Features and subtleties of performing the eyebrow hair tattoo
Unfortunately, not all women can boast thick and beautiful eyebrows. For this good reason, they are forced to look for a variety of options to achieve the desired effect. To create the desired shape, add volume and adjust the color of the eyebrows, girls often use an eye shadow palette and a pencil. But these cosmetics are not always able to provide long-lasting makeup, and sometimes at the end of the day there is no trace of it. To exclude such unpleasant situations, cosmetologists have developed a method for tattooing hair, which will help maintain a natural and unique appearance for a long time.
What it is.
Eyebrow hair tattooing is an innovative cosmetology session, the meaning of which is to apply dye pigment under the epidermis using a device with a sterile needle. The uniqueness of this type of eyebrow tattoo lies in the fact that a specialist draws each hair with light strokes. Thanks to this implementation of permanent makeup, the eyebrows retain their naturalness and give the appearance a special expressiveness.
This method is ideal for those who have:
- sparse and fine hair;
- irregular hair growth;
- irregular or asymmetrical shape;
- pronounced bald spots after illiterate use of tweezers;
- scars and scars that can only be concealed by cosmetic means;
- lack of free time for daily makeup.
The hair tattoo procedure is performed by two techniques.
- The first technique is called European. The execution technology consists of drawing identical hairs located in the same direction and at the same distance. The result is beautiful and voluminous eyebrows.The work of the master will consist of two significant stages: first, he will introduce a dark shade in a deeper layer of the skin, then a lighter shade, closer to the outer part of the epidermis.
If, when performing the usual type of permanent tattoo, the cosmetologist simply fills the selected area of the eyebrows with paint, then using the hair method applies pigment, drawing each line. The result is such a natural result that with the best lighting it will be almost impossible to recognize the presence of cosmetic interventions.
Advantages and disadvantages
Hair tattooing, like other cosmetic manipulations, has positive and negative sides. Before signing up with a specialist, you should thoroughly study all the nuances.
Let’s consider the main advantages of this process.
- With this permanent makeup technique, you can tidy up eyebrows of any length and thickness. The beautician will select a shape that will be in harmony with the type of color of your appearance.
- A great opportunity to mask scars and scarring in this part of the face.
- No more need to use a pencil and correct your makeup throughout the day. Now you can go to bathing complexes, swim in reservoirs, without worrying about cosmetics fading.
- The result after permanent makeup is preserved for a long time, so there is no need to adjust the eyebrows every day. This saves a lot of time.
- The appearance after tattooing will become more expressive and groomed, but at the same time it will look as natural as possible.
- It creates the visual effect of thick, symmetrical hairs.
- Quick and virtually painless procedure.
- Short-term rehabilitation period after manipulations.
- The appearance of scars from the hair technique is reduced to zero.
Every process has a downside.
It is important to be informed about the possible consequences and disadvantages of tattooing.
- The risk of getting a bad result. The desire to save money on cosmetic manipulations can play a cruel trick. Therefore, always choose salons and artisans carefully, so that you do not waste time and money later to remove unfortunate consequences. Correct the regrettable work, as a rule, with a laser, and this is a rather unpleasant process.
- Fear of pain. Many clients fear the painful sensation of injecting pigment under the skin. This is one reason why women do not choose permanent makeup. The masters anesthetize the eyebrow arch area with a special anesthetic cream. It removes most painful sensations, and during the application of the dye, the client feels only a slight tingling or tingling sensation. The hair technique is a safe but painstaking and lengthy cosmetological process. You have to endure a little discomfort and the result will not keep you waiting.
- Hair becomes thinner and grows more slowly. This happens because of bulb damage.
- When a woman gains weight, there is a risk of changing the shape of her eyebrows. This point also applies to women who are prone to severe swelling.
- With chronic diseases, there is a risk of increased blood pressure, blood glucose levels, the appearance of tissue edema, and allergies to pigment components.
Preparation for the procedure
Cosmetologists recommend following a number of recommendations before the eyebrow hair tattooing session.
- About a week before the procedure, start taking the medication “Ascorutin” and before going to bed, treat the eyebrow area with Troxevasin or Lyoton ointment. These medicines will help strengthen the walls of the blood vessels, which is very necessary for proper distribution of the dye pigment and rapid healing.
- Do not correct the shape of your eyebrows yourself on the eve of the procedure. Under no circumstances should you shave or pluck them with tweezers. The master will personally create a symmetrical shape and remove superfluous hairs.
- Do not schedule a permanent makeup session during your period. Hormonal background affects the duration of dye saturation.
- Do not drink alcohol and natural coffee, reduce consumption of tobacco products the day before visiting the salon.
- The hair technique procedure can be planned only one month after the injection measures and beauty injections.
- Chemical peeling is also undesirable to be performed at least 2 weeks before tattooing. This is because there is a risk of tissue damage from the acid that is part of the peel.
- With increased nervousness or anxiety, take sedatives, for example valerian extract or motherwort.
- Exclude prolonged exposure to sunlight. If this is unavoidable, sunscreen with the highest protection factor and sunglasses should be applied to the face. The ideal time of year to create permanent makeup is the fall-winter period.
- It is imperative to make sure of the professionalism of the master, study reviews of real clients and, if possible, talk to friends who have previously performed any procedure with him.
