- Which MICROBLADING HEALING METHOD is better? Wet or Dry? In this video I will clarify the difference between the common healing method used by PMU/tattoo artists and share with you the healing method I use.
* I am not a doctor, nor am I giving you medical advice. This video is just an explanation of common healing methods and my personal preference based off my thousands of Microblading procedures I've performed.

Hello Brow Boss! I had my 6 week retouch apt yesterday and Iâd like to say thank you for your guidance!
that's awesome! Thanks so much for watching. and thank you for the sweet comment đ
Is the healing process the same after the touch up as initial ???
Thank you for the thorough explanation. I kept hearing different care instructions on videos of different people having it done and wondered why. I had mine tattooed a series of 5 times with permanent cosmetic pigment starting 9 years ago. I've been letting them fade for the last few years and am getting them microbladed in a couple weeks after we did 3 angel removal sessions (pricking the skin with needles then applying a citrus-based solution to flush out the ink) to lighten them further. My original artist did the wet method, but I'm pretty sure she did NOT have me wash them, since they got so caked in product. đŹ She is still doing it today for the same cheap Groupon price (despite 21% inflation since then), giving customers half the time, effort, and manners they deserve and teaching others to do the same.
that makes me so mad. it gives PMU artists a bad name
Amazing straight to the point information packed video. Great!
thank you!!
I did wet healing aftercare my first time. I feel like my little brow strokes became blurred and not as sharp once healing process was finished. I thought maybe this was normal. Then I found out about dry healing, so when my brows needed to be refreshed, I did dry healing. This time the results were more dramatic. The strokes remained sharp. I just had my 4th touch up and plan on continuing using the dry healing method.
that's awesome! sometimes I will use dry healing on clients if wet healing didnt work as well for them.
Good feedback. I just did my touch up and think I may do dry healing.
I did wet healing and it didnât work out. Iâm doing dry healing this time
I think this is what Iâm facing. Currently on day 8 I think Iâm going to discontinue use of the balm I was provided.
When they are scabbing can you wet them ?
Thank you for the detailed and informative video. It answered all of my questions.
Great to hear! Thanks for watching. đ
thanks for the informative video! really helped calm my fears
So Glad to hear it! Hope you're slaying some brows! đ€©
Absolutely love learning from you! You are phenomenal!
Thank you so much! đđ» You are so sweet. Have you taken a microblading course before? Feel free to reach out. đ§ kristi@bossbrowsla.com
Today is my 10th day after the powder brow procedure and even tho I have scabs it's not falling off. I was afraid but after hearing, you say that the longer the scabs stay the better, I feel more relieved. My brows are scabbing and look cracked but there is no pain or swelling, I continue with the wet method and hopefully, everything goes well. Thank you for this video it helps a lot.
Youre very welcome. And usually all of the scabs fall off by day 14. But everyone is different and will heal in their own time. Just leave them alone for now and let the body do its healing. đđ»
My artist had me purchase witch hazel for wet healing. I had my touch up completed last Friday. Thank you for the rationale behind the healing process.
Youâre welcome. đ€
I love the explanation.Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Glad to find your videos I am on my first day after my microblading eyebrows.
Thats great! How do you like them? Here's another video that might be good to watch. âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Thank you so much already been watching this and it is big help how to take care my eyebrows đ„°đ€
Verry detail explanation, thq!
Glad it was helpful! đ€©
I just got mine done and Iâm 3 days in. The lady that did mine told me to clean mine and use the ointment like you said with the wet healing. My brows feel good and actually donât feel dry. Besides I think cleaning is good to get any oils away because I have combination skin. Sometimes oily and sometimes very dry. I watched your other video about using an antibacterial cleaner and I use the neutrogena and I just use my fingertips like you used and itâs working great for me. đđœ
Thatâs awesome. How do they look?
Very dark right now. I havenât started to scab yet. But Iâm ready so that I can see what they look like after it peels.
I have done the wet healing process while washing the area with antibacterial soap with no fragrance. I then place a clear cream on them and they look awesome!
awesome!
