Who Are Henna Brows Best For?

Henna brows are ideal for those with medium to full brow hair density and normal to slightly oily skin. If you have very oily skin or minimal brow hair, henna may not last as long or give the same definition as it would for someone with more natural hair to tint.

How to Prep Before Your Appointment
Prep is key! Gently exfoliate your brow area 24–48 hours before your appointment to remove dead skin cells and help the henna stain evenly. Avoid using retinol or other active skincare ingredients around the brows for at least a week prior—they can affect how the henna stains your skin.

What Happens During the Service
Your brow artist will begin with a consultation to understand your desired shape and color. Next comes precise brow mapping to outline the ideal shape for your face. After that, the henna is carefully applied and left to process before being removed.

What to Expect Right After
Immediately after the treatment, your brows may look darker and more defined than expected—this is completely normal! The intensity softens within 24–48 hours, revealing a more natural look.

Aftercare Tips for Long-Lasting Results
To keep your henna brows looking fresh, avoid excessive sweating, swimming, or oil-based products on your brows for the first 24–48 hours. Gentle cleansing and minimal rubbing will help preserve the stain.

Fading & Touch-Ups
Henna typically lasts 2–3 weeks on the skin and 4–6 weeks on the brow hairs, depending on your skin type and aftercare. As the stain fades, you’ll notice a softer look. Most clients return for a touch-up every 4–6 weeks to maintain definition.

By knowing what to expect and following a few simple prep and aftercare steps, your henna brow experience can be smooth, satisfying, and stunning.
