The Ultimate Ciaobrow Henna Care & Application Guide

Bold, defined brows don’t start at the application—they start with prep. Whether you’re a seasoned artist or new to brow styling, the right tools, products, and techniques can make or break your results.

Ciaobrow Henna offers a complete suite of professional products designed to deliver richly pigmented, long-lasting brows. This guide covers everything you need: shade selection, prep, pro-level application, aftercare, and insider tips to take your brow game up a level.

Why Choose Henna Over Traditional Tints?

Henna is becoming the go-to solution for clients who want fuller, more defined brows with a natural look.

• Stains skin and hair: Perfect for sparse brows—henna fills in gaps by tinting both hair and underlying skin.
• Lasts longer: Ciaobrow Henna stains the skin for up to 7 days and the hair for up to 6 weeks.
• Gentle on skin: No hydrogen peroxide or ammonia required—ideal for sensitive clients.
• Customisable: Adjust shade blends and timing for tailored results.
• Natural-looking definition: Helps sculpt a full brow shape without daily makeup.

Henna bridges the gap between daily makeup and permanent options like microblading.

Pre-Treatment Must-Haves

Start with clean, prepped skin for maximum stain retention:

• Ciaobrow Brow Shampoo – Gently removes dirt, oil, and makeup.
• Ciaobrow Brow Scrub – Our ciaobrow lash lift exfoliates dead skin for deeper stain penetration.
• Ciaobrow Primer – Clears any residual oils to help pigment bond to skin.
• Mapping Thread & White Paste – For perfect symmetry and clean henna edges.

Mixing & Activating Like a Pro

• Ciaobrow Henna Enhancer – Activates pigment for stronger, longer-lasting stain.
• Measuring Scoop & Pipette – Ensures precise powder-to-liquid ratios.
• Dappen Dish – Mix to a smooth, soy sauce-like consistency.

Application Tools & Techniques

• Angled Brush – For clean lines and defined arches.
• Layering – Apply multiple thin layers, allowing each to dry before the next.
• Timing – Adjust based on skin type and desired intensity.

Pro Tips for Expert Results

• Adjust timing by skin type: Oily skin may need longer processing; dry or mature skin requires less.
• Use a wax pencil or white paste: Prevents bleeding and ensures clean edges.
• Press product in: Tap with a flat brush to embed pigment deeper.
• Let layers dry: Don’t rush—let each layer fully dry before the next.
• Tint the brow fronts last: For a soft ombre look, apply to the front of brows last or remove early.
• Use cooled green tea (if needed): A natural backup enhancer when you're out of product.
• Post-treatment balm: A light layer of aloe or non-greasy balm soothes and protects.
• Avoid water for 24 hours: Inform clients—no washing, sweating, or steam.
• Custom colour mixes: Blend shades to match hair tone and undertone perfectly.
• Use a detail brush for brow tails: Gives precision where it matters most.

Henna Storage & Shelf Life

• Seal tightly to prevent oxidation.
• Store cool and dry – away from heat, moisture, and sun.
• Use dry tools – moisture ruins powder.
• Monitor freshness – use within 6 months of opening.
• Check smell and texture – change it if it clumps or smells off.
