Brow Shampoo  

Brow shampoo is used as a cleanser to thoroughly cleanse and condition the brow area prior to treatment. It is ideal for prepping the brows for all treatments. It effectively removes makeup and impurities while conditioning the brows, making it an essential first step in the preparation process. It’s also a great product for creating engaging social media content that showcases the thorough care involved in brow treatments.

Saline Solution  

Saline solution is used in treatments to gently cleanse and remove residues and excess oils from the skin and brow area. It is essential for achieving long-lasting results in hybrid brow treatments. By thoroughly removing residues and oils, it ensures that the brow area is perfectly prepped, allowing for better adherence of the hybrid dye and ultimately leading to beautiful, long-lasting results.    

“The Saline Solution is essentially used as a detox, to clean the skin. Sodium Chloride increases the oxidisation of fatty acids which causes oils on the skin to breakdown, creating the perfect base for the Hybrid Dyes to be applied.” - Hannah de Mowbray, HD Brows Senior Group Product Manager
