So, you’ve just stepped out of your brow appointment, and your fresh henna brows are giving main character energy—bold, defined, and effortlessly flawless. But how do you keep that fresh, full look for as long as possible? As a brow expert, I'm here to spill the tea on how to make your brow henna go the extra mile in 2024.

‍

1. The Prep Game is Strong

Your brow henna journey starts before the appointment. To ensure maximum color hold, gently exfoliate your brow area the day before to remove dead skin cells. Clean skin equals better pigment absorption. Trust me, it’s like giving your brows a clean slate to soak in all the color!

2. Say No to Oils

Henna and oil? Not a good combo. After your brow henna session, avoid oil-based skincare products around your brow area. Oils can break down the pigment faster. Stick to water-based or gel cleansers, and you'll keep your brow game strong for weeks.

3. Avoid Getting Them Wet

For the first 24-48 hrs, keep your brows dry! This means no steam facials, sweaty workouts, or long, hot showers. Water can cause the henna to fade prematurely before it’s fully set.

4. Use Gentle Cleansers

After the first two days, you can wash your face, but be gentle around your brows. Avoid harsh scrubbing or exfoliants that could strip the color. Your henna will thank you!

5. Moisturize Smart

Hydrated skin holds pigment longer, but skip the heavy creams on your brows. Opt for lightweight, non-oily moisturizers that won’t interfere with the henna. Bonus tip: a dab of aloe vera gel is perfect for keeping that brow skin moisturized without risking color fade.

‍

6. Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure

Just like your skin, your henna brows can fade faster with too much sun exposure. If you're spending time outdoors, wear a hat or sunglasses to protect those gorgeous arches from UV damage.

7. Hands Off!

I know it’s tempting, but don’t touch or rub your brows. The more you mess with them, the quicker they’ll fade. Hands off, and let your brows live their best life!

The Final Word: Brow Henna That Lasts
