Natural henna for eyebrows
Henna is prepared from the leaves of Lawsonia non-prickly, which grows in different regions from which it gets its name. The leaves contain natural dyes, chlorophyll gives a green tint and lawson gives an orange tint. Henna does not destroy hair or suppress natural pigment; it saturates eyebrows with natural dyes.
If the package says “natural henna”, this does not mean that the composition is 100% only from henna. Natural henna can only be colorless or red. All other shades are obtained by adding natural pigments (for example, basma or coffee), mineral pigments or chemical dyes.
How it happens and what materials are needed
The architecture of the eyebrows requires careful consideration of all parameters of the brow ridges, so the procedure requires a number of tools:
- removal of excess hairs can be done with tweezers or thread;
- manicure or small hairdressing scissors;
- a ruler to correctly determine the main parameters of the eyebrows;
- a brush that is used to comb hairs, giving them the desired direction;
- kit for coloring, lamination, if these procedures are intended;
- trimmer, cutting individual rods.
Selection of shape according to face type
Building an ideal arch requires attention to the individual characteristics of a woman’s face. Particular attention is paid to the shape; it should suit the type of face, of which there are several.
- Round: here you need a pronounced break, located directly above the pupil. The tip is made narrow, the base is widened.
- Triangular: a soft, arched break will help soften the lines.
- Pear-shaped: requires an increase in the distance in the bridge of the nose, this allows you to harmoniously adjust the existing proportions.
- Rectangular: designed with straight lines of arcs.
- Oval: any of the options is suitable, the main thing is to maintain the basic balance. A horizontal stripe looks good, with a small, barely noticeable bend.
- Diamond-shaped: upward, slightly raised lines are suitable here.
Selecting a bend point
Constructing the desired shape is impossible without selecting the main points. They help to accurately determine the structure of the arch and design it in accordance with the individual characteristics of a woman’s face.
The breaking point can completely change a woman’s appearance. It can be built according to different methods:
- French: a dot is placed near the outer edge of the iris. This scheme is ideal for styling hair on a round, square, triangular face;
- Hollywood: the technique involves the same definition of points as in the previous case. The only difference will be the displacement of the point towards the temple. To determine this point, you need to draw a visual line to the temple from the chin through the iris;
- Russian: here the peak of the fracture occurs in the area above the pupil. This option is suitable for round face types.

Working out the width and length
The overall appearance depends on the width and length, so changing these parameters must be approached with all responsibility. As a general rule, the width should be a quarter of the iris. If the eyes are small, take one third.
The length is selected based on the base:
- place the ruler vertically;
- mark a point on the forehead, it should coincide with the point of the tip of the nose;
- the end is measured with a horizontal line running from the base at the same level.
Eyebrow correction with thread
The use of thread - threading, is a technique for removing unwanted hairs, which has been known since ancient times. This method is simple and painless, but its implementation requires a little skill.
To carry out the necessary manipulations, you need to prepare a piece of strong thread approximately 50-60 cm long. It is better to choose cotton raw material; silk will be stronger, but will begin to slide, which will complicate the whole process, preventing it from tightly gripping the hairs.
Pulling out vegetation with a thread involves creating a strong grip on it in a loop.
The thread works like this:
- treat the area of future exposure by treating it with an alcohol-containing product;
- steam the cover a little by covering it with a towel dipped in hot water;
- dry the affected area;
- fold the thread in half and tie a knot;
- put the thread on the thumbs and forefingers, stretch to get a circle;
- twist the thread several times (up to ten) to get two loops, one smaller, the other larger;
- apply the twisted part of the raw material to the hairs, place the loop above them;
- stretch the small loop, which will narrow the large one and trap vegetation;
- pull out the rod with a sharp movement;
- repeat with the entire zone;
- At the end of the procedure, treat the entire area with an antiseptic.
Eyebrow architecture by trimming
Eyebrow architecture step-by-step training involves cutting off too long hairs using scissors. You can determine the need for such a procedure by using a comb. The vegetation is combed downwards, then upwards; if they do not go beyond the general contour, then no manipulations are necessary. When the hairs go beyond the border, you need to remove the excess.
The hairs are cut in the direction opposite to their growth, holding the tool parallel to the arc.
Haircut rules:
- there is no need to trim along the entire length; it will be sufficient to shorten those rods that go beyond the general boundaries;
- to get a symmetrical result, you need to sequentially process one line, then start working on another;
- During manipulations, you should not rush, try to shorten several hairs at once. This increases the risk of removing excess amounts, which will completely ruin the overall image;
- The haircut must be carried out before the main correction;
- Instead of scissors, you can use a trimmer; they also allow you to achieve the desired effect.

