Finding the perfect eyebrow tint isn't easy. There are many products on the market recommended by stylists. Problems arise when you're completely unsure which is the better choice for your clients – henna or eyebrow dye? We want to make your decision easier. We've prepared a guide for stylists, highlighting the differences between henna and eyebrow dye. Choose proven products and ensure all your clients are happy with your styles!

What's the best eyebrow tint – henna or dye?

If you want to emphasize your clients' eyebrows and give them a more defined shape, you have two popular methods to choose from: henna or dye. Henna has a more intense effect, even on the skin – great for gaps in the eyebrow arch. Dye is more gentle, mainly colors the hairs, and is a better choice when the client prefers a more subtle style.

For a natural effect, eyebrow dye is definitely a good choice, but for a style that will look elegant and last longer, you can suggest henna to the client.

To help you make a decision more efficiently and recommend a specific style, you should understand the basic differences between henna and eyebrow dye. The most important are:

 

  1. Ingredients – henna is a plant-based product, the dye has a chemical base with an oxidant.
  2. Durability – henna lasts up to 2 weeks on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the hairs, while the dye only lasts on the hairs – about 3-4 weeks.
  3. Effect – henna leaves a shadow on the skin, the dye hardly at all.
  4. Working time – you leave henna on longer (15-20 minutes), the dye shorter (5-10 minutes).
  5. Accuracy – the dye gives you more control over the color, while henna can be more intense and less predictable.

 

So henna or eyebrow dye? The decision is always yours. Remember that you should adapt your styling method and the products you use to your client's needs and preferences.

Natural henna, an eco-friendly form of eyebrow dye - what do you need to know?

Henna is a natural plant dye that has been used for years to color hair and eyebrows. It is made from the leaves of the Lawsonia inermis plant, and its effect is based on its adhesion to the hair and skin. This allows you to achieve a long-lasting yet gentle effect – without interfering with the hair's structure.

Natural henna may also contain other plants, such as indigo, amla, or chamomile, which enhance the color and nourish the skin.

You should know that henna dyes not only the hair but also the skin. However, the stain on the skin lasts for a shorter time – usually a few days.

The effect on the hair can last up to 6 weeks, although this depends on your skin type. With oily skin, the dye washes out more quickly – it can disappear from the skin after even 2 days. You can apply henna once every 4-5 weeks to avoid skin irritation and maintain a nice eyebrow shape.

So eyebrow dye or henna? Make a decision and get permanent tinting!

If you want to create styles that your clients will truly be happy with, you need to choose a product that meets their needs. Henna is great when you want a more intense effect and filling in gaps. Dye is perfect when your client wants something softer, without leaving a dark circle on the skin. It all depends on the effect you're looking for and what you're most comfortable working with.

At Rarity, you'll find ready-made kits, dyes, and hennas that provide lasting color and are safe for your skin.
