Eyebrows are integral to everyone's appearance and facial harmony. There are all different types of eyebrows, with varying thicknesses and shapes, all trying to keep up with whatever the latest brow trends are. In recent years people have begun to embrace thick, fluffy brows. This has created a gap for those with plucked 90s brows or sparse-haired brows. Sparse brows, often characterized by thin, uneven hair distribution or noticeable gaps, can be a common concern for many. Whether it's due to overplucking, the natural aging process of our hair, hormonal changes, or genetic predisposition, not everyone is born with thick, bushy brows. As a result, there are various beauty treatments available for those with sparse brows.

Bang on Brows Recommended Services: Brow Henna, Hybrid Brow Dye and Brow Cosmetic Tattooing

Bang on Brow’s brow Henna, Hybrid brow dye and brow cosmetic tattooing are all great semi-permanent solutions for sparse hair. Henna is a plant-based pigment that sculpts and defines brows with a matte, dusty, long-lasting colour. Unlike traditional brow tints, Henna not only colours the brow hair but also stains the skin underneath for up to 2 weeks, providing a powder-like, matte finish. This effect lasts anywhere from 4-6 weeks, depending on skin type and lifestyle, and takes only 15-20 minutes to apply. Pricing for henna is $51 (with the option to add brow shaping for an extra $22).

Similarly, with the Hybrid Dye on your brows, you can look forward to weeks of low-maintenance brow glam, lasting up to 6 weeks on the hair and up to 2 weeks on the skin. Like henna, the hybrid tint penetrates the hair shaft for a deeper, longer-lasting colour and very effective grey coverage but uses more of the traditional ingredients of the standard brow tints at the sweeter price point of $35 (with the option to add brow shaping for an extra $22). Both the Henna and Hybrid brows come with a large range of shades to choose from, ensuring a custom mix of the perfect shade for you. Those Sparse brows will look filled in and defined without the hassle of pencils.

Looking for more of a long-term solution than 6 weeks? Our experienced tattoo artist at Bang on Brows offers two distinct types of cosmetic tattoos that are best for cases of asymmetry or sparse brow hairs. Microblading or Feather touch tattooing technique fills those sparse areas by placing fine strokes of pigment with a hand-held tool that mimics your brow hair for a fuller look. As it only implants into the very top part of your skin creating a more muted look, it is great for those who do not like to wear a lot of brow make-up, thinner or dry skin textures, and individuals more hesitant to test out brow tattoo services.

Ombre or powder brows are another type of semi-permanent makeup that involves implanting tiny particles of pigment in a pixelated pattern to create the appearance of powder-filled brows. This effect provides extra depth and definition and is like using a brow pencil to shade/fill in the brows.

Our artist charges $650 for both microblading and ombre tattoos. This includes a consultation and touch-up appointment at 6-8 weeks from the initial service. For only 1-2 hours you can have brows that'll last you 12-18 months, depending on lifestyle and upkeep.

Best Avoided: Lamination

Brow lamination is a popular technique for achieving fuller, more defined brows or the trendy 'fluffy' look. But it may not be the best option for those with sparse brows. This is because brow lamination works by setting the brow hairs in a particular direction, which makes any gaps or sparse areas in the brows more noticeable. It does not add brow hair and sparse brows may also need more product to achieve this desired look, which can result in a less natural appearance.
