How long does eyebrow tint last?
If your eyes are the windows to your soul, your eyebrows are the window frames that enhance the beauty within the windows. When it comes to the frames, your eyebrows need specialist grooming and colouring treatments to enhance how beautiful they already are. Eyebrow colouring is one of the best ways to give them a good solid shape and thickness in the areas you need it most. Eyebrow treatments are affordable for those worried about how long they last. You’ll probably have to invest in a monthly touch up to keep the tint from completely fading. The tint is not meant to last forever, clients interested in something like this should give us a call to discuss Ombré Beauty’s permanent makeup treatments. Here’s everything you need to know about eyebrow tints…
What is eyebrow tinting?
The journey to perfectly coloured brows starts with dyeing your eyebrow hairs and some of the skin underneath. The tints are made up of a semi-permanent dye, very similar to hair dye but much less harsh. A subtle brow tint is all you need to really make your brows bolder, improve the colour and give the illusion of thickness. The tinting process is quick, painless and can last for a decent amount of time. The dye is also very effective for enhancing your desired brow shaping.
How to tint eyebrows?
Eyebrow tinting is one of our clients’ favourite treatments because it is quick and easy but makes a big difference in how you look and feel. The process shouldn’t take more than thirty minutes and all of this time is for you to sit back and relax while the dye sets into your eyebrows and the top layer of skin. You could attempt to do this yourself at home, but dye products can be very dangerous even if a tiny speck lands up in your eyes. Worse yet, unprofessional DIY attempts could leave you with blackened hands and a dyed sink for a whole week! To avoid all the things that can go wrong with doing it yourself, you should settle into one of our comfy Ombré Beauty chairs while we do it all for you.
How long does eyebrow tint last?
Eyebrow tints performed by professional brow and beauty artists can last for a month or up to six weeks. The semi-permanent dye will eventually fade over time, and this mostly depends on how your brow hair naturally grows out on its own. It’s also about how well you take care of your tinted brows because that can elongate the colour vibrance longevity. Try not to worry though because one of our qualified brow specialists will help you navigate the necessary after-care and give you an idea of how soon you may need a maintenance appointment. They may give you some of the following advice:
Tips to make your eyebrow tint last longer
Leaving them alone helps
This is the easiest way to ensure that the dye does its work of settling deeply into the fibres of your brow hairs. Touching them rigorously to scratch brush or wash your brows straight after a brow tint appointment is counterproductive. Jumping straight into the pool after an appointment is also a bad idea but we think you get the point.
Rely on a professional and cut the DIY
The longest-lasting eyebrow tints are always the ones done by a professional expert. Those at home dyes are miles away in quality and you won’t get the benefit of professional application or on-site colour matching.
Use specialist brow products suggested by a pro
You regularly condition and moisturize the hair growing out of your scalp, so why not do the same for your eyebrows? Speak to an expert and they may suggest serums or other products that help to prolong the pigment of your eyebrow tint. Some of them can also help in the way of rebuilding and strengthening your beloved brows.
What not to do after an eyebrow tinting?
Now that we’ve gone through the DOs for prolonging the stunning vibrance of your tint, let’s go through the DON’Ts.
- Exfoliating creams and other harsh skin products need to be avoided for a few days after the treatment. These products have chemicals that strip away at the outer layer of your skin, and this can affect the colour
- Though it may be hard to resist, try to avoid touching them too much, that also means avoiding excessive brushing.
- Avoid going the DIY route if it is your very first time because the products can be harmful if they come into contact with your eyes at all.
- Coming back for a touch up too soon is also not advised. If you are tinting once a week, you may be eating away at the thickness of your brows and deal with thinning.
Find a specialist that you trust
Eyebrow tints are both a good and bad thing in that they help to make you feel more confident but also that you may discover you can’t live without them. For you to enjoy consistent and reliable eyebrow treatment services, you need to find a reliable service provider. Take the time to evaluate your options and don’t be afraid to keep looking around. It’s also important to remember that every self-proclaimed “beauty bar” isn’t necessarily a brow shape and tint expert. Communication is key when it comes to finding an eyebrow tech that can always deliver on your desired colour and brow shape. The client is always right so make sure to be clear with what you want and what your goals are for your brow journey. Any good upstanding treatment centre will make sure to keep this in mind and suggest all the options available to you. That’s exactly what you will get with Ombré Beauty because custom brow artistry is a personal passion of ours and we want you to enjoy the results of this specialisation.
