How to Master Ombre, Hair Stroke, and Full Coverage Techniques

There’s a misconception that henna brows have a one-technique application approach. However, we’re here to shed some light on how versatile brow henna really is! This article delves into three transformative ways to use and apply So Henna - the ombre technique, the hair stroke technique, and the full coverage technique - providing you with all the information you need to enhance your skills and offer clients the most stunning brow transformations.

1. The Ombre Technique with So Henna

The Ombre Technique is a highly sought-after brow styling method, known for its natural and gradient effect, transitioning from lighter to darker shade. The So Henna formula allows for seamless blending, essential for creating the subtle, graduated look that ombre brows are famous for. Its lasting power ensures that the ombre effect remains vibrant and beautiful for weeks, making it a preferred choice for clients seeking durability in their brow treatments. 

How to Achieve the Ombre Effect with So Henna

Begin with a thorough consultation to understand your client's desired outcome. Sketch the shape of the brow using some White Mapping Paste and plan the gradient effect. Prepare the So Henna mixture according to the desired intensity. Start applying from the tail, gradually lightening the mixture by adding a lighter So Henna powder as you move toward the front of the brow. Use a clean, dry brush to blend the henna for a seamless transition, ensuring the front of the brows is lighter, creating the signature ombre look.

2. The Hair Stroke Technique with So Henna

The hair stroke technique focuses on creating ultra-realistic brow hairs for a natural, fuller look. So Henna's precise application allows technicians to mimic individual hairs, filling in sparse areas or creating an entirely new brow shape.

Advantages of Using So Henna for Hair Strokes

The fine tip applicators compatible with So Henna products enable the creation of sharp, hair-like strokes. Mixing different So Henna shades allows for a perfect match to the client's natural brow colour, enhancing the realism of the hair strokes. Unlike traditional makeup, So Henna's hair strokes maintain their definition and colour over time, offering durability that clients appreciate.

Technique Tips for Hair Stroke Mastery

Achieve a slightly thicker consistency with the So Henna mix to ensure the strokes hold their shape. Work in the direction of natural hair growth, creating strokes that vary in length for a more authentic look. For added depth, apply a second layer of strokes after the first has set, focusing on areas that require more volume.

3. The Full Coverage Technique with So Henna

For clients desiring a bold, defined look, the full coverage technique is the go-to option. So Henna's rich pigmentation and blendable formula make it perfect for achieving a solid, even colour across the brows.

Benefits of So Henna for Full Coverage

So Henna's pigments are designed to deliver deep, saturated colour, ensuring a standout brow look. Whether your client wants a dramatic arch or a soft, rounded shape, So Henna can be applied to achieve various full coverage styles. The natural composition of So Henna means it's safe for all skin types, reducing the risk of irritation.

Achieving Flawless Full Coverage

Start with a clean, primed brow area. Apply So Henna evenly across the brows, ensuring the entire area is covered. The key to create a full coverage look is to dab the So Henna mixture into the brow hairs and skin. This technique allows for higher saturation of the pigment as opposed to lighter hair strokes or an ombre effect. By pressing the mixture into the brows, you are covering a larger area and delivering deep and rich pigmentation Use a pointed applicator to outline the brows, refining the shape and edges for a polished look. Allow the henna to process according to the recommended time, then gently remove it to reveal beautifully defined, full-coverage brows.

So Henna offers brow technicians a versatile, high-quality solution for creating a range of brow looks, from natural and subtle to bold and dramatic.
