How to create the perfect “Hair-stroke” design using semi permanent makeup technique

Many find this technique quite frustrating and hard to grasp. Hopefully some of my tips may help to put some troubles at ease.

Creating a perfect “hair-stroke” is one of the most difficult applications to apply. It is purely down to skill, that takes years of practice to perfect. With constant practice required in your downtime to achieve great results.

Doodling own designs on paper or practicing on latex skins is a must to get the strokes to look as natural as possible.

Hair growth tends to be quite sporadic so as a simple guideline, brows tend to grow in 3 directions:

1. Upward
2. Across
3. Downward

To produce the most natural finish, the “3 stroke rule” for example:

1. Front section of brow: Upward strokes
2. Middle section of brow : Across strokes
3. End section of brow ( Tail): Downward stroke

TIP  try breaking your brow into 3 sections, this will help you determine a fluid pattern in which to work.

• Section one will consist of upward strokes
• Section 2 should consist of strokes going across
• Section 3 should consist of downward strokes

To give the most natural finish aim for soft, smooth curves, with fluidity in pressure applied throughout the stroke. Work nice and slowly and try to space strokes at least 1mm apart to prevent migration of the pigment.

Remember that correct pressure and skin type are key in producing the perfect hair stroke. We would not recommend this technique for oily skin or sensitive skin that bleeds a lot during treatment.

Remember the key is Patience and practice.
