When would I choose to layer the application over just applying to the skin and leaving it? - 24 Jun 2025

LAYERING YOUR Helyx Hybrid Dye – The layering technique can be ideal for clients with areas of the brow that are missing a lot of brow hair. Layering is not always necessary for all applications, but it can be a good technique to help ensure areas are not missed and that even application of the dye is achieved.

For instance if a client arrives with a large bulb at the head of the brow but an overly tweezered or heavily misdirected mid and tail portion of the brow and the client is happy to have the area without the skin filled with Helyx Hybrid Dye, your application will naturally darken the area with brow hairs more than it will on the bare skin with no hair over it.

This might mean applying a layer of Helyx Hybrid Dye first to the bare skin (with no application to the hair) and allowing it to begin to process (5 – 7 minutes) before then applying a full coating to the entire brow area for the full processing time. This will give the skin the opportunity to begin to stain more without the risk of over

colouring the brow hairs.

For some clients continual applications of Helyx Hybrid Dye 5 mins apart might also help with staining effect for skin types/conditions that are particularly stubborn but this can be wasteful on product to remove and continue to apply. On some skin types the skin may remain resistant regardless of the method of application.

Using darker colours will always achieve longer lasting and more prominent skin staining results due to the darker pigment staying power.
