Henna for eyebrows: good or bad idea?

Henna has been used for millennia across the world to strengthen hair and color skin. But henna would also have another equally effective use by reviving the natural color of the eyebrows.

Henna is a shrub that grows naturally in Africa and Asia. These benefits are known to coat the hair and strengthen it . But, could this plant also be beneficial for our eyebrows ? Discover the benefits of henna for eyebrows and how to use it properly.

What is eyebrow henna?

Henna for eyebrows is a plant-based eyebrow coloring , which attaches both to your hair and to your skin. This is why it is particularly effective in giving the illusion of fuller eyebrows .

Henna for eyebrows: for whom?

This type of henna is particularly suitable for people who have sensitive skin and who cannot tolerate chemical dyes . This plant-based coloring gives very good results in particular with people who have fairly full eyebrows , and who use it mainly to intensify their natural eyebrow color . It is therefore a good alternative to permanent makeup .

Indeed, for people with very sparse eyebrows , eyebrow henna will not necessarily be very effective, because its tint attaches mainly to the hairs of your eyebrows and less to your skin. This means that after just a few days, a change in color may already be visible. And, you will certainly have to correct your eyebrows with pencil for a more harmonious result.
