How do eyebrows and eyelashes care look like?
Henna on eyebrows and eyelashes is a great way to enhance your look, but proper aftercare is essential to ensure the color lasts as long as possible. Here are some key tips to preserve the intensity of the color and keep your hairs healthy.
1. The First 24 Hours – A Crucial Time for Henna Longevity
Henna needs time to fully penetrate the hair structure and set on the skin. During the first day after the treatment, it’s important to:
- Avoid water contact – do not wet your eyebrows and eyelashes or use makeup removers.
- Refrain from rubbing or touching your eyebrows and eyelashes.
- Avoid applying oily creams and serums around the eyes.
- Stay away from swimming pools, saunas, and intense workouts (sweat can weaken the coloring effect).
2. Gentle Cleansing – The Key to Proper Care
Daily hygiene should be gentle to prevent premature fading of the henna. It is best to use:
- Micellar water without alcohol or special eyebrow and eyelash shampoos.
- Soft cosmetic pads instead of cotton wool, which may pull on the hairs.
- Lukewarm water – hot water may cause the henna to fade faster.
3. Hydration and Nourishment
To keep your eyebrows and eyelashes strong, healthy, and shiny, regular nourishment is recommended:
- Nourishing oils – castor, argan, or almond oil deeply hydrate and strengthen the hair structure.
- Keratin-based serums – help rebuild the hair fiber and extend the longevity of the henna.
- Plant-based botox – regenerates and nourishes the hairs, making them more flexible and glossy.
4. Lamination – Extra Protection and Prolonged Effect
A great addition to henna aftercare is the eyebrow or eyelash lamination treatment, available at Easy Waxing. Lamination:
- Strengthens the hairs, giving them a healthy look and shine.
- Creates a protective layer, preventing the henna from fading too quickly.
- Makes eyebrows and eyelashes more manageable, giving them a fuller and more defined appearance.
5. Avoiding Harmful Factors
To enjoy beautiful eyebrows and eyelashes for as long as possible, it’s important to avoid:
- Alcohol-based cosmetics – they can weaken the color and dry out the hairs.
- Rubbing with a towel – it’s better to gently pat the area with a paper towel or let it air dry naturally.
- Frequent use of waterproof makeup – it requires heavy makeup removal, which can fade the henna effect faster.

Proper aftercare is the key to long-lasting and beautiful henna results. Gentle cleansing, regular hydration, and avoiding harsh cosmetics will help maintain intense eyebrow and eyelash color for several weeks. If you want an even longer-lasting effect, consider lamination treatment, which strengthens and protects the hairs for a flawless look.
