Perform a patch test again if a client has been pregnant or very ill (due to a change in their hormonal balance). It's also wise to repeat the test once a year, as sometimes a client can develop an allergy. In principle, every client who uses henna for the first time should undergo a patch test. Do you have to do a patch test before each treatment?Ī patch test (or allergy test) is a simple method of finding out if a client is allergic to henna.

You have applied a shade that is too light to a skin that is too dark.ħ.

Sport or sweating in the first 24 hours can also cause the henna to fade quickly

The client has wet or cleaned her brows within 24 hours.

The henna only affects the skin where there is some hair

The client's eyebrows are too thin, which means that the henna didn't stick properly.

The client has very full eyebrows, making it difficult to cover all the skin under the brows with henna.

The skin had not been cleaned properly and there was still some makeup on the skin.

The client uses oil-based facial products.

The client has a very oily skin that does not adhere well to the henna.

What other reasons could there be for this? You have followed all the steps correctly, but the colour still fades more quickly than expected.

What other reasons can cause the colour to fade quickly? Leave the henna to take effect for the right length of time (not too short).Ħ.

Press and stamp the henna well into the skin using a brush.Make sure the henna is not applied too thinly and that the skin under the brows is completely covered.Before you start, clean the brows thoroughly, for example with Dyōtics Skin Prep Lotion.To ensure that the colour lasts as long as possible, you should take the following into account: But how do you ensure this? It's worth remembering that skin cells are constantly renewing themselves, which is why the henna often only remains on the skin for 5 to 14 days. This is a question that comes up time and time again! Which makes sense, as this is one of the goals of brow henna: a tint on the skin that's visible for as long as possible. How do you keep the colour on your skin as long as possible? Hormonal balance changes during pregnancy, so the skin may be more sensitive or an allergy may occur, and an allergic reaction is particularly unpleasant during pregnancy! Make sure that after the pregnancy you do another patch test on the client to make sure she has not developed an allergy.ĥ. It has not been proven that henna is harmful to the baby, but as with normal hair colouring, it is not recommended during pregnancy. We do not recommend henna for pregnant women. As a rule of thumb, it's better to start lighter and choose a shade that's not too dark. It won't work to re-tint the brows with a lighter henna shade, so be sure not to try that. Can you make the henna lighter if it is too dark?Īlways keep in mind that is very difficult to lighten henna! Is your result really too dark? You can try brushing a cotton ball with Dyōtics Tint Remover over the brows a few times, as this may lighten up the brows just a little bit. Or, you can also apply another layer of slightly darker henna after removing the henna. No worries! If you feel that the shade you have used is too light you can apply another layer almost immediately after applying the first layer. What if the colour is too light after removing the henna? Make sure you only let the tint soak in for about 5 minutes because it works much faster after a lamination treatment!Ģ. If you do want to add a tint to the hairs, we recommend using 'regular' eyebrow tint, like Refectocil or Bronsun, as they fade slightly faster from the skin, making the overall effect more natural. If the brows and the skin are tinted with henna afterwards, the effect of Brow Lamination will be gone because you won't be able to see the hairs anymore. The goal of Brow Lamination is to create a natural and fuller effect by laminating the hairs upwards, with the focus on the hairs. A question we get asked a lot! But we do not recommend the combination of Henna Brows and Brow Lamination, because the effect would simply be too much.
