Eyebrow biotatuage: features and technique

Recently, women refuse all non-natural, preferring naturalness. So the usual tattoo has been replaced by biotatuazh, which is performed in a completely different technique.

Bio-tattoo is a brow coloring using Iranian henna. With its help, you can not only increase the intensity of hair color, but also completely change their shade, as well as correct the shape of the eyebrows. In general, henna dyeing is not much different from the usual dyeing paint, with the exception of shape correction. The paint, unlike henna, does not adhere well to the skin.

Also, the effect obtained after staining with henna looks similar to the tattoo. Technologies are applied completely different. If the classic tattoo tattoo paint is injected under the skin, then when biotatuazh skin structure is not affected at all, the epidermis is not injured.

Biotatuage differs from ordinary dyeing by dye. If in the first case specialized paints are used, in the second - henna-based dye. It does not have to be henna in its purest form. Nevertheless, the natural composition of nature is preserved.

Henna is made from leaves of lustonia shrub. They are dried and crushed. Laustonia grows in different eastern countries, as well as in Africa, in India. It is important that the master knows where his henna comes from, since samples do not always turn out to be of high quality. Most use henna of Iranian origin, as dyes from Iran are resistant, lie flat and evenly stain the entire surface.

Shades can be completely different, ranging from light brown and ending with black. A particular color depends on the method of production of henna, on how it was crushed and dried. It should be borne in mind that the most natural tones can be obtained by mixing dyes of several shades. Masters, as a rule, have only four basic colors.

If the procedure was carried out correctly, then the maximum natural effect is achieved. A layman cannot understand whether your eyebrows are colored or that is their natural color. Due to the application not only on the hairs, but also on the skin, the result will last for a long time. At the same time, henna is washed off the skin evenly, at the same time, the hairs will keep staining for a longer period.

However, henna staining is used not only for aesthetic purposes, but also for medical purposes, as it has a beneficial effect on the growth of hairs. The bulbs become stronger and the hairs thicker and thicker. At the same time, the hairs themselves begin to shine and become well-groomed.

So, if we talk about the differences in staining with henna from staining with paint, we can distinguish the following:

• henna dye is completely natural;
• after biotatuage, the hairs shine and generally look healthier;
• there is no risk that inflammation will occur, which is usually caused by ordinary paint;
• biotatuazha cost is lower than when painting with paint.

The same applies to the correction. If you want to prolong the effect after visiting the salon, you need to purchase high-quality henna and then simply tint your eyebrows as you wash off the dye.

You can change the form immediately after the procedure, if necessary. You can reduce or increase the color intensity. In the case of the classic permanent makeup, this luxury is not available: the corrective procedure can be carried out at least in a month, and then no significant changes can be achieved. Also, after biotatuage, there will be no “crusts” that are usual after a permanent procedure. You can sunbathe immediately after henna dye your eyebrows.

Like any cosmetic procedure, biotatuazh has its pros and cons. Start with a pleasant one. So, the advantages of eyebrow biotatuage are as follows:

• This is a completely safe procedure. Since natural dyes are used for dyeing, they are significantly less harmful than chemicals. All this allows you to paint the eyebrows of girls of any age, except pregnancy and adolescence. And in fact, and in another case, the effect of the procedure is impossible to predict, because, due to the unstable hormonal background, it can be both very successful and very bad.
• No side effects. After staining with henna, there are neither crusts nor redness, and during the procedure there are no painful sensations. In this regard, it does not take time to recover from biotatuazha. You can immediately sunbathe, wet your eyebrows with water or pull out.

• A large palette of shades. You can always choose exactly the color that is needed. Please note that if you have dyed hair, the brow color should be a tone darker than the main hair color for blondes and two shades lighter for brunettes. In case you only want to deepen the color a little, ask the master to mix you henna so that the color matches your natural one. On the hairs it will look darker.
• The possibility of immediate correction. If the procedure was carried out, but the result did not satisfy you, you can immediately adjust the appearance of the eyebrows. This concerns not only the shape, but also the intensity of color and shade. If you do not like something, you can always scrub the paint from the skin and "draw" the eyebrows again.

