Henna Brows may be new to the beauty industry but it is not a new product. Henna has been used traditionally for over 5,000 years coming from a flowering plant grown in extremely hot climates.

Used in the middle east to create stunning body art, tradition holds that as long as the henna stain appears on the bride she doesn’t have to do any housework! (We can still apply that to henna brows right?)


WHAT IS HENNA EXACTLY?

Henna is a powder which comes in many shades, we mix the powder with activator to create a paste which we apply to the brows and sets to a powder-like matte finish.


HENNA VS TINTING?

Henna “stains” the skin more effectively than regular tinting the stain, on the skin can last up to 7 days on your skin and up to 6 weeks on your hair. In comparison to standard tint which doesn’t stain the skin only the hair and last about 4 weeks.

Unlike tint which penetrates the hair, henna ‘coats’ the hair giving you a thicker appearance and more fuller looking brows.

Henna could be an alternative for those who react to normal tint.


MORE THAN TINTING BUT LESS THAN MICROBLADING

Henna sits in between the two, it definitely gives you more definition and a bolder brow than tinting does but is not permanent like microblading.  If you are thinking about microblading, henna is the perfect way to try out how thick or full you would like your brows and how dark you could go to suit your hair and skin tone.


AFTERCARE
