Brow Henna basics: What you need to know
Let’s start with the basics. Brow Henna is dye made from natural components that’s changing the game in brow styling. Unlike traditional tints, Brow Henna doesn’t just color the brow hairs—it also lightly stains the skin underneath, giving the appearance of fuller, more defined brows.
One of the best things about Brow Henna is how long it lasts. The color can stay on the skin for up to two weeks and on the brow hairs for up to six weeks, depending on your skin type and how well you care for it. This makes it a great choice for anyone who wants fuller brows without the need for constant touch-ups!
Brow Henna is also a gentler option, as it’s free from harsh chemicals like ammonia and lead. Plus, it comes in a range of shades, so you can easily find the perfect match for your or your client’s natural color.

How to make brows fuller with Brow Henna
Now that you know the basics, let’s dive into the steps to create fuller, more defined brows using Brow Henna. Keep in mind, these techniques and products are intended for professional use, ensuring your clients get the best results possible.
- Prep the Brows with Pro Cleanser: Start by thoroughly cleaning the brows using our Pro Cleanser. This essential step removes any oils, makeup, or impurities, ensuring that the Brow Henna adheres properly and delivers long-lasting results. Remember - with Brow Henna, preparation is the key.
Tip #1: For an extra clean canvas, also use our Prep Peel Gel to exfoliate the skin below the eyebrow.
- Map the brows: Before applying the henna, it’s crucial to outline the desired brow shape. If you’re new to brow mapping or want to refine your skills, check out our Brow Mapping Online Course for expert tips and techniques. Brow mapping can really improve your brow game!
- Mix the Henna with Color Developer: For optimal results, mix the Brow Henna with our Color Developer. This combination creates a smooth, paste-like consistency that’s easy to apply and ensures consistent color coverage. Let the henna sit for a few minutes before you apply.
Tip #2: Boost the Color with Color Booster: If your client prefers a more intense shade or if they have more oily skin, add a few drops of our Color Booster to the henna mixture. This enhances the color depth, helping you achieve even more vibrant, fuller-looking brows.
- Apply the Brow Henna: To ensure even application and avoid patchiness, try the stamping technique. After loading the brow brush with henna, gently stamp the brush onto the brows, starting from the tail and working towards the inner brow. This technique allows for more controlled application and helps build fuller coverage, especially in sparse areas.
- Develop time: Allow the henna to develop for the recommended time, usually between 10-20 minutes, depending on the desired intensity. The longer you leave it on, the darker the final result will be. It’s advised to remove the henna on the inside of the brows after 3-5 minutes for a natural ombré effect. This also gives you a sneak peek at how quickly the dye develops on the skin of your client. This is different for everybody.
- Remove the Brow Henna: Gently wipe off the henna with a damp cotton pad, starting from the inner brow and moving outward. If the color isn’t as intense as desired, you can always reapply for a deeper shade.
- Aftercare: To ensure the results last as long as possible, advise your clients to avoid oil-based products on their brows and to keep the area dry for the first 24 hours. You can find more aftercare instructions in our aftercare leaflets.

How to make sparse brows fuller
Sparse brows—those with gaps or thin spots—can be tricky to cover, even for the best professionals. Whether it’s due to over-plucking, genetics, or aging, sparse brows can make it challenging to achieve that full, defined look everyone loves. But here’s the good news: Brow Henna is a game-changer when it comes to transforming sparse brows.
To tackle those tough spots, focus on applying extra Brow Henna where the hair is thin or missing. By layering the Brow Henna in these areas, you can build up color and create the illusion of fuller, more uniform brows. And here’s a pro tip: leave the henna on those sparse areas a bit longer. This allows the color to really sink in and fill those gaps, blending seamlessly with the rest of the brow.
The result? Fuller, natural-looking brows that are beautifully balanced, even in the trickiest areas.
