The trend of the last few years is natural beauty. It is for this reason that an increasing number of women are turning to a hair tattoo of eyebrows, and not to permanent. Eyebrow tattooing by the hair method is similar to the permanent application technique, since the same paints and tools are used. The bottom line is that the paint draws individual hairs. This method of tattooing allows the eyebrows to look natural. The result depends on the cosmetologist who performs the procedure. It is important to choose the right shade and technique.
Types of hair tattoo
The hair tattooing method appeared relatively recently and has already become quite
popular. Eyebrows look as natural as possible even on close inspection.
There are two types of hair tattooing:
- The European method consists in applying small, short, equal in length and thickness, strokes from 0.5 to 1 cm. All strokes are directed upwards with curved tips to the bottom. Eyebrows get curved shape and look neat and natural. Correction is recommended once every 2 months;
- The Eastern method differs from the European one in that the strokes are not identical in length. The beautician creates the impression of maximum naturalness directing the hairs at different angles, but only upwards. Sometimes they can intertwine and go beyond the general pattern of eyebrows. This technique is more complicated and requires certain skills from a cosmetologist. Correction is recommended once a year.
The quality and durability of the pigment depends on the country of origin of the paint.
There are several techniques with which hair tattoo is applied:
- Manual method implies microblading. It is performed using a nozzle, which is embedded in an ultrafine blade. The hairs are applied in the form of micro-cuts, in which the pigment gets into the skin. The method is considered traumatic. With such a technique of execution it is necessary to carefully select the master, since it is possible to get the opposite result instead of beautifully traced fine hairs;
- The hardware hair technique is less traumatic, since the pigment is introduced into the skin not by means of linear cuts, but by a multitude of micro-punctures. The minus of the technique is that the hairs are not as clear as with microblading;
- Sometimes masters resort to a mixed technique, which is that the master draws hairs and sets off them. The method is the most expensive of these, as it requires high qualification and a lot of time.
The deeper the pigment is introduced, the longer its color remains. It is important to correctly calculate the depth, otherwise, if you enter the pigment very deep, you can get bright coarse eyebrows.
