had sparse or thinning brows to begin with!

What are henna brows?

Henna has been used for body art, hair dyes, and cosmetics for thousands of years. Henna brows do not utilise the classic shade of red that most people associate with henna, but rather a cooler colour tone that is great for eyebrows.

Henna brows are a type of brow tinting that stains the skin and darkens the brow hairs. The results? You’ll look like you’ve been blessed with naturally full and defined brows or like you’re wearing the best brow powder on the market.

Henna brows are a natural alternative to traditional eyebrow tinting methods – which are typically made of chemicals – because they are made of natural plant-based ingredients. So, if you want to try out a shape before committing to microblading eyebrow embroidery, or if you want your eyebrows temporarily filled in and shaped, this is an excellent option!

The henna brow process

If you have ever had your brow tinted, you would have an idea of what the henna brow process would be like.

For starters, your brows will be shaped and groomed in accordance with your face shape and structure. Of course, if you have a specific brow shape that you desire, you may let your brow specialist know. Otherwise, don’t worry, as they would possess the professional know-how on which brow shape would suit you best!

Thereafter, the skin around the brows will be cleansed of all makeup, sebum, and skincare product residues. Sometimes, a gentle scrub may also be done to exfoliate the skin for better absorption. Cleansing and prepping the skin is essential to achieve an even shading and the best possible results. At Avone Beauty Secrets, a layer of Acone Active Balancing Softener is also applied to better retain the henna colour pigments before Brows Crowning Henna Strokes begins. And voila! You’ll be able to enjoy your desired results immediately with absolutely no downtime.

Aftercare tips

As compared to eyebrow embroidery treatments, the post-henna brow process has no downtime and requires less aftercare. This is because no lesions were made on the skin’s epidermis during the henna brow process, so there will be no pain, swelling or bleeding.

Your henna-filled brows will last approximately 2 to 3 months and their longevity will vary based on different skin types. Results will last longer for those with a dry or normal skin combination as opposed to those with an oily skin type. For those with skin conditions with dermatitis and eczema, the colour pigments may not last for long as well.

As for aftercare tips, generally, for 24 hours after getting your brows done, try not to touch them too much. Steer clear of exfoliants, scrubs and oil-based products as these can cause the henna dye to fade quicker. When cleansing your face, try your best to avoid your brows as well.
