The trend of the past few years is natural beauty. It is for this reason that an increasing number of women are turning to hair tattooing of eyebrows, and not to permanent. Eyebrow tattooing using the hairline method is similar to the permanent one according to the application technique, since the same paints and tools are used. The bottom line is that individual hairs are painted with paint. This method of tattooing allows the eyebrows to look natural. The result depends on the beautician who is carrying out the procedure. It is important to choose the right shade and technique.
Types of Hair Tattooing
The method of hair tattooing has appeared relatively recently and has already become very
popular. Eyebrows look as natural as possible, even when closely examined.
There are two types of hair tattooing:
- The European method consists in applying small, short, equal in length and thickness, strokes from 0.5 to 1 cm. All strokes are directed up with the bent tips to the bottom. Eyebrows acquire a curved shape and look neat and natural. Correction is recommended to be carried out every 2 months;
- The eastern method differs from the European one in that the strokes are not the same in length. The cosmetologist gives the impression of maximum naturalness by directing hairs at different angles, but only upwards. Sometimes they can intertwine and go beyond the general pattern of eyebrows. This technique is more complex and requires certain skills from the cosmetologist. Correction is recommended once a year.
The quality and durability of the pigment depends on the country of manufacture of the paint.
There are several techniques by which hair tattooing is applied:
- The manual method involves microblading. It is carried out with the help of a nozzle in which an ultra-thin blade is integrated. The hairs are applied in the form of micro-cuts, in which the pigment enters the skin. The method is considered traumatic. With this technique, you must carefully choose the master, as you can get the opposite result instead of beautifully drawn thin hairs;
- The hardware hair technique is less traumatic, since the pigment is applied to the skin not with linear cuts, but with a lot of micro-punctures. The disadvantage of the technique is that the hairs are not as clear as in microblading;
- Sometimes masters resort to a mixed technique, which consists in the fact that the master draws hairs and shades them. The method is the most expensive of these, as it requires high qualifications and a lot of time.
The deeper the pigment is introduced, the longer its color remains. It is important to calculate the depth correctly, otherwise, if you introduce the pigment very deep, you can get bright rough eyebrows.

I did a hairline eyebrow tattoo a little more than a week ago. I found a very good master. She quickly helped pick up both shape and color. The procedure was generally painless! For three days I smeared eyebrows with a special ointment. My crusts were small and almost imperceptible. I was very pleased!
Nastya, 29 years old:
A month ago, in the tattoo parlor, I received a hair tattoo of eyebrows, which I eventually regretted! I went there because I made an eyebrow that was familiar and very good, and the price was very low. After the crusts came off, it turned out that the eyebrows were not the same in length and they had different heights. I had to fix it. Yesterday I visited a good salon and they redid everything to me. It was very painful despite the anesthesia. Conclusion: do not save on yourself.
Anya, 33 years old:
I made eyebrows with the hair method a month ago. I didn’t feel any pain at all. The crusts fell off after a week and, as the master warned, half the color was gone. They became just as bright as I wanted. Now I don’t need to draw eyebrows in the morning for an hour with a pencil, I'm just happy! In a week I’ll go for a correction. The main thing is to find a good master and you will be very satisfied.
