Eyebrow coloring and shaping

Eyebrow colouring and shaping covers three procedures with fundamentally different mechanisms — tint, henna and lamination — each with a different effect on the hair and the skin beneath it. It's important to note that the choice between them is not a matter of preference but of the final result required for the specific client.

Eyebrow Colouring and Shaping — Three Procedures, Three Different Mechanisms

Tint, henna and lamination appear similar to the client — all three "do the eyebrows." It's important to note that the chemistry and result are fundamentally different. Understanding the distinction helps the specialist select the correct product for the specific situation.

Eyebrow Tint — Colours the Hair Only

Oxidative tint acts through a chemical reaction with a peroxide developer — it penetrates the cortex of the hair fibre and deposits pigment inside the hair structure. The result is a saturated colouring of the eyebrow hair, with no visible effect on the skin beneath. It's important to note that tint requires a developer — without developer it does not activate and produces no colour. Available in tube format (multiple uses for salon work) and sachet + developer (single-use, ready to apply). Palette covers black, graphite, brown, light brown, dark brown and taupe.

Henna — Colours the Hair AND the Skin

Henna is a natural plant pigment (from Lawsonia inermis) and works in a fundamentally different way from oxidative tint. It simultaneously colours the hair and the skin beneath the brow — creating a "shadow" even in areas of sparse or absent hair growth. It's important to note that this skin-staining effect is the primary reason clients choose henna over tint — with correct application it creates a "filled" brow appearance even without separate shaping. Henna does not require a developer — it is dissolved in mineral solution or water and applied directly. It requires a longer contact time (up to 15–20 minutes for the skin effect). Duration: 2–4 weeks on hair, 1–2 weeks on skin, depending on skin oiliness.

Brow Lamination — Shapes Direction, Not Colour

Brow lamination is a chemical procedure that lifts and fixes brow hairs in a specific direction. It adds shape, not colour. It's important to note that lamination and colouring are regularly combined in a single appointment — first lamination, then tint or henna. Brow lamination products follow the same three-step protocol as lash lamination.

Tools — Specialised by Procedure

Brushes in this category come in different shapes for different functions: flat-angled for tint and henna application, precision brushes for sketching paste, round brushes for bio-fixation. Shaping pastes (in different colours for contrast against different skin tones) hold the brow in position during the procedure. Fixing gels and soaps maintain brow hair direction after the procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the practical difference between tint and henna for the client?

Tint colours the hair only. Henna colours the hair and the skin — creating a "filled" brow appearance. It's important to note that for clients with oily skin, the henna skin-staining effect is shorter (around 7 days) compared to dry-skinned clients (up to 14 days).

Can henna replace PMU?

No — henna is a temporary procedure (2–4 weeks). PMU is permanent (1–3 years). It's important to note that henna is a good alternative for clients who do not want a permanent result, or as a "test" of the desired shape before PMU.

Must lamination be done before colouring?

Not mandatory, but recommended for clients with chaotically growing brows. It's important to note that lamination must be performed BEFORE colouring — the reverse order compromises the chemical process of the lamination.
