Henna brows are a type of eyebrow tinting that stains the skin and gives tinted hairs for up to six weeks, with a tint on the skin that can last anywhere from two to ten days. Henna dye is naturally derived and has fewer chemicals than brow dyes used in other brow treatments, making it a natural, vegan dye that doesn’t contain lead or ammonia. Henna brows offer some benefits compared to other types of eyebrow treatments, including being more allergy-friendly and having natural ingredients. However, black henna dyes contain a chemical called PPD (paraphenylenediamine), which is an ingredient contained in hair dyes and can cause allergic reactions in some people. Henna brows are a non-invasive treatment achieved with henna dye alone, while microblading requires incisions to deposit pigment below the skin.
