What Are HD Brows? Your 4 Step Guide To Achieve The Look Using UKBROW
The world of salon appointments and ways in which we can keep our brows in check is ever-evolving, with a variety of techniques to choose from to achieve your dream brows - from simple eyebrow tinting and shaping to microblading or microfeathering.
One technique that you might have heard of is an HD Brows treatment, and in this article, we plan to break down what your salon appointment might involve if you book this, how much it might cost you and alternative ways you can achieve the same look using our array of transformative UKBROW products here at UKLASH.
What Are HD Brows?
HD Brows is a shorthand term for High Definition Brows. It’s a treatment that focuses on the precise colour, shape and style of your brows and offers a bespoke service for you to build your dream brows.
What Is Involved In The HD Brows Treatment & How Much Do HD Brows Cost?
The HD Brows process combines multiple techniques to sculpt and shape your brows into the perfect shape for your face. On average in the UK HD Brows cost around £35 per appointment. Typically the whole process can be completed in one sitting and may involve the below elements:
- Consultation - In this part of the appointment your brow stylist will give you an HD Brows consultation, asking you what you would like to achieve and how they think they can help you get there. It might be that you’re dealing with untamely stray hairs that need to be kept in check, or if you’re someone who is working with sparse eyebrows, they might suggest that you enter an HD Brows regrowth programme where, with their help, you build up your brow hairs over time.
- Tinting - Based on the colour of your natural brow hairs or the colour that you wish for them to be, your brow stylist will mix up a dye to colour match perfectly. Tinting your eyebrows will help to highlight the hairs that your stylist is working with and to define and balance the colour out across the whole brow.
- Waxing - Waxing your eyebrows is a great way to remove hair in bulk, so this will be an important step for those dealing with unruly brows. It’s also a great opportunity for your stylist to precisely sculpt your brows and create the perfect arch to suit your face.
- Threading - This step in the process offers a great opportunity for your brow stylist to perfect the shape and catch any hairs that weren’t removed through waxing.
- Tweezing - Finally tweezing your brows helps to finalise the shape and manually remove any hairs that threading and waxing failed to catch.
- Trimming - This step is unique to the HD Brows treatment and creates uniformity within the brows. At this stage, your stylist will use trimming scissors to make sure all of your brow hairs are the same length, keeping your brows in check and helping you to achieve a neat and defined finish.
- Finishing Touches - In this final step your brow stylist might set your brows with a gel to finish. In the same way a blow-dry leaves you feeling fresh after a haircut at the salon, this step allows you to leave feeling rejuvenated after your appointment. Your stylist will then talk you through any necessary HD Brows maintenance that will help to prolong the effects of your perfected brows.
How Long Do HD Brows Last?
Typically, your HD Brows results will last for around four to six weeks, depending on where you’re at in your hair growth cycle when you have them done and how well you follow the aftercare steps. If you’re looking to boost brow growth, it might be that your brow stylist puts you on an HD Brows regrowth programme and suggests you book in for regular follow up appointments.
HD Brows Vs. Microblading
Although the goal of both HD Brows and Microblading appointments is to create a well defined and fuller looking brow shape, the two offer different pro’s and con’s.
HD Brows benefits from combining multiple steps that can help to shape and define your brows perfectly, using non-invasive, painless techniques and all at a lower price point of around £35 per appointment. Whereas, microblading can be painful for some people, in the same way that a tattoo can be, lasts around one to three years and is more expensive at around £200-£600 per session.