• The benefits of the procedure. Henna is considered an excellent nutrient not only for hair on the head, but also for eyebrows. It strengthens the bulbs and nourishes the hair, making them shiny, increasing the thickness and saturation. It is recommended to do biotatuage even for those whose eyebrows are damaged (for example, if you plucked out your eyebrows for a long time, and then you wanted to change their shape, but the hairs do not grow in some places).
• Aesthetic appeal. Eyebrows, painted with henna, look natural and volume, which can not be achieved with a classic permanent tattoo. Due to the fact that henna is washed off evenly, you will not have problems with bald spots and bright spots on the eyebrows. However, it should be borne in mind that the natural dye on the hairs lasts longer than on the skin, so it is recommended to carry out a correction in a timely manner.

This method has a lot of disadvantages too:

• Biotatuazh - a procedure that lasts a considerable period of time, so you need to be ready to spend 2-3 hours on it. Apart from the fact that the master needs to create the architecture of the eyebrows and prepare them for painting, the paint itself will have to be kept from forty minutes to an hour depending on what intensity you want to get the color.
• The effect of biotatuazh temporary and lasts not a very long time, when compared with permanent tattoo. In defense of biotatuage, it must be said that henna is held no less than ordinary paint, and has many more useful properties.
• Eyebrow biotatuzh faster washed off the skin than hairs. This is especially important for those who have asymmetrical eyebrows and the master had to change their shape to make them the same. Unfortunately, to prevent this moment will not work, and the only means - timely correction.
• To biotatuzh lasted longer, you will have to carefully care for him. However, all care is limited to applying oil before bedtime. This further nourishes the hairs and makes them stronger. This procedure can be neglected, if it is not your goal to maintain the intensity of the color and you, on the contrary, want your eyebrows to fade.
• Also, to prevent leaching and rapid loss of color, you will not be able to use scrubs, rich creams, visit baths and saunas, or expose your face to the open sunshine. This is not a mandatory recommendation.

As with any natural remedy, there are contraindications for henna. Fortunately, they are few. Biotatuazh - the procedure is gentle, and there are no special restrictions for it.

If you are naturally prone to allergic reactions, especially skin, then there is a high probability that you will be allergic to henna. Since it is applied to the face - one of the most sensitive areas, then you first need to carry out a test in order to find out if you are tolerating this natural dye well or not.

The test must be done on the arm, closer to the elbow. It is necessary to apply henna on the inside of the elbow bend on thin skin with an abundance of veins. You need to apply a thick layer. Next, you need to wait until the henna is completely dry, after which the composition is carefully removed from the skin. Please note that in no case should you scrape dry henna. It is best to use a cotton pad and micellar water.

After this simple test, observe your reaction. If during the day there is no irritation, redness or rash, then this means that you have no allergies.

Keep in mind that many allergies do not appear right away. Do not neglect the daily window. Testing henna for an hour or just before the procedure is a bad idea, which is fraught with spoiled appearance and health problems.

This category includes all the scratches, cuts, abrasions that are on your eyebrows. Be sure to inspect the face for any. Also, it is not recommended to carry out aggressive peeling or scrubbing procedures, as it is possible to damage the epidermis.

This category does not include piercing, if it was done once a long time ago and healed well. If the piercing was done recently or the skin in that place is not quite healthy (for example, pus or other bodily fluid oozes out of the holes, there is an unpleasant smell), then it is recommended to abandon the eyebrow biotatuage procedure and return to these thoughts after piercing will be healed.

If a pregnant or young mother is not allergic, then in theory she can be biotatuazh. The dye does not penetrate into the blood, so no harm to the baby will not be applied. However, experienced masters advise to abandon biotatuazha during this period, as unstable hormonal background can contribute to the unpredictability of the result. One of the clearest examples is a strange reaction to a natural dye.At best, the eyebrows will turn out to be a brighter or lighter shade, and at worst - the color will be green. Another possible outcome is that henna will stain on the skin and hairs.

Due to the unstable hormonal background, it is recommended to abandon the procedure and adolescents aged 13 to 16 years, as in their case, it is also likely to get green eyebrows. It is better to consider an alternative option - ordinary paint.

Today the market offers a huge amount of henna for biotatuazha. Some funds belong to the economy class, others - to the class Lux. But the most important thing is to focus not on price, but on reviews. Only they show the real state of things: how easy it is to apply paint, how long it lasts, how well it mixes with other shades from this manufacturer or from other brands. Here is a list of henna-based paints, which are most often chosen by professional craftsmen for their work.

Henna Brow is one of the leading companies in the biotatuage industry. It produces high-quality henna, reviews of which are only positive. The product is praised by both professionals and amateurs for ease of application and durability.

