How henna brows differ from a regular tint
A normal brow tint colours the hair only. Henna does that and tints the skin beneath, creating a soft shadow that mimics a brow filled in with makeup. That skin stain is why henna suits people with gaps, over-plucked brows or fair hairs that a regular tint struggles to grab. On the hair the colour can last a few weeks; on the skin the stain fades gradually over one to two weeks, leaving a natural-looking result the whole time.
Who henna brows suit best
If your brows are patchy, sparse at the front, or you simply love a defined, structured look, henna is for you. It is also a lovely option if you are curious about the bolder brow trend but not ready to commit to anything semi-permanent like microblading. Clients with very oily skin sometimes find the skin stain fades faster, so we will talk through realistic expectations before we start.
The henna brow process
We begin by mapping and threading your brow so the shape is clean, because henna will only ever look as good as the shape underneath it. We then mix the henna to your matched shade, paint it on and let it develop while it does its work on both hair and skin. After the develop time we remove it and reveal the finished brow. Allowing time for a shape-up first, the appointment runs a little longer than a standard tint, and it is worth it.
Making your henna brows last
The skin stain is the part that needs babying. Keep the brows dry for the first 24 hours, avoid cleansing oils, exfoliants and heavy moisturisers directly on the brow, and do not scrub the area in the shower. The longer you keep oil and friction off, the longer the stain holds. Booking a shape-and-henna every four to six weeks keeps the brows looking consistently full.
Henna brows vs microblading
People often ask whether to get henna or microblading. Microblading is a semi-permanent tattoo that lasts a year or more but involves needles, healing time and a bigger spend. Henna is non-invasive, painless, far cheaper and washes out gradually, which makes it perfect for trialling a fuller brow or for anyone who likes to change their look. Many clients use henna for years and never feel the need to go further.

What is the difference between henna brows and tinting?
A regular tint colours only the brow hair, while henna colours the hair and stains the skin underneath. That skin stain fills sparse patches and creates a fuller, more defined look, which is why henna is popular with anyone who has gaps or over-plucked brows.
