Hybrid dyes are designed to stain both the hairs and the skin, providing a more defined brow. The skin’s undertone can subtly affect how the stain appears.
- Warm Undertones: May make cool-toned dyes appear slightly warmer
- Cool Undertones: Can amplify ash tones, making some dyes appear darker or cooler than intended.
Best Practices to Achieve True-to-Colour Results:
- Skin Preparation:
- Cleanse the brows thoroughly to remove sebum or residual skincare or makeup that might alter the dye’s adherence.
- Patch Test:
- Test the dye on a small area to observe how the stain interacts with the client’s skin tone.
- Layering and Adjustments:
- If undertones affect the final result, consider layering with a complementary shade to neutralise or enhance the tone (e.g., adding a cooler shade to balance warm undertones).
- Shade Selection:
- Choose shades that complement the skin undertone (e.g., neutral or ashy tones for warm undertones, warmer shades for cool undertones).