I did this but.made them fade so much by day 3. Heard should not have put water on them so confused
SO GLAD I found this video!! I should have done more research beforehand, but at least now Im better informed going forward in case I need to get mine redone. I got my eyebrows microshaded 9 days ago and I just wish I got more detailed aftercare instruction. My instructions were not to wash the brows for 3-4 days, then use the provided ointment and lightly cleanse them. I likely made the mistake of gently pat cleansing them with a damp towel rather than actually washing them with soap. All of the scabbing is gone at this point and there was no sign of any type of infection(the scabbing held a lot color though), but my brows look like almost as if I had nothing done to them. One of them looks thin and nearly the same as it did before I got this done, and the other took the color and shape a bit better but I see no hairstrokes. Maybe I am prematurely freaking out as I know the color should push back through but if it doesn't change, is this something that can be fixed during the touch up?? Of course I'll definitely be washing them much more thoroughly. Thank you for your response in advance đ
Don't stress. its all going to work out. When you go to your touch up just tell your artist of your concerns. The touch up is meant to "perfect" your work. đ
You've put me at ease and I will certainly take your advice to remain calm lol. Thank you for your response and be blessed!
Phew I have the same concern.
Thank you so much for this! I just got my eyebrows microbladed 3 days ago. My instructions were to use a "Power Repair" ointment/gel I was given 3 times a day for 5 days. "Gently remove the gel with a Qtips & re-apply a very small amount. No soap or water". Today I started noticing more puffy redness in and just above one of my brows, some very slight blisters appearing and a burning sensation. That's what made me research this more & found your video. After watching I immediately used an antibacterial foam soap and gently washed my brows. I felt an instant relief. I did not reapply the gel. As I have a very sensitive skin and some rosacea, my skin usually barely tolerates any products on it without getting red puffy and itchy. The chin, nose cheeks and the "eyebrows" area are the most sensitive to that. Silly of me to not have thought of that before. But, for that reason, a dry healing method might be best for me. I did not think about that earlier and thought what was going on might be a complication of the procedure. But now I think it was just my skin reacting to the gel. It's only been an hour now but everything looks and feels so much better. I might still use the gel in the next few days to protect my brows when I go out but I will make sure to wash it off each time. And if the reactions come back, I will immediately stop applying it for good and just use a 100% dry method. Thanks again! P.S. I don't see the final result yet as it has only been 3 days but other than what I have stated above, I'm happy so far with my new brows and have no regrets.
I actually have a great video on what to do if you think you might have an infection. đđŒ czcams.com/video/vFdBp_53xeQ/video.html
@@bossbrowsla thank you! Great video! Fortunately, since I stopped using the product and only wash my brows twice a day the way you have instructed, they are healing really well. I'm on day 6 now they look a little scally but they are not swollen anymore and no redness or pain. Just a little itchy but nothing intolerable. They seem to be following the normal sequence of healing now.
I have sensitive skin and am on my 2nd microblading sesh. (Meaning I've gotten it done before). I healed really nice and evenly.
For cleaning the eyebrows, use "CETAPHIL gentle skin cleanser" morning and night to carefully clean the eyebrow. Then apply a RICE size amount of Vitamin A & D ointment 3x a day (morning evening and night). This can be purchased on Amazon.
Lmk if you have more qs.
How did it turn out? I had my second session and did wet healing. I donât remember my artist telling me to wash my brows. Around day 8 or so I started seeing crusting and rash under the brow and hot sensation. I gently washed them in the shower and it feels better. But Iâm not sure if I should see a doctor.
In healthcare, some doctors prefer the dry healing method for wounds in order to avoid dehiscence and maceration. So it really all depends on different factors.
of course. and there are some clients that I prefer to use the dry healing
It actually depends on the type of wound that is being healed.
Great info- thanks doll!
Any time! thanks for watching!
Thank you for the helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
My artist has always recommended wet healing with cleansing, as you do. Iâve been to her numerous times within the past two years because I have one area in the front of my right eyebrow that never seems to hold pigment like the rest of my brows, and they always fade pretty quickly. Iâm now in the healing process again for the fourth time (not including touch ups) that Iâve gone to her. Weâre trying dry healing this time and it looks like color may be holding in the spot it usually doesnât, but is fading in another spot on the same eyebrow and itâs making me nervous. Fingers crossed itâs just a scab causing it to look that way. I do my aftercare and I donât go out into the sun or sweat, etc. I will say we did try a darker shade this time so hopefully when it fades it wonât be as drastic (I have dark hair and my brows are light lol) Would you have any advice for this situation? Am I just never going to be able to have good results?
