Tinting your brows doesn't just give you a pair of prettier brows - it also adds fullness, a clearer shape and can really make brow styling easier in the morning. Tinting your brows yourself at home is neither difficult nor complicated, and with our complete home tinting kit Brow Tint it's easier than ever. Here we teach you how to get started with coloring your brows yourself at home!
Step 1: Prepare
Before you start applying your brow color, make sure you have everything you need close at hand. We recommend having tops, wet cotton pads, paper and vaseline close at hand. Also, be careful to tie up the hair or use a hairband , so you don't accidentally get color in your hair in the middle of everything.
If you want to shape/pluck your brows in connection with your color treatment, it is important to always do the hair removal after you have dyed the brows, to avoid getting color in open, infection-sensitive hair follicles.
Step 2: Clean
Always clean the area around the brows and wipe dry before applying your brow color for best results. Oils from the skin or products, alternatively make-up residues left behind can cause the brow color to be uneven or not stick. We recommend using our Cleansing Foam to clean effectively and gently before you start.
Step 3: Vaseline
If you are new to brow colouring, applying Vaseline or an oily cream can be helpful to avoid color that comes outside your brow shape sticking to the skin. Using the feta cream, draw a thin line around the eyebrows where you don't want the color to stick; under, over and between the eyebrows, be careful not to get cream on the hair. Use our Duo Brush for extra precision or a regular brush as an aid.
Step 4: Mix the paint
Always mix equal parts 3% oxidant with amount of paint; for example 1 cm of color together with 1 cm of oxidant. Our new Brow Tint contains 15ml oxidant which activates the color and 3x5ml shades with color to mix as desired; Soft Brown, Deep Brown and Matt Black.
- Soft Brown = Light brown shade
- Soft Brown + Deep Brown = Medium brown shade
- Deep Brown = Dark brown shade
- Deep Brown + Matt Black = Black-brown shade
- Matt Black = Matt black shade
ATTENTION! Be sure to screw the cork properly onto the tubes to ensure a long shelf life. 3% Oxidant loses its strength if it is exposed to air for a long time.
Step 5: Apply the paint
Choose to apply your brow color with either an application stick or coil brush. Stickan gives a defined brow with clear lines, which suits you who want a clear shape and perfectly framed brows. The coil brush gives a fluffy and more natural result, perfect for those of you who want to start your color journey with a soft start, whether you do a Brow Lift with us or perhaps for male brows! Go in with a top to adjust the brow shape or to remove color that has come outside the brow.
Step 6: Waiting time
Depending on your desired intensity and durability, you can choose to wear the color differently for longer. Start clocking immediately upon application of the first brow.
3-4 min Gives a light toning effect - for those who only want a light refresh. The color lasts for approximately 1 week.
5-6 min Gives medium to natural coverage - for those who want a slightly deeper but still natural result. The color lasts for approximately 2-3 weeks.
8-10 min Deep and full coverage - for those who want an intensive, deep effect. The color lasts for approximately 3-4 weeks.
ATTENTION! If you have recently had a Brow Lift, the effect time should be shortened by 2-3 minutes. This is because the layers of hair in the hair have already been "opened" by the permanent liquid and the color then sticks much faster.
Step 7: Remove the paint
When your time is up, use a wet cotton pad to carefully remove the paint. Start with the brow that you first applied the color to, wait a little and then continue with the other brow to get an even coloring between the two. Be careful to ensure that no color remains in the brow. Feel free to brush through the brow with a coil brush to make sure that all the color is gone.
Step 8: Finish
Feel free to end your routine by plucking your brows to also get a nice shape. To moisturize and fix the brows, please use a brow serum or a brow gel; Our Care & Growth Serum and Clear Brow Gel both contain caring ingredients that strengthen, moisturize and give shine to the hair!
