Pro tip: Complete a patch test prior to staining the eyebrows.

Shake the Hybrid Dye Bottle well before use

Remove all eye makeup before staining the eyebrows. In order to achieve the optimum staining results, the eyebrows should be dry and free of all oils and sebum as this can create a barrier against all Brow Code Hybrid Dyes and it will not adhere to the surface layer of the skin or the hair.

Mix the Hybrid Dye and Cream Oxidant into a creamy paste using an application stick or brush. The mixing ratio is generally 4 drops of Hybrid Dye with 2 drops of Oxidant.

When the client has closed their eyes, apply Hybrid Dye to the eyebrows working with care and precision to ensure a clean result.

Ensure the Hybrid Dye is directly placed in the shape you are wanting to achieve as it will immediately begin to stain the skin.

Application times vary 5-12 minutes depending on the desired intensity and results. We recommend a total time of 10 minutes, however, please watch the dye closely to see how the colour is processing. For the best result try removing the front of the brow after a few minutes for an ombre effect.

At the end of the developing time ensure the Hybrid Dye is wet by retouching with some of the mixture. Remove excess Hybrid Dye with a dry cotton tip, blending from the front of the brow to the tail being careful not to smudge outside the brow. Remove any remaining Hybrid Dye with a slightly damp cotton pad wiping from the front of the brow to the tail. Be careful not to use a scrubbing motion.

As the Brow Code Hybrid Dye is richly pigmented and processes quickly, we recommend using a dry cotton tip to clean up the edges of the brow as you apply, ensuring nothing stains outside the lines.

Pro tip: The Hybrid Dye stain can feel darker on the first day, however, please note this is an important step of the process as the stain continues to oxidise on the skin and settle into its finished shade. The stain will start to fade gradually as soon as the brows are wet.

• Avoid using makeup and facial cleansers around the brow area for the following 24 hours.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, the use of sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for 24 hours.
• Avoid exfoliating and using anti-aging products around the brow area for at least two to three days prior to and post-treatment.
• Avoid using any self-tanning products on the face for around two to three days on either side of the treatment.

Avoid the temptation to over-touch the brow area after treatment. Touching with fingers can lead to oils entering open pores and clogging them.
