Hybrid Dye is known for its long-lasting results. However, visibility varies from client to client. How long does Hybrid Dye really remain visible on the skin? And which factors play a role? In this blog, we explain it clearly.
To properly understand the longevity of Hybrid Dye, it is important to distinguish between hair colouring and skin staining.
- The hair colouring forms the foundation of the treatment. As Hybrid Dye is an oxidative tint, the pigments develop inside the hair itself. This means the colour usually remains visible for 5 to 6 weeks.
- The skin stain is supportive. It provides extra definition and a sharper shape immediately after the treatment. The stain often remains visible for up to 7 days. For some skin types, this can be significantly shorter.
Immediately after the treatment, the skin stain appears at its most intense. This is the peak moment. After that, the colour will gradually fade. This is normal; the skin is constantly renewing itself.
What influences the longevity of Hybrid Dye?
The visibility of Hybrid Dye is determined by several factors. No skin is the same, and no brow is identical.1. Skin type
Dry or normal skin generally retains pigment longer than oily skin. With oily skin, sebum production causes the skin stain to fade more quickly.
2. Hair Density
In the case of sparse or thin brows, there is less foundation to build colour on. Hybrid Dye is primarily a hair tint. The skin needs hair in order to “grip” the colour optimally.3. Aftercare
Intensive cleansing, scrubs, acids (AHA/BHA), retinol or excessive sun exposure accelerate the fading of the skin stain.
4. Lifestyle
Daily exercise, heavy perspiration, swimming or sauna use can affect the longevity of the skin stain.
5. Technique of the specialist
The correct mixing ratio, sufficient processing time and thorough degreasing beforehand make a visible difference.Why does the result vary per client?
The skin is a living organ. Sebum production, hormonal balance, skincare routines and lifestyle differ from person to person. This means you can never guarantee a fixed number of days for the skin stain. Sometimes it remains visible for up to seven days; more often it becomes subtler slightly sooner.- The key is to manage expectations properly.
- Explain that the hair tint forms the foundation.
- Do not let clients focus solely on the intense effect of day one.
How do you ensure maximum longevity?
- Careful preparation
Clean skin is essential for optimal adhesion. Always work with thorough preparation and degrease the skin using Mrs.Highbrow Skin Prep Lotion. - The right colour choice
Match the shade to both the skin tone and the hair colour. A shade that is too light will automatically result in less visible skin impact. Please note: Oat has been developed for a minimal skin stain, creating a soft and natural result. - Correct processing time
Processing for too short a time means less pigment development. Leaving it on for too long can become unnecessarily intense. Keep control of the timing and follow the recommended guidelines. - Clear aftercare instructions
Explain that the skin continuously renews itself. Advise clients to avoid water and oil for the first 24 hours. While the colour remains visible on the skin, clients will naturally need to be cautious with cleansing products.
