Why you should replace your Brow Henna & Liquid Dye every 6 months

For brow professionals, quality is everything. Did you know that both Brow Henna and Liquid Dye lose their effectiveness after six months once opened? While the product doesn’t expire right away, exposure to air (oxidation) gradually decreases its quality. That’s why we recommend marking the date when you open your products and ensuring you replace them within six months. Keep reading to learn why and discover the key differences between Brow Henna and Liquid Dye with Keratin!

Brow Henna vs. Hybrid Dye

Both give incredible results, but they do it in slightly different ways:

Brow Henna is a fan favorite for its rich, saturated color. It stains the skin for up to 2 weeks and lasts on the brow hairs for up to 6 weeks. This makes it perfect for clients who love that fuller, more dramatic look. 

On the other hand, Liquid Dye with Keratin is ideal for clients who want something a little different. It stains the skin for up to 11 days and lasts on the brow hairs for up to 6 weeks. But what really sets it apart is its compatibility with Brow Lamination and the Airbrush technique, making it a go-to for clients who want a polished, defined look in just 1 sitting. The added keratin helps strengthen the hairs, keeping them healthy while achieving that perfect finish.

So, whether your clients are after rich color saturation or a more versatile option that pairs well with lamination, knowing the strengths of each product ensures they get the best results!

Mark the day when you open your products

We recommend marking the day you open your Brow Henna or Liquid Dye to ensure you’re always working with top-quality products. Here are a few easy ways to do that:

• Write it in your calendar so you can keep track.
• Set a reminder on your phone for 6 months from the opening date.
• Jot it down on the product’s batch so it's always visible.

And don’t stress—we’ve got your back too! We’ll send you a reminder six months after your last purchase of brow henna. But here’s the thing: only you know when you actually opened it. So while we’ll give you a little nudge, marking the day yourself is the best way to make sure you’re always working with the freshest product.

By keeping track of this, you’ll not only protect the quality of your products, but you’ll also make sure your clients get the results they love every single time. It’s a small step that goes a long way in keeping your brow game strong!

What happens to the product after 6 months from opening?

So, why is six months the magic number? Once you open your Brow Henna or Liquid Dye, the product is exposed to air, starting a slow process called oxidation. Over time, this affects the formula, and after about six months, the quality starts to dip. The color won’t be as vibrant, the stain may not last as long, and the overall performance won’t be as good as when it was freshly opened.

While it's still safe to use, the results won't be as impressive, so replacing it every six months ensures you’re always giving your clients the best, long-lasting results.

Using fresh products matters

Using fresh Brow Henna and Liquid Dye isn't just about following guidelines—it’s about ensuring the highest quality results for your clients. Over time, both products lose their effectiveness, and you’ll notice a difference in the vibrancy, longevity, and overall finish of the brows. Fresh products give you the confidence that you’re working with top-notch formulas that provide the best possible results. Let’s break down the benefits of using fresh Brow Henna and Liquid Dye:

The benefits of using fresh Brow Henna

• Rich, saturated color: Provides bold, vibrant color that stains the skin for up to 2 weeks and lasts on brow hairs for up to 6 weeks.

• Smooth application: Fresh henna applies effortlessly, giving you more control for precise, even results.

• Nourishes and strengthens: The natural ingredients are most effective when fresh, helping to condition and thicken brow hairs.

• Long-lasting results: Fresh henna delivers fuller, beautifully defined brows that clients love.

The benefits of fresh Liquid Dye with Keratin

• Precise, polished look: Stains the skin for up to 11 days and brow hairs for up to 6 weeks, providing perfectly defined results.

• Perfect for lamination: Fresh dye is ideal for use with Brow lamination and Airbrush techniques, offering a seamless finish.

• Healthy brow support: The added keratin strengthens and nourishes the brow hairs, giving them a healthy boost.

• Flawless application: Fresh dye ensures smooth, controlled application for professional, long-lasting results every time.

What if you’re behind the time frame?

We get it—sometimes life gets busy, and you might miss the six-month mark. If you're behind the time frame, don't panic! You can always test the product before using it on clients. Try it on a small patch to see if the color still has the same vibrancy and whether it applies smoothly. If it seems a bit off or the results aren’t as bold as you’d expect, it’s likely time to replace it.

However, to ensure you’re delivering the best possible results, we always recommend ordering a new batch. Fresh products give you the confidence that every application will be flawless, and your clients will leave with beautiful, long-lasting brows that keep them coming back. So, when in doubt, it’s always a good idea to stock up on a fresh supply!

Smaller Henna Jars: No more waste!

We know that sometimes it can be tough to finish a full jar of henna within six months, especially when business is slow or if certain shades aren’t as popular. For example, medium brown might fly off the shelves, but shades like auburn may not be as in demand. That’s exactly why we introduced more robust, smaller-sized Brow Henna jars.

These jars help you manage your stock more efficiently, reducing the likelihood of waste. You can use what you need without feeling pressured to finish a larger batch. This way, you're always working with fresh product, delivering the same high-quality results without the worry of throwing out unused henna. It’s all about making your job easier and more cost-effective!

Quality is all that matters

At the end of the day, the quality of your work is what keeps clients coming back. Whether you’re using Brow Henna or Liquid Dye, freshness ensures vibrant, long-lasting results that your clients will love. By sticking to the six-month rule, you can keep delivering the high-quality brows your clients expect!
