Overcoming Brow Hair Loss: A Guide to Brow Feathering

Brow hair loss can occur for various reasons – alopecia, trichotillomania, hormones, medication, stress, thyroid issues, scars, and more. Losing brow hair can be distressing and make you feel self-conscious. Brow feathering offers a solution by creating natural-looking strokes that mimic real brow hairs.  This guide covers everything you need to know about brow feathering for hair loss.

What is Brow Feathering?

Brow feathering uses a handheld tool called a microblade which deposits pigment superficially into the skin, similar to that of a paper cut, to keep the skin’s integrity. It creates fine strokes that mimic the look of real brow hairs. It creates soft, natural-looking brows, regardless of how much natural brow hair you have. The feathered strokes blend seamlessly whether you have full brows, patchy brows, or no hair at all. The result is beautiful brows that give you confidence and make you feel like yourself again.

Benefits of Brow Feathering for Hair Loss

For those with thinning brows or bald patches, brow feathering offers many benefits:

• Creates the look of full, natural brows
• Restores symmetry for sparse or missing brows
• Boosts self-confidence and self-esteem
• Long-lasting results; can last 1-2 years
• This gentle technique is safe for sensitive skin
• Complements your facial features and enhances your look

Brow Feathering Consultation

We recommend starting with a brow feathering consultation. This allows us to fully inform you about the treatment and any contraindications that may prevent you from going forward. 

We discuss your brow goals, assess your brows, whilst drawing on a shape with powder; this shape may slightly change as the full mapping is done in depth at the feathering appointment. We’ll advise if brow feathering is suitable or if alternatives like brow lamination or hybrid dye may be more suitable for you. If you proceed, the consultation cost is redeemable against the full brow feathering treatment. It ensures we create the perfect brows for you.

Caring for Feathered Brows

To get the longest-lasting results from your brow feathering, follow these care tips:

• Initial aftercare is provided, discussed and an aftercare flyer is provided immediately following your brow feathering treatment. This MUST be adhered to in order to achieve optimum results.
• Avoid any skincare on the brows; including but not limited to – oils,  moisturisers, serums, sunscreen. 
• Use our brow puff to wipe brows clean after every application of skincare; including but not limited to – oils,  moisturisers, serums, sunscreen. Active ingredients in our skincare work to break down blemishes, sun spots, fine lines, pigmentation, hence if these ingredients are not wiped after application they will break down the brow pigment. 
• Avoid direct sun exposure for long periods 
• Keep brow maintenance up – waxing and dying as needed
• Hybrid brow lamination is perfect for keeping the brows looking fresh 24/7 and can blend your brow hair into the feathered strokes
• Don’t forget to get a colour refresh every 6-14 months to keep the brows looking their absolute best. (if unsure how long in between each appointment reach out)

If you notice fading, reach out to us for a refresh. 

Keeping iron and thyroid levels optimal will help the pigment retain well and will help prevent discolouring.
