Henna or Hybrid?
Both are popular in the brow world but they work differently and offer unique results.
Here's a breakdown to help you decide which one to use and when.
What is Henna Brow Colour?
Henna Eyebrow Colour is a plant-based dye that stains both the brow hairs and the skin beneath. It’s known for giving a bold, tattoo-like stain, especially on oily or porous skin.
Pros:

Long-lasting skin stain (up to 10 days)
-
Natural product, ideal for those avoiding synthetic tints
-
Good option for filling gaps or sparse brows
Cons:
-
Cannot be used on lashes
-
Takes longer to process
-
Some clients may react to natural ingredients like lawsone

Can give a slightly warmer undertone

Hybrid Dye is a next-generation tint that combines the benefits of traditional brow tint with the staying power of henna—without the long processing time.

-
Fast processing (5–15 minutes)
-
Long-lasting colour on hair (up to 6 weeks)

Skin stain lasts 7–10 days
