Would you like to go on holiday with defined and well-groomed eyebrows? Have you heard of eyebrow dye or henna but don't know the difference or which effect suits you best?
Eyebrow dyeing and henna are two different techniques, both used to color the eyebrow hair, but with very different effects and durations.
Dyeing is a chemical process in which a coloring solution is applied to the eyebrows to obtain a certain color that can vary from black, to brown, to blonde up to the “bleached” effect (decoloration). This solution contains ammonia or hydrogen peroxide that helps to fix the color. The final effect on the hair can last about a month, a month and a half, depending on the type of dye used and the home maintenance post-treatment.
Eyebrow henna , on the other hand, is a form of natural coloring obtained from a plant, Lawsonia Inermis . Henna is applied to the eyebrows and left to act for a certain period of time before being rinsed off, it does not require the use of ammonia or hydrogen peroxide. Henna can also be available in different shades of blonde, brown, and brown, but it cannot be lightened or bleached.
A special feature of henna is its ability to color not only the hair but also the skin with an underlying shading effect. The treatment lasts about 2/3 weeks, extremely influenced by the products and the home routine. (to find out more about this natural technique read our dedicated article)
But which one is best to use during the summer? And above all, how do you understand which color is best for you?
Here is some more information that might help you.
The choice between eyebrow dye and henna in summer depends mainly on individual needs. However, there are some considerations to keep in mind:
- Eyebrow henna has a reputation for being more heat and water resistant than eyebrow dye . This means it may be a better choice for those who participate in vigorous physical activities or frequent the pool or beach during the summer.
- Eyebrow dye tends to last longer than henna . If you want a color that will last for a longer period of time without requiring more frequent touch-ups, you may want to opt for eyebrow dye .
- If you are looking for a more natural and less obvious result, dyeing might be the best choice.
- Some skin types may be more sensitive to the dye . If you have sensitive skin or are prone to allergies, you may prefer henna , which is an all-natural dye.
In any case, before rushing into a reckless choice, get advice from a professional. Make sure you get a personalized consultation, like the one our Brow Artists do, to identify the solution that best suits your needs and the characteristics of your eyebrow.
