Guide to using the Indus Valley Brow Code Henna
PREPARATION STEPS
STEP 1: Test Patch
Always test patch first time Henna clients. It is safest to test for an allergy 48 hours prior to treatment. Apply a dot of Henna to the inner wrist, remove after 15 minutes. If there is no reaction occurring, you are safe to use our Henna on your clients. Please note: Reactions can occur or build up at any time. Please always still continue to ask your client during each treatment if the skin feels ok.
STEP 2: Consult
Spend 3 minutes of your treatment time to explain the Henna process to your clients and thoroughly go through the clients desired results. It is important to be on the same page with your client and to ensure they understand what their result is going to be.
STEP 3: Shape
Shape the brow using Brow Code’s Design & Define Hot Wax to ensure the brow is set in a sleek and defined style and that all baby hairs are removed.
STEP 4: Colour Selection
Brow Code x Indus Valley Henna is available in various shades. Take a good look at which color suits your customer, and discuss their wishes in depth. It is difficult to determine in advance how a color will develop and is dependent on skin type. For that reason, it’s better not to go too dark the first time. Repeat the process rather than having an upset customer who finds their eyebrows too dark. You can slightly soften the color with the Brow Code Tint Remover. But remember that Brow Henna has been developed for a long-lasting result that does not brush it off easily.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Mix
Mix the capsule of desired BCIV Henna colour with 12-15 drops of the BCIV Rose Water. Set the mixture aside for 5-10 mins to allow the henna powder to form a smooth, strong paste.
2. Cleanse
Cleanse the brows using BCIV Brow Conditioning Cleanser. For oily skin types or when removing heavy makeup, work your fingertips in a circular motion to deeply cleanse the brow hairs and surrounding skin.
3. Exfoliate
Exfoliate the brow area using the BCIV Brow Scrub. It is essential to remove any build-up of dead skin cells to allow the henna to create a more even and longer-lasting stain.
4. Apply
Apply the first layer of henna. The first layer can be applied thinly for a fast application. When applying the second layer, allow more time spent on your second application for perfecting the brow shape, defining crisp lines and applying a thicker layer of henna for an extended processing time. For stubborn hairs, a third layer can be applied. Continue activating the henna by applying a thin layer of Rose Water over the top while processing.
5. Remove
Remove the henna by soaking each brow with a dampened cotton round using BCIV Rose Water. Soak each brow until the dried henna becomes a paste again then wipe away the excess henna.
6. Nourish
Treat the brows by massaging the BC Brow Gold oil into the brow hairs and the skin. The Brow Gold helps to lock in the colour for a longer-lasting stain whilst adding extra nourishment and shine to each hair, creating fuller, healthier brows.
