Four Tips to Prevent Hair Strokes from Becoming Thicker than Expected
Four Tips to Prevent Hair Strokes from Becoming Thicker than Expected
There are many unexpected outcomes while doing microblading, and some artists think the hair strokes become thicker because of the pigments used. Still, in reality, it depends mainly on the technique, which will be this article's focus.
In this article, we'll explore four tips to prevent hair strokes from becoming thicker than desired. Whether you're a seasoned professional or new to microblading, these tips can help you achieve beautiful and natural-looking results for your clients.
As I have mentioned in previous articles, in microblading and PMU in general, four factors affect the final result in terms of shape, color fixation, and color retention. Some are under your control, and some are not.
- The color/pigment used*
- The design*
- The technique.*
- The skin-pigment relationship**
Note: Those marked with * are the ones you may control.
The technique
It is associated with the needles, method
My TIPS to prevent hair strokes from becoming thicker than expected are:
- First
- Verify that the angle at which you position the needle in your client's skin is 90 degrees; it means the needle or blade must be perpendicular when you do the microblading movement. If you tilt it, the pigment will also be implanted around the hair stroke, and you will see a shadow around it, which makes it look thicker and not well-defined.
- Second
- The thickness of the needles: The thinner the needles, the thinner the hair strokes. Also, select flexible needles to prevent damage to the skin
- Third
- If you are doing individual hair strokes and microshading simultaneously, you may see that some hair strokes become thicker, so make sure you establish well the effect you want before starting. In this case, the hair strokes won't be as defined as you do, only the hair strokes.
- Fourth
- If your client had previous permanent makeup, make sure you make the changes you need to make before designing individual hair strokes.
The Color
The characteristics of the pigment you use are related to the color, hue and intensity of your job and don´t affect the thickness of the individual hair strokes.
Of course you need to select the color according to the effect you want to achieve independently of the technique you use. It is important to select a color that matches your client's eyebrow hair color. (Use the Color Finder App).
To guarantee that the Softap color consistency and color concentration is ideal, shake and squeeze the tubes before you take the color out. By doing this, you mix the glycerin and the color substrate. The creamy consistency is critical; if it is too liquid, it doesn't work.
Remember that the pigments are made with different concentrations of tones, and the dye must be well mixed to have the appropriate percentage of each one of them and obtain the best result.
The design
The design affects the eyebrows and hair strokes shape, but it doesn't affect how thick the hair strokes come out.
The skin - pigment relationship
Is related to color fixation
The aftercare
If you have problems with the result of your hair strokes, check your technique, and practice with a synthetic material such as practice skins before your next procedure
Remember, practice, practice, and practice is the key to perfection.
I hope that what I do, inspires you for your next Procedure!