According to the manufacturer, this henna is used to restore and treat damaged and weak hairs, and the decorative component is just a nice bonus. Remarkably, henna from Viva Henna is designed not only for biotatuage of eyebrows, but also for making drawings on the body in the mehendi technique.

When using henna from this manufacturer, you need to follow a few rules. So, it will be impossible to moisten eyebrows with water for two hours after the procedure. This negatively affects the persistence biotatuazha. It is also not necessary to wait for the complete drying of the dye. If you plan to only deepen the color a bit, then you need to wash the henna after 20 minutes have passed.

The dye is available in two shades:

• black;
• brown.

By mixing these two basic colors, you can achieve any kind of color intensity.

For many, the big problem is the lack of choice of sub-colors. So, it is possible to get only warm shades. Therefore, henna of this brand is not suitable for everyone, because the overwhelming majority of Russian women are fair-haired, having cold grayish undertone of hair.

Nila Brow is a Ukrainian brand. The manufacturer claims that its henna is completely hypoallergenic. The choice of shades is small: in the palette there is only black and brown. The composition includes not only henna, but also Basma, with the help of which the hue is varied.Due to additional additives, such as citric acid, soapstone and other things, the manufacturer managed to ensure that the paste dries out slowly, good coloring the skin.

Additionally indicated that it is not recommended to exercise after the procedure. This may contribute to perspiration, and the resistance of the pattern is greatly reduced. However, after a couple of hours after the procedure, all restrictions are removed.

Additionally, you should pay attention to the method of cooking henna. A typical mistake is to use boiling water for pouring, this can not be done. The paint will change its chemical properties, consistency, as a result, it will be inconvenient to work with it. On top of that, the drawing will turn out faded, dull.

Be sure to respect the proportions of henna and water, indicated by the manufacturer on the package. If the mixture is too thick, it will be inconvenient to apply. Too liquid solution will crack, resulting in a clear contour, which is so important in biotatu eyebrows, can not be obtained.

Manufacturer Godefroy offers professional solutions for visage eyebrows that can be translated into the home. Paint henna is so called because it is already sold in a diluted form. All that remains is to use it for its intended purpose, following the instructions on the package.

When adding paint in the “Graphite” shade to any of the other sub tones, it becomes cold gray. Initially, all brown shades have a warm reddish undertone.

To make henna more durable, it is recommended to dilute it not with water, but with a special emulsion. It allows biotatuazha stay on the skin longer, and also makes the effect more natural. At the same time, eyebrows become well-groomed. During make-up, it will take no more than a minute to care for them. All you need to do - comb them and, possibly, fix the gel.

Henna, produced by the Nivali brand, is very different from its counterparts on the market. This is due not to its properties, but to the packaging and color palette. Henna Nivali is available in the following colors:

• Orange;
• red;
• brown;
• the black;
• green;
• blue;

Like some previous samples, henna Nivali is versatile. It is suitable for biotatuage eyebrows, and for mehendi drawings. You can also use it for coloring eyelashes.

Judging by the reviews, this sample is not very durable, so it will be necessary to make a correction every fifteen weeks without fail.

As for the financial side, a henna tube costs about 1,300 rubles, and a marker - 1,250 rubles. Their volume is the same.

The manufacturer warns the buyer not to leave the cap open, as the product dries quite quickly.Also, do not leave the container under the open sunlight. If the tubes are opaque and the damage is not so great, then the henna in transparent markers can greatly change the light under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.

Henna from Kodi Professional is loved by many masters. Due to its ease of operation, high durability, and the absence of side effects, it gained such an arrangement. The color palette is average:

• black;
• brown;
• redhead ("Foxy");

Henna is sold as a powder in bottles with different weights:

• 5 g;
• 10 g;

Henna from Kodi Professional is designed exclusively for biotatu eyebrows.

This brand offers inexpensive means for biotatuazh, having great success among girls who do biotatuazh at home. After all, the choice of a good material for biotatuazha is already half the success.

The manufacturer claims that the paint is kept on the skin and on the hairs up to a month. In this case, henna is endowed with all the caring properties. It strengthens the hair follicles, and the hairs themselves make them smooth, shiny, and also thickens them.

• the black;
• dark brown;

All colors are natural, so it is best to use them for combination with unpainted hair. You can mix the dyes with each other to obtain the desired color.