Eyebrow architecture with tweezers
To process the arches with tweezers, you only need the tool itself, a mirror and a sufficient level of illumination.
The work process goes like this:
- clean the skin, treat it with an antiseptic;
- determine the future contour by tracing it with a cosmetic pencil; if there are doubts about the correctness of the image, then use the template;
- Picking up hairs with a tool, remove one at a time;
- pull the skin a little to make the process easier;
- remove vegetation strictly in the direction of its growth;
- Upon completion of the manipulation, disinfect the skin, apply a moisturizer to soothe the skin and relieve any redness.
Types of henna for dyeing eyebrows
Henna is sold in the form of a dry powder that needs to be diluted with water. Depending on the country of origin, there are the following types:
• Iranian henna
- the most common and cheapest natural product. If no additional dyes are added to the composition, it has a color from brown-copper to orange-red.
• Indian henna
– has a more varied color palette: golden, bright chestnut, dark brown or burgundy. The most popular for eyebrow coloring.
• Sudanese henna
– has a rich copper color, suitable mainly for red-haired women.
• Egyptian and Kenyan henna
– are used much less frequently and also have red shades.
How to choose eyebrow color
To choose the right henna shade, you need to pay attention to the color of your hair, skin and eyes. If you have a spring or summer color type of appearance, then almost all shades of henna will suit you, but if you have an autumn and winter color type, you should pay attention to darker ones (dark brown, black) or paint your eyebrows with paint in cool shades, for example, graphite color. If the henna is cold in color, it means that a lot of additional pigments of mineral or chemical origin have been added to it.
Reviews about the procedure
Feedback from women about the procedure is mostly positive. Many women like eyebrow architecture, because a monthly visit to a cosmetologist allows you to completely get rid of the need for home treatments and makeup. Girls note that the salon dye lasts much longer than regular eyebrow dye, and the color remains rich. In addition, many do not have the skills to correct the shape correctly. A visit to an eyebrow specialist guarantees the absence of any mistakes.

pros
• Natural henna has a strengthening and protective effect on hair.
• Henna does not destroy the natural pigment of the eyebrows.
• The procedure can be done independently at home.
• Natural henna is diluted with warm water, not hydrogen peroxide.
Minuses
• Henna, like any natural product, can cause allergies, and combining it with chemical pigments can intensify the allergic reaction.
• Henna, unlike paint, needs to be kept on the eyebrows for a long time - from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the intensity of the color.
• Henna dries out and is difficult to wash off from the hair.
Contraindications and side effects
Tattooing can be done with paint.
Contraindications are as follows:

How is eyebrow architecture done?
Before you start tinting your eyebrows and creating a new shape, you should carry out correction and get rid of excess hairs. Basically, hair is removed using tweezers. However, in recent years, other methods of removing hair under the eyebrow have been used, such as waxing or sugaring. Some eyebrow masters are proficient in the oriental technique of hair removal using thread.
If there are no extra hairs, you just need to give the shape a neat look. For this, ordinary scissors are used. The hair is combed upward and trimmed evenly.
How to remove henna from eyebrows
If the result is not pleasing or the color you get is too rich, then henna can be washed off from the eyebrows using a special remover to remove pigment and paint, or use folk advice. The safest of them is to wash your face with a cleanser and use a scrub; you can also wipe your eyebrows with lemon juice or hydrogen peroxide. But it is best to purchase a special product, with the help of which you can also remove blemishes during coloring - you will not need to apply a greasy cream around the eyebrows, and if henna gets there where it is not needed, then wash it off with a remover.
The Rule of Correct Architecture
Eyebrow architecture is always built according to the principles of geometry. Three points are taken as a basis: the beginning of the eyebrow, the bend (the highest point) and the end of the eyebrow. These zones are defined by marking lines:

• Highest point (bend): a line at an angle from the wing of the nose to the middle of the pupil;
• Tip: an angled line from the side of the nose to the end of the eyebrow.
You can mark these lines using any available object: pen, ruler, pencil, etc.
