Brow Aftercare Following Tinting

Defined and well-shaped brows are your calling card. But did you know that what you do in the salon is only about 60% of the result? The rest is all about how your client cares for their brows at home.

Fading Brow Tint?

Are your clients losing brow pigment faster than they should? This could be the reason. Often, the root of the problem is poor aftercare following the treatment. Make sure to educate your clients on how to care for tinted brows so that their next visit is just a quick colour boost.

Can You Get Your Brows Wet After Tinting?

Yes, but they should be extra cautious during the first 24 hours after tinting. Whether you're using traditional gel henna, powder henna, or modern brow dyes like ZOLA, remember the pigment takes a full day to stabilise. Clients should take care to:

• Avoid the brow area when washing the face
• Avoid saunas and swimming pools
• Be gentle during makeup removal

What to Use to Moisturise Brows?

Despite the myths that you shouldn’t touch your brows – there’s one golden rule: hydration! Dry skin can start to flake, taking the pigment with it.

To keep the colour rich and vibrant, proper aftercare is essential!

• Argan Regenerating Cream for Brows & Lashes by Thuya – an aftercare must-have. It smooths the hair cuticle and adds shine.
• Daily brushing – Gently brushing the brows keeps them neat and defined every day.

What to Avoid?

To make colour top-ups a breeze, advise your clients to avoid the following:

• DIY plucking – it can disrupt the shape and symmetry you’ve created.
• No rubbing – after washing the face, gently pat brows dry with a towel.
• Facial scrubs – exfoliation should be done carefully to avoid lifting the tinted skin layer.

Which Tint Should You Choose?

The product you choose plays a key role in the durability of the brow styling.
Choosing a brow tint should never be a random decision. Always consider your client’s brow condition, desired result, and the style of work you prefer.

• Something for mobile stylists – Working in clients’ homes? You know how important product portability is.

• Full shape and defined colour – Noble Brow Powder Henna delivers a natural and long-lasting effect. Perfect for creating an ombré look.