A negative point is the need to use a fixer. Without it, henna will not hold well, will quickly be washed off from the skin and hairs. The fixer is purchased from the same company, but you can use any other. However, Irisk products complement each other perfectly, besides, the fixer costs a little from this company.

As for the price, the four gram tube of henna costs an average of 280 rubles.

Armed with all this knowledge, you can find the right henna for biotatuage. If you go to the salon, be sure to ask what makeup the master works on. If he called any brand that is not included in this list, be sure to read reviews about it. Also check the country of origin, remembering that the best henna comes from India and Iran.

The process of biotatuazha proceeds in several stages. The technique of performing step by step can be described as follows.

First, you must properly prepare the skin and hairs for subsequent staining. To do this, you need to wash your eyebrows well with a sedative, while checking for the presence of abrasions and inflammations. In case of their discovery from the procedure, it is better to refuse until complete healing.

Next you need to perform a soft peeling. There are many exfoliating agents on sale that have been developed specifically for the preparation of eyebrows for biotattoo. However, you can use the usual scrub, making sure that it does not injure the delicate skin.

Scrub can be made from scrap materials. As a light peeling, you can use candied honey. It is necessary to put a little on the steamed skin of the eyebrows and around them and leave for five minutes. After that, within one minute you need to scrub the skin. Then honey is carefully washed off.

Another option is the use of sea salt. It will suit girls suffering from the problem of hair ingrowth. It is necessary to grind ordinary sea salt (better to take food) in a coffee grinder to a state of dust. Then about a teaspoon of salt dust is mixed with your usual facial cleanser and applied to the steamed eyebrow skin, after which you need to carefully scrape the skin.

In conclusion, you must carefully degrease the eyebrows and treat them with an antiseptic.

After the eyebrows are prepared, you need to slightly adjust their shape. No need to strive to remove all hairs.

In the cabin this is the master. As for home use, you need to consider the following. For the most part, henna is sold in powder form. If you bought henna in a tube, then you are lucky - you do not have to bother with breeding and cooking.

Henna powder must be diluted according to the instructions. Usually use water, but often have to use a special emulsion-activator. If the instruction states that it is necessary to dilute it with an emulsion, do not neglect this. There is a high probability that you will get completely different results than you would expect if you spread henna with water.

Many manufacturers recommend to dilute the powder by adding water to obtain the consistency of thick cream. In this case, it is better to use an ordinary medical syringe, giving water in portions. So it will be possible to control the flow of water and not make the solution accidentally too liquid.

After the henna is cooked, it can be painted eyebrows. Pay attention to another important point: it is freshly prepared henna that is applied and holds best. The effect of using the old mixture will not be so attractive.

First, it is recommended to perform a sketch with a pencil. It is not necessary to shade the entire eyebrow. It is enough to outline only the contour.

If you are unfamiliar with the basics of building the architecture of eyebrows or you are just too lazy to calculate and draw everything, then you can use stencils. They are applied to the eyebrows, and then just outlined with a pencil. The main difficulty here is to apply stencils as smoothly as possible. Not everyone can do it the first time, so it is recommended to practice beforehand.

The advantage of using this method is that you can draw any, even complex shape, while not worrying that the eyebrows will not be the same. It is only important to position the stencil correctly.

After the outline is drawn, apply henna, carefully taking care not to go beyond the outline. This will help you a few tips:

• Use special white paste. It is applied on the outer contour. Pasta has a thick consistency. It closes the skin around the contour, not allowing the dye to fall on it.
• Use a thin brush. The most convenient way to do eyebrow biotatuazh, using a specially designed for this thin brush. It will allow the most accurate to apply henna on the skin, making clear even the thinnest places.
• Start by filling in thin spots. All masters move from complex to simple. At first they fill henna with hard-to-reach and hard-to-stain places — the eyebrow tails, then they traverse the contour, and then fill the base of the eyebrow.Also pay special attention to drawing a break. It should be clear and neat.

Keep the mixture on the skin need from 40 minutes to an hour. At this time, it is advisable to lie down, since, when showered, henna can get into the eyes and cause irritation. It is also possible that during the procedure there will be discomfort: tightness and burning in the eyebrows. Do not be afraid of this, especially if you have conducted a preliminary test for allergies. The fact is that natural pigment often causes similar symptoms, because during dyeing the skin, from which the protective barrier is removed, is irritated. After removing the dye all the discomfort will disappear.

