All About Eyebrow Tinting
Our Favorite Hack For Instantly Fuller Brows
Looking for fuller brows now? Yes, you can you can turn to your favorite eye pencil or a body-building brow gel but the most natural-looking and low maintenance option is brow tinting. This in salon service has become a staple in our brow enhancing arsenal, as in just 10 minutes, sparse, patchy eyebrows can be transformed into impactful, face framing arches.
What is Brow Tinting?
Just as with tinting or dyeing your hair, eyebrow tinting involves applying semi-permanent dye to the brow hair to darken and define. Because dye also brings out all of the finer and lighter hairs within the brow, it also makes brows appear fuller instantly. The dye also leaves a stain of color of the skin that gives the illusion of fuller brows by filling in thinner, patchy spaces within the brow.
We always recommend going to a brow professional for this service as they will be using safe, professional grade tints formulated specifically for the brows, and are experienced in matching hair color so you won’t end up with brows that are too dark or look unnatural. Above all, if something goes wrong, they know how to fix it.
To start, your brow expert will prep and clean the brow area and mix a custom shade specifically for you. The dye is applied with a spoolie brush and left on for several minutes. The exact time will depend on the result desired–longer for more intense, darker brows and shorter for a lighter, more subtle effect.
Who is Brow Tinting Best For?
Brow tinting is not just for the fair-haired or to cover up those color-draining greys, even the darkest of brunettes have finer, lighter hairs that can be amped up. What’s more a brow tint has staying power, keeping brows looking better for up to three to six weeks as the hair works through its natural growth cycle or it begins to fade.
While eyebrow tinting works on skin types, skin tones, and hair colors, grey and white hair (as we all know) is more resistant to color so seeing a brow specialist is always a better bet than trying it out at home with a DIY kit and guaranteed to produce better results.
How to Make The Most Of Your Eyebrow Tint
To keep your tinted brows in their best shape, you’ll want to avoid getting your brows wet for twelve hours after getting the treatment done. After that avoid using retinols, vitamin C serums and AHAs around the brows as this can lead to fading of the color.
To keep your brows looking their best, make sure to follow up with a brow serum like Rbrow to create a protective barrier on the brow and keep the hair healthy and hydrated.
