Sick of filling in your brows every day?
Henna brows give you fuller, defined brows through a natural tinting treatment that stains both the skin and brow hairs. But how long do they really last?
Here’s what to expect, plus how to keep them looking fresh for longer.
How Long Do Henna Brows Last?
Henna brows can last anywhere from a few days to several weeks — it all depends on how your skin and hair hold the colour.
- On the skin: The henna leaves a soft stain that acts like a natural brow shadow, lasting around 5 to 10 days. This tint gradually fades as your skin naturally exfoliates.
- On the brow hairs: You’ll enjoy colour and definition for up to 4 to 6 weeks, depending on your hair growth cycle.
A few factors can affect how long your henna brows last:
Skin type
Oily skin tends to fade faster, while dry skin can hold the stain longer.
Hair texture
Coarser or more porous hairs absorb the dye better and may hold the tint longer.
Aftercare
Following proper aftercare (avoiding water, steam, and exfoliants) is key to long-lasting results.
With the right prep and maintenance, henna brows can keep you looking polished for weeks!
Tips to Help Your Henna Brows Last Longer
Want your henna brows to stay fresh and flawless for as long as possible? Here’s how to extend their life:
Avoid Water and Steam for 24 Hours
Let the henna fully develop by keeping your brows dry — skip hot showers, saunas, and intense workouts for the first day.
Steer Clear of Oils and Exfoliants
Oil-based products and exfoliating scrubs can break down the stain faster, especially on the skin beneath your brows.
Cleanse Gently
Use a mild, non-stripping cleanser and avoid rubbing the brow area to prevent premature fading.
Protect Your Brows from the Sun
UV exposure can cause the tint to fade more quickly. Apply SPF carefully or wear a hat when outdoors.
When to Book Your Next Brow Refresh
Henna brows typically last 3 to 5 weeks, depending on your skin type and aftercare. You’ll know it’s time to rebook when the skin stain fades and your brow shape starts to lose definition.
To keep your brows looking sharp, we recommend setting up a regular refresh with your favourite therapist — many salons (like ours!) offer easy rebooking and reminder options to keep you on track.
