Imagine this, as a beautician–you are doing your clients brows and following protocol as usual, then all of a sudden, instead of the beautiful warm blonde or cool dark brown tone you are applying, you suddenly see a Hulk inspired green tone turn up on your clients brows and the horror within it begins to emerge.
First of all, take a breather–sometimes it isnt your fault at all! But there a few things you can watch out for in order to best avoid this situation so your client doesnt freak out worse than you already are!
Also important to know, in many cases, especially with lighter or warmer tones such as Blonde or Golden Brown, if the color does appear to be greenish–it will go away in a few hours. This is just the skin chemistry and once the brow henna does oxidize entirely, it settles in more.
So dont panic, this stuff can happen when you work with tinting and chemical compounds! Either way, you can always feel free to reach out to us and we will best assist you immediately!
Feel free to drop us an email at [email protected] with any issues you may ever face with our products or general questions about your clients and henna process!
Your henna either contained non-herbal ingredients (metals), or it contained indigo to make it look more brown (instead of pure henna which is bright orange-rust colored). Indigo does not bleach out, no matter how deeply you bleach it, and it is a blue-green colored pigment when used on hair/silk/wool.