In principle, the coloring in the salon takes place in exactly the same pattern as the painting of the house, except for the fact that everything is handled by the master: henna breeding, drawing the future shape, eyebrow correction and coloring. Also the master can correct the result right in the process. Every 3-5 minutes he checks with a dry brush, how evenly his eyebrows are colored and how intense the color is.

If the master sees that the eyebrows are stained unevenly, he removes the henna layer and performs the whole procedure again. The same approach is used if you plan to make any of the parts of the eyebrow lighter (for example, when you need to achieve the effect of eyebrows made up with shadows).

Correction of eyebrows can be carried out by the master after biotatuazha. This is done in order to make the contour of the eyebrows more clear and give them a well-groomed look. In the future, it is desirable to independently carry out the correction on a regular basis, pulling out all the hairs that grow outside the contour.

In principle, no special care is provided after the procedure. There are several recommendations on how to make the effect last as long as possible:

• Use less detergent. No one denies that skin care is necessary, but try to make sure that as little as possible cleansing products fall on the eyebrows. They contribute to the washout of paint from the skin, thereby greatly reducing the duration of the effect after biotatuazha.

• The use of oils. Before washing, try to cover your eyebrows with something fat. Good for this fit peach, burdock oil, but amiss and budget option - petroleum jelly. They envelop the skin, not allowing moisture and cleansing agents to leak to the painted areas. Thus, it is possible to leave the usual care, and to preserve the resistance biotatuazha. Just do not forget, after washing, remove the oil with a dry cotton pad.

• Make a correction. Correction involves applying henna for 20 minutes, as soon as the color intensity begins to decrease. Usually, correction is required no more than once every 1.5-2 weeks. Carefully ensure that every time you get the same shade of paint. Then your eyebrows will always be in excellent condition.
• Do not rub the eyebrows. Scrubbing them, you thereby remove the top colored layer of the skin, so with excessive efforts you run the risk of removing your bio-tattoo immediately after the procedure. It is advisable not to touch the eyebrows at all.

Depending on skin type, care and other factors, the resistance of biotatuage varies.

The longest henna keeps on dry skin. It has little sebum, which helps remove pigment from stained places. However, one should not allow dry skin to peel off, as in this case the paint may go stained.

Normal skin keeps biatuazh for two weeks on the skin and up to six weeks - on the hairs.As a rule, there are no problems with care here, since normal skin is not prone to flaking, excessive sebum secretion, and the appearance of ingrown hairs.

The fastest henna is washed off from oily skin. In this regard, the owners of oily skin need to make a correction, summing up the circuit about once a week and a half. So, first the contour “floats”, and then the whole pigment leaves the skin. On the hairs, as in the case of normal skin, biotatuazh lasts up to one and a half months.

Mature skin holds the eyebrow biatuat better than the young. This is due to the fact that the exchange processes in mature code are slower, therefore, it is updated more slowly. If the average biotatuage time for young skin is about a couple of weeks, then on dry mature skin an excellent result can be observed up to a month.

Also on the resistance is affected by care. If you do not neglect the treatment of eyebrows with the help of oil, gently wash your face and do not use scrubs, then the effect will continue for a longer period. Also, do not sleep face in the pillow, because at night the skin is renewed more intensely, so the henna is erased more strongly.

If for any reason you are unhappy with what you got in the end, you can easily adjust the result. To do this, use one of the following methods:

• Light-skinned girls to get eyebrows dark enough, enough and one layer of henna. But the dark one needs to apply 2-3 layers before the color becomes quite intense. By applying several layers, you can easily deepen the color, and also make one part of the eyebrow lighter than the other, simply by applying a different number of layers to different parts.
• If you are unhappy with the resulting color, then it is easy to fix. In a situation where you get light eyebrows of the wrong shade, you can simply block them with a darker composition. As a result, he completely drowned out the previous one.

• In case the eyebrows are too dark, they can be easily washed off. To do this, use a special brush. But get ready for the fact that the procedure takes a lot of time. It is not recommended to rub eyebrows too intensively, as you can inadvertently damage the skin.
• If the resulting dark shade is not at all what it was originally intended, do not overlap it. In the end, you get black eyebrows. It is better to first scrub the existing color, and then dissolve the henna paint again and repaint. Keep in mind that in this case, the procedure may take 3-4 hours.
• If the result is only slightly different from the expected, then the best solution is to leave everything as it is. Dark eyebrows will be smoked in 2-3 days, and too light ones will need to be independently corrected in a week using the color that is needed.