It is worth mentioning that there are a number of medical contraindications. in which the tattoo procedure is strictly prohibited. These include: pregnancy, breastfeeding period, exacerbation of allergic dermatitis, hemophilia (coagulation disorder), tuberculosis, diabetes mellitus type 1 and 2, venereal and dermatological diseases, papillomas and moles in the eyebrow region.
If you have a chronic illness, be sure to inform the beautician of this so that you do not harm your health and avoid negative consequences.
Application technique
The technique of performing hair tattooing is very similar to other modern permanent makeup techniques, but it has its own characteristics.
The process itself consists of several steps.
You should consider them in stages.
- The girl comes for a consultation with the chosen master. Together they select the appropriate shape and shade of the eyebrows. This takes into account all the girl’s data, namely: color type, face shape, eyes, nose, forehead height. The preferred hair tattoo technique is determined. The pigment color should be as close as possible to the shade of the girl’s natural hair, otherwise the result will look ridiculous and the eyebrows will be pronounced. When choosing a dye for blondes, it is necessary to remember that colors that are too dark and too bright will definitely ruin this area of the face. Blonde girls should be the most scrupulous when choosing a color combination. Some professionals use several tones of dye at the same time. This method will visually give more volume and density. The master applies the outline with a pencil. If the client likes the sketch of the future eyebrows, move on to the next step.
- The client sits on the couch, the hair is tucked under a disposable cap so that during the process the face is completely clear and nothing reaches the eyebrow arches. The eyebrows are treated with a disinfectant and lubricated with anesthetic cream.The area of the face treated with the cream is covered with plastic wrap for 20-25 minutes, during which time the anesthetic will have time to act and the client will not be injured at all in the future. At this time, the master prepares an instrument: an apparatus with a sterile needle. Be sure to ask to open the needle in your presence to make sure it is sterile.
- After all preparatory processes, the esthetician proceeds directly to drawing the eyebrows. With the prepared tool, the master picks up the necessary amount of dye and makes microperforations at a depth of about 1-1.2 mm, imitating individual hairs. Hardware tattooing is good because it does not require too deep an injection of dye under the epidermis. For example, unlike microblading, it does not cut or scar.
- Completing the above manipulations, the skin is thoroughly treated with antiseptic preparations, such as a chlorhexidine or miramistine solution. Next, a wound healing ointment is applied.
A permanent makeup session lasts no longer than 2 hours. After its conclusion, the region of the eyebrow arches turns red and slight tissue edema appears. This happens due to the mechanical action on the skin and is a completely understandable reaction of the body. After one day, the swelling and redness will disappear. The cosmetologist always provides part-time recommendations for further treatment.
After looking at before and after photos of eyebrow hair tattooing, as well as studying the reviews of compatriots who have undergone the procedure, you can be convinced that this innovative method almost always guarantees a transformation for the better.
Tips for care
Eyebrows need additional care after hair tattooing.
For the first few days, it is recommended to take care of your skin.
- An icore will appear at the puncture sites. It should be cleaned every hour with gentle movements in the direction of hair growth using a cotton ball or soft cloth soaked in chlorhexidine. Never use alcohol-based products for processing. With excessive drying of the eyebrows, the use of tetracycline ointment is allowed.
- After a couple of days, the ichor will dry out and a protective crust will form in its place. It is not necessary to touch it, scratch it, tear it or try to remove it, after a while it will fall off by itself. To accelerate tissue healing and further moisturize it, you can use “Bepanten” or “Rescuer” cream. The rehabilitation period lasts no longer than a week on average. During this period, itching may appear, which will signal wound healing.
- After removing the scab, smear the eyebrows with Troxevasin for several days.
- Antihistamines and antibacterial drugs can be taken to ease the healing period. The skin after permanent makeup is slightly injured and must be protected: try to avoid contact with water when washing, do not rub it with a towel, but only gently wet it with a napkin or soft cloth.
- Do not apply makeup to the eyebrow area during the first week to eliminate the risk of infection and damage to the healing skin.
- Do not engage in unnecessary physical activities until the epidermis is fully healed: sweat secretion adversely affects damaged tissue.
Within 30-45 days, it is undesirable to appear in the hot sun and, if possible, wear a wide-brimmed hat. Active sun can injure healing skin. The same goes for temperature changes, strong winds and dusty weather. In bad weather, try to avoid walks and long periods on the street. Thus, the result will be saved much more reliably.
- In the first month, do not use cleansing scrubs, foams or face masks. Do not use the sauna or swimming pool.
- After the eyebrows have completely healed, it is recommended to use creams and serums with a light consistency every day. It is desirable that they contain vitamins of groups A, D and E.
The question of how long the hair tattoo lasts becomes paramount for girls even before starting the procedure. Persistence depends on many circumstances. This is influenced by the individual properties of the body, skin type, dye quality and the professionalism of the master.
In older women, the pigment lasts longer, as the metabolism slows down with age. On dry, normal skin, pigment lasts longer than on oily skin. For women with oily skin, the dye dissolves faster, which is due to the accelerated metabolism and active work of the sebaceous glands.
The correction must be made no later than one and a half months after the primary procedure. If you refuse it, the tattoo will be uneven and disappear faster. This is because the pigment may not fully take root the first time. Correction is generally cheaper and takes less than an hour. The use of anesthesia during correction depends on the amount of work to be done.
