The Ultimate Guide to our New Helyx Hybrid Dye - 19 May 2025

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.

Why Artists Are Loving It

  • Deep Penetration for Long-Lasting Colour – Acts like a permanent tint, deeply colouring the hair shaft.

  • Skin Stain Effect – Adds density and definition for bolder, more sculpted brows.

  • Sparse Brow Saviour – Enhances shape and fullness without the need for invasive treatments.

  • Microblading Alternative – Offers a semi-permanent result without the long-term commitment or cost.

  • Cost-Effective for Salons – Over 100+ applications per 15ml bottle = serious value.

More Than Just a Dye — It’s Brow Care in a Bottle

At Elleebana, hair health is everything. That’s why Helyx Hybrid Dye is packed with powerful plant-based ingredients designed to condition, strengthen, and protect during every treatment.

🌱 KeraVeg 18

AUBURN HAZE (RED BROWN) A warm red brown tone for clients that have reddish and warmer hair colour tones. Can be mixed with other colours to create more warmth or depth.

MOCHA CHARM (DARK BROWN) A deep shade of brown that offers great and dark coverage. Can also be combined with any colours within the range, to add more depth and longevity to the skin stain.

ONYX NOIR (BLACK) The darkest colour within the range giving a lush black depth to the brow for clients that need complete definition and the longest lasting result. Can also be used as a toner in small percentages to neutralise warm tones.

Developers:

  • Creme Developer – Easy application and control, ideal for beginners.

How to Use Helyx Hybrid Dye 💡

  1. Cleanse: Use Elleebana Makeup Remover to prep brows and remove oils/debris.

  2. Mix: 1:1 ratio of dye and developer (e.g. 6 drops of dye to equal parts developer).

  3. Apply: Stay within mapped brow lines; layer 2–3 coats for maximum stain.

  4. Time: Let sit for 10–15 minutes depending on intensity desired.

  5. Remove: Use cotton tips to clean edges during processing, then fully remove with a dry/damp cotton pad.

  6. Aftercare: Brush through with spoolie, finish with Elleeplex Aftercare or Elleefix Wax.

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.
