Henna brows are a type of eyebrow tinting that uses henna dye to tint the eyebrows. Henna is a natural dye derived from the leaves of the henna plant, which has been used for centuries in body art and to dye the skin and hair. Henna brow tinting is a popular alternative to traditional brow dye because it not only adds color but also helps to thicken and strengthen the eyebrow hairs, resulting in a fuller and more defined brow shape. The henna dye contains natural ingredients that are less harsh on the skin and provide a more natural-looking tint.
During the henna brow process, the henna is painted onto the eyebrows after the skin is cleansed and any oils are removed. The henna is left on for a certain amount of time, depending on the desired color intensity, and then removed. Henna brows tint and stain the skin, giving a fuller, 3D effect, and can encourage hair to grow back fuller in all the right places. Henna brows can last on the hairs for up to 6 weeks, which is almost twice as long as regular tint, and can tint the skin anywhere from 2-10 days.
