What You Need to Know About Hybrid Brow Stain

What is Hybrid Stain?

This innovative hybrid eyebrow stain is designed to achieve richly pigmented and long lasting results with ease. It really is a game changer in the beauty industry as it's not just your regular brow tint. This is a stain that colours both the hair shaft and the root, whilst creating a 3D effect by staining the skin. That's not even the best part...it lasts up to 7 WEEKS on the brow hair and up to 10 days on the skin!

The key to this product’s uniqueness lies in its blend of long-lasting pigments and gentle, skin-loving ingredients that nourish the brow hairs while providing a defined look - all while being Henna Free. It is suitable for all skin types and has the perfect consistency for a smooth and easy application. It’s the perfect solution for those who want a long-lasting defined brow without committing to the full permanence of microblading.
 

What are the Benefits of Hybrid Stain? 

The Hybrid Brow Stain range is designed to bridge the gap between temporary makeup and semi-permanent solutions. Unlike traditional brow gels, powders, or pencils, which require daily application, this stain is formulated to last for days, while still giving you the flexibility of natural fading rather than harsh lines or colour clumps. With proper aftercare the stain can last for up to 7 weeks on the hair and 10 days on the skin, giving long-lasting results for a low maintenance every-day look. 
With a range of 4 colours of stain to choose from and the possibility to mix between tints to achieve a mid-shade, you'll be able to find the perfect colour match for every client. 
Its gentle formula ensures that the Pinkfishes Hybrid Brow Stain is kind to both skin and hairs. Infused with nourishing ingredients like aloe vera and coconut oil, it helps to condition the brows and keep them healthy, minimising irritation and damage that can sometimes come with longer-lasting products.

How Do I Use Pinkfishes Hybrid Stain? 

For best results, first prep the area by cleansing the brow with Pinkfishes Pink Refine Shampoo or Sensitive Cleansing Sachets. Then, use Pinkfishes Eyebrow Scrub and Eyebrow Scrub Brush to exfoliate the brow and then re-cleanse to leave the area clean, dry and oil-free. Next map out the brows with a mapping pen or string. Mix Pinkfishes Hybrid Brow Stain with Pinkfishes Hybrid Stain Developer (ratio: for every 2 drops of brow stain, add 1 drop of hybrid stain developer) then mix well and apply to the brow area using an eyebrow brush. Ensure any excess product is removed immediately so it does not stain the skin, using Pinkfishes Hybrid Tint & Stain Remover. For best results, apply 3-4 thin layers of tint to the brow. Leave on for a maximum of 7-10 minutes (timings will vary) and then wipe off with a wet cotton pad. To create an ombré look, apply for a shorter amount of time on the head of brow. For any mistakes or to neaten the placement, use Pinkfishes Hybrid Tint & Stain Remover.

What Qualifications Do I Need to use Hybrid Brow Stain?

In order to use our hybrid brow stain you will need a qualification in eyebrow shaping & tinting. Once you are confident with using regular tint, using hybrid tint is a very similar process, so no further qualification is required. Here at Pinkfishes we offer eyebrow shaping and tinting courses at our Pinkfishes training academy which is suitable for beginners. On this course you can upgrade your kit to our hybrid stain collection of products. 

Can I Charge Clients More for a Hybrid Treatment Compared to a Standard Brow Tint?

While pricing is, of course, completely up to you and depends on your local area and competition. We definitely recommend charging slightly more for a hybrid brow treatment, due to the fact that the stain lasts longer than a standard tint will last. It is also a more specialised treatment, where you could include brow mapping for sparser brows, to help build up more of a thicker shape by staining the skin. 
 

Why do I need to prep the area before doing a Hybrid Stain treatment? 

It is ideal to prep the area using Pinkfishes Eyebrow Scrub which is a gentle brow exfoliant which helps remove excess oil and dead skin cells that build up in the brows, to create an ideal canvas for hybrid brow stain and brow lamination treatments. Scrubbing the brows beforehand allows for better absorption of the product, meaning the brow stain will be more pigmented and last longer. Pinkfishes Eyebrow Scrub is coconut scented and leaves the brows rejuvenated leading to longer lasting results. Brush a small amount of eyebrow scrub through the brows in circular motions to gently exfoliate away all dirt and dead skin cells - you can use Pinkfishes Brow Scrub Brush to help with this. Finally, wipe away and pat the area dry before continuing with your brow treatment.

What is the Difference Between Henna & Hybrid Stain?

Henna tint is mainly made up from natural dye made from the henna plant, whereas Pinkfishes Hybrid Brow Tint is a blend of natural and synthetic ingredients designed for optimal long-lasting results. Hybrid Stains have added ingredients that can nourish and soften the brow hairs, keeping them hydrated throughout the treatment.  
While henna does generally last longer on the skin, hybrid stains have been developed to process quicker - making make the treatment time less overall. The application is also a lot easier down to its gel-like consistency, compared to the more watery consistency of henna.
Henna typically lasts up to 2 weeks on the skin and up to 6 weeks on hair. Hybrid Brow Tint, with its advanced formula, can last up to 10 days on the skin and 7 weeks on the hair.
 

Can I Use Hybrid Stain with a Brow Lamination Treatment?

Yes - unlike other brow products you can use hybrid stain products in conjunction to a brow lamination treatment. Combining these treatments will allow you to achieve neat, full, defined and long lasting brows for your clients that'll give them a new found confidence.
