Helyx Hybrid Dye: The Choice Brow Artists Are Switching To
Helyx Hybrid Dye: The Choice Brow Artists Are Switching To
This month marks one year since we launched our Helyx Hybrid Dye to the world, the first-ever hybrid dye infused with Kera-Veg 18.
Did you know this product was originally set to launch at the end of 2024? But Otto being Otto, it had to be absolutely perfect before reaching our Ellee-community. After rigorous testing and countless trials on our team to achieve the perfect long-lasting brow stain, Elleebana officially introduced Helyx Hybrid Dye to the world in April 2025.
What Makes Helyx Different?
Compared to other hybrid dyes on the market, Helyx Hybrid Dye is the first brow dye to contain Kera-Veg 18.
That’s right, the same innovative vegan keratin alternative found in advanced hair repair products is infused into this formula. So while you’re dyeing your client’s brows, you’re also helping to repair and strengthen the hair from the inside out, especially beneficial for clients who have undergone a brow lamination.
It’s clinically proven to strengthen brow hair by up to 21%, delivering not only beautiful results but healthier brows over time.
Looking back on the development of Helyx Hybrid Dye, Otto reveals what set out to change in the industry:
“Helyx Hybrid Dye was born from a clear gap I kept seeing in the industry, too many brow colours leaning warm, with not enough control over neutralisation. I wanted to create a system built around true ash tones, especially in the lighter shades, giving artists the ability to refine, balance, and customise with precision. At the same time, performance alone wasn’t enough for me, so I integrated Kera Veg 18, an ingredient we’ve trusted in our ReGen system since 2019, to support hair strength and condition during the service. It’s innovation in both colour science and hair integrity, working together.”
Master Educator, Paige shares her thoughts on why Helyx Hybrid Dye stands out from the rest: “Helyx Hybrid Dye was created with real purpose and confidence. Even in a market full of hybrid dyes, Elleebana set out to raise the standard, and they delivered. What stands out most is the consistency and longevity. The colour holds true, the structured finish, and the overall result feels polished every time. As an Educator and Brow Artist, I trust Helyx to deliver results that look refined, wear well, and support the condition of the brow hair. It is a system that works for both the client and the artist, every step of the way.”
Community Results That Speak for Themselves

Elleebana’s First-Ever Hybrid Brow Dye is Here!Brows are in Elleebana’s DNA and have been for three decades. As part of our ongoing innovation, we’re thrilled to introduce our Helyx Hybrid Dye system – a revolutionary hybrid brow dye designed for long-lasting colour, vibrant skin staining, and enhanced hair health.
But why Helyx? The word “Helix” refers to the twisted coil of proteins found in all living beings. Our DNA, structured as a double-helix, determines the proteins our body produces for life. Since brow and lash hair is made of proteins, we believe the products we use should also support hair health. Caring for lash and brow hair is in our DNA!
Helyx Hybrid Dye is an innovative, highly pigmented liquid dye that can provide the user with a long-lasting effect similar to a stain or henna. The liquid formulation and viscosity allow for greater absorption and easy application for layering colour and giving a bold skin stain result.

Which One’s Right for Your Client? Brow Tint vs. Brow Henna vs. Brow Dye
When comparing Helyx Hybrid Dye, Elleeplex Profusion Tints, and Henna, the core differences come down to formulation, performance, and intended use.
Helyx Hybrid Dye is a liquid-based system created exclusively for brows, delivering vibrant, long-lasting colour with strong skin-staining capabilities and hair-penetrating power. Its hero ingredient, KeraVeg18, works to nourish and strengthen brow hairs during processing, making it an ideal solution for clients seeking both bold definition and hair health support.
Elleeplex Profusion, on the other hand, is a creamy dual-purpose tint for lashes and brows that’s designed to minimise skin staining—making it perfect for sensitive areas around the eyes or for clients who prefer a softer, more natural tint. It offers excellent results for those who want definition without the intensity of a hybrid dye.
Brow Henna uses natural plant-based pigments in a powder form that is mixed with water to create a paste. While it also offers a skin-staining effect, henna coats the hair rather than penetrating it, requires longer processing times, and can sometimes produce inconsistent results due to variations in plant-based ingredients. Ultimately, the choice comes down to your client’s preferences for colour intensity, skin staining, longevity, and the level of hair care they desire.
