How To Maintain Eyebrow Tint

How brow tint works

A brow tint applies a semi-permanent colour to your brow hairs. It makes light, fine or grey hairs more visible, so your brows look more defined without daily make-up. Because the colour sits on the hair, it fades gradually as you wash your face and as hairs shed and regrow.

Aftercare for the first day

• Keep your brows dry for the rest of the day where you can.
• Avoid make-up, sweat and swimming on the brows for the first day.
• Do not rub or pick at the area.

Habits that help it last

• Keep exfoliating products away from your brows. Acids, retinoids and scrubs break down the colour.
• Be careful with oil cleansers. Oil-based cleansers and make-up removers can lift the tint faster.
• Protect from sun. Sun exposure fades colour, so a hat helps on long days outdoors.
• Pat dry rather than rubbing your brows with a towel.

Tint, henna or lamination?

• Brow tint colours the hairs only. It suits you if you mainly want darker, more visible brows.
• Brow henna also stains the skin underneath for a short time, so brows can look fuller while the stain lasts.
• Brow lamination sets the hairs in place for a brushed-up shape and can be combined with a tint.

When to rebook

Most people rebook when the colour starts to look soft and before it fades completely. Your technician can suggest timing that suits your hair. Ask about a patch test when you book, particularly if it is your first tint or you have reacted to hair dye before.
