How long does henna brow last?

Quick Answer

Henna brows last approximately 2-4 weeks on the skin and up to 6 weeks on the hair itself. The longevity depends on your skin type, aftercare routine, and lifestyle factors like sun exposure and skincare products used.

### Understanding Henna Brow Longevity Henna brow tinting offers a unique two-layer staining effect that sets it apart from traditional tinting methods. The natural henna formula penetrates both the skin beneath your brows and the hair strands themselves, creating a fuller, more defined appearance that gradually fades over time. The dual-layer staining means you'll notice the colour fading in stages. First, the skin staining begins to lighten after about 7-10 days, depending on your skin type. Oily skin types may see faster fading as the natural oils break down the henna pigment more quickly. The hair staining, however, remains vibrant for significantly longer—typically 4-6 weeks—similar to traditional brow tinting but with richer, warmer tones. ### Factors That Affect Henna Brow Duration Several key elements influence how long your henna brows will maintain their freshly-tinted appearance: **Skin Type Impact**: Those with dry skin often enjoy longer-lasting results, with skin staining lasting closer to 3-4 weeks. Oily or combination skin types may see the skin stain fade within 10-14 days, though the hair colour remains intact. **Aftercare Practices**: The first 24-48 hours are critical. Avoiding water, steam, and oil-based products during this period allows the henna to fully develop and set. Once the initial setting period has passed, using oil-free cleansers around the brow area and avoiding exfoliating products can extend the life of your henna brows by up to a week. **Lifestyle Considerations**: Frequent swimming, especially in chlorinated pools, heavy sun exposure, and regular use of facial oils or retinol products near the brow area will accelerate fading. If you're planning a beach holiday or have a very active lifestyle, schedule your henna brow appointment accordingly. ### Maintenance and Touch-Ups For consistently groomed brows, most clients return for henna brow treatments every 3-4 weeks. This timing allows for a subtle refresh before the colour fades significantly, maintaining that polished, defined look without gaps in coverage. Between appointments, you can support colour longevity by applying a thin layer of castor oil to the brow hairs (avoiding the skin) to keep them conditioned and the colour vibrant.
