“Wash your brows with the shampoo and let them dry naturally; the henna coloring should lighten in a few days.” But if the esthetician used hair color, “do not try to correct them at home unless you want to risk orange or gold brows, which is worse than dark brows,” says Renella.
You asked, why are my henna brows so dark? Why are all the pictures of henna so dark? Most of the pictures we share look dark because the Henna tint is still on. This is because most of our clients CHOOSE to leave their henna on. Once the Henna is brushed out, the result is much softer and no where near as dark.
Additionally, how long does it take for henna brows to fade? Traditionally the stain on the skin from henna brows can last 1-2 weeks and the dye on eyebrows lasts 6-8 weeks, which is significantly longer than traditional tints that only last around 4 weeks. With regards to how long the henna lasts on the skin, it really depends on the client’s skin type.
Beside above, how can I lighten my dark tinted eyebrows? For a super quick fix on-the-go, use mineral makeup, or pressed powder on your brows to dial down the colour of the tint. You could also use a brow gel in a lighter shade to help add some lightness to your brows.
Moreover, how can I lighten my eyebrows at home? Mix equal parts lemon juice and water and spritz the mixture on your brows. You can also dip a cotton swab in the mixture and apply it that way. The sun activates the lightening properties of the lemon. You’ll get the best results if your brows are already a warm brown and you just want to lighten them a shade or two.
