FAQs

What is the difference between eyebrow threading and tinting? ›

Threading involves using a thin thread to remove unwanted hair and create precise lines, while tinting adds color and depth to the brows. Together, they can take your brow game to the next level, leaving you with a stunning and effortless look that lasts for weeks.

The tint will further define your refreshed, threaded brows and make that lovely shape pop even more.

How Often Should You Get Your Brows Threaded? While the rate of regrowth is individual, clients typically get their eyebrows threaded every two to three weeks, says Dahiya. Because the process actually removes singular hairs from their roots, the results can last just as long as waxing.

Eyebrow tinting lasts between 3-8 weeks, with most choosing to have theirs redone monthly. It's a low cost and fast beauty treatment, which can be done professionally at home, so a regular schedule is easy to keep up with.

Side effects

With threading, you may feel a tugging, burning sensation during the procedure, especially when the specialist is working on particularly sensitive areas of your face. You can also expect some redness, irritation and, potentially, even moderate swelling in the hours after the procedure.

Usually, no. Eyebrow tinting is relatively safe, as long as there are no harmful chemicals used in the dye. However, if you don't do a patch test beforehand and it turns out you're allergic to one of the dye ingredients, it could cause burning, irritation and, in severe cases, eyebrow hair loss.

If you've prepped your skin nicely the day before your session, don't clog it up again with makeup before your appointment. It's best to avoid wearing any makeup on your eyebrows and eyelids whatsoever. You should also avoid wearing mascara if possible.

How Long After an Eyebrow Tint Can I Shower? Keeping your eyebrows dry for 24 hours after your tinting service is recommended. This means anything that might saturate your brows with moisture like a long shower or underwater swimming should wait until after the 24-hour period.

Avoid exposing freshly-threaded brows to direct sunlight, steam or chlorinated water for 24 hours. The area is highly sensitive post-threading and sun exposure can cause inflammation or sunburn.

For ones with thicker and unshaped eyebrows, waxing will provide a good framework for a great brow and get rid of more hair quicker. Threading is a fine choice for ones just trying to keep a basic natural shape and get rid of a few short hairs.

How long should you wait to wash your eyebrows after getting them tinted? ›

To avoid this, be sure to keep your face dry for 12 hours after getting your brows tinted — this includes washing your face and showering. You'll also want to avoid rubbing your face or applying oil-based products for the first 24 hours.

The Process Is Quick

They'll use a thread to carefully pull your eyebrow hairs out of your skin, a few at a time. They will go over each area until they're satisfied with the overall shape of your brow.

Don't panic! Your day one eyebrow tint will be lighter tomorrow. When a tint is first applied to your brows it can appear surprisingly darker than envisaged.

Does eyebrow tint fill gaps? Yes, eyebrow tinting can help fill in small gaps and give the appearance of fuller, more defined brows. However, it's important to note that eyebrow tinting does not add any actual hair to the brows, but rather enhances the existing hair for a more defined look.

While upkeep may be more frequent due to fading color, henna is the best option if you are looking for a 100% natural way to darken your eyebrows, as even vegetable-based dyes contain some chemicals, Garcia explains. Avoid over-cleansing around the eyebrow area to keep henna from fading too fast.

The Pros. 'Waxing is instant, provides good results and is widely available,' says Riley. 'It is suited for clients that find threading and tweezing very painful. The hairs can grow back softer and finer with regular usage.

In summary, Brow Henna is ideal for those with really sparse brows looking for a long-lasting stain on both the brow hairs and skin and willing to spend a lot more time in the salon for the procedure.

What is brow Dye? Bronsun dye creates more depth of colour, (quite similar to henna) colouring the hair and skin compared to tint, which will only dye the hair. Both options can cover greys or create darker, more defined brows.

Brow dye lasts longer as it remains on the brow hairs for 4-6 weeks. It also slightly stains the skin to help “fill in the gaps” for a fuller looking brow. The stain on your skin can last up to 2 weeks. Similar to brow tint, you can choose a more dramatic brow dye effect or opt for a more natural finish.
