Want to know the secret to a long-lasting hybrid brow stain?
It’s not just the product—it’s the prep, application, and aftercare that make all the difference. Here’s how to help your clients get results that really last.
Step 1: Prep the Skin & Hair Properly
Start with a clean base.
-
Use a gentle brow shampoo or cleanser to remove makeup, oils, and residue.
-
Lightly exfoliate the skin under the brow area (we recommend our soft pre-treatment scrub or wipe) to help the dye grip better.
💡 Top Tip: Avoid using micellar water—it can leave a barrier on the skin that affects stain absorption.
Step 2: Mix and Apply Like a Pro
-
Mix ratio matters: Follow the correct ratio of Hybrid Dye to Developer (usually 1:1)
-
Use a precision brush for sharp lines and full saturation
-
Press the dye into the skin, not just the hairs, especially if the client wants a strong stain
🕒 Timing varies by shade—check the guide and always monitor during development, especially on dry or porous skin. Use our handy timer to keep track.
Step 3: Follow Aftercare Rules
The first 24–48 hours are crucial for stain longevity:
Do:
-
Keep brows dry
-
Avoid hot steam, makeup, and skincare around the brow area
-
Gently blot with tissue if needed—no rubbing
Don’t:
-
Use oils or exfoliants
-
Apply brow serums or creams directly over the dye
- Scrub or harshly wash the brows
How Long Should the Stain Last?
With proper care, clients can expect:
-
Skin stain: up to 7–10 days
-
Hair colour: up to 5–6 weeks
Longevity will vary based on skin type, brow prep, and aftercare.
Pro Tip:
For best results, provide an aftercare card with each treatment Hybrid Dye Aftercare Guide. It positions you as the expert and keeps their brows looking flawless for longer.