Im not sure what your skin type is but that has a lot to do with it (dry, oily, combo, sensitive, etc) I have had some clients that respond better to dry healing. It can def be a case by case thing. good luck! hope it all turns out okay. đ
@@bossbrowsla Iâm combo. Got microblading yesterday. What do you recommend. My pmu gave me gel
My artist has me gently wash twice a day and super thin layer of ointment after she says if it looks shiny itâs to much. Works great for my powder brows.
That's awesome. The brows can be washed 1-2x a day. I find that with the microblading strokes, however, washing once a day is better. The strokes can be super fickle and washing them with soap and water too much can cause those strokes to dry out and therefore the scabs may fall off sooner then desired. The goal is to have those scabs stay on as long as possible for best retention. But it sounds like you are doing the right thing. đŻ I do have a video on the aftercare I recommend for my clients if youre interested in watching. âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Thanks all your tip or your experiences.
My pleasure! đ€
Thank you so much for making this video! I've had poor microblading results despite going to different artists and receiving completely opposite after care instructions and after watching this video I now understand both instructions were completely wrong because neither included cleaning the brows, the first time I was told to apply a thin layer of coconut oil constantly throughout the day so the area doesn't get dry, the second time I was told to keep the area completely dry, do not wash, do not wet. I am attempting my third microblading experience on Saturday and I am keeping my fingers crossed that following the advice from this video helps me achieve lasting pigment retention :) Ironically I have also just completed a microblading certification course and the instructions they gave me was also missing cleaning the brows! Their advise was to use either coconut oil, grapeseed oil, or vaseline 1-2 times per day without any mention of cleansing.
I don't understand why there are so many different "methods" of aftercare. yes, there are options and whatever you find works best for you, you should do. however, it seems like common sense right? like its a wound and it should be treated like one. its most likely people's inability to fully understand the skin anatomy. I am a licensed esthetician and both my father and brother are doctors so I guess that helped with my understanding of aftercare. I'[m glad this video helped. I would definitely check out my online course. it will absolutely help with achieving better pigment retention. Retention has more to do with technique than aftercare (not dismissing the aftercare just underlining the importance of stretch, pressure, angle of blade, etc). Let me know how your microblading procedure goes on Saturday... oh yeah and don't say "attempting microblading".... THINK POSITIVE! I'm sure you're going to crush it! just remember to work slow. slow and steady wins the race! if you're interested in my online course I offer payment plans. It goes over everything (including how to do combo brows and ombre- manually.) You will also get tons of hands on assignments to do at home to help you improve your Microblading and build confidence in your craft. the assignments get turned into me and I go over everything and return with tons of notes with my edits, tips and tricks to become an even better artist! here's the link if you're interested đđŒ trainlikeaboss.teachable.com
GOODLUCK! slay those brows đ€©âđŒ
Would love to hear how it went for you!
When you say youve had poor results do you mean the pigment didnt stay much or?
Thanks for such an informative video! I'm on day 4 of healing, my artist prefers the wet healing but she doesn't want us to wash the brow area, just wipe it gently with clean water on a cotton pad. Then apply a thin layer of ointment if they feel dry or itchy. I must have wiped too hard bc a scab came off on day 3 and there was tiny bit of blood I hope I haven't messed anything upđ„ș
I would def ask your artist. Next time just donât wipe as hard. Lol. But it happens to the best of us.
Thank you!!
You're welcome!đ€
very useful video, your eyebrows are beautiful btw
Thank you so much đ Im glad u liked the video
Just micro bladed my eyebrows for the first time I think for now I will try the dry healing for now
Sounds good.

Hi! Love your video thank you. Iâm in a. Crisis where I did dry healing first time and then for touch up - for nano brows - they turned black and scabbed off and were grey strokes underneath. So I healed black/Grey meanwhile I have auburn/brown hair and my eyebrows matched. My strokes were very crisp though and healed well. I went back a third time 7 weeks later for her to fix the colour. She went over it and I left very happy they were lighter again. But this time she told me to clean with water on a cotton pad morning and night, and at night to apply vaseline. My eyebrows started to get darker slower, and retain colour longer. But it was very hard to wash the vaseline off in the morning with water and a cotton pad like she said. I also read you shouldnât use vaseline so Iâm confused? This is supposed to be the number one place in Toronto. Iâm 2 weeks in, I stopped using vaseline since she said do it for 14 days - and it only now started drying up and flaking starting. But now they turned black in one day at day 15. Now Iâm very afraid theyâll stay black/grey again :( it seems like all the new coloured pigment she put on last time is completely gone! Black looks so bad on me and when I reached out to ask her what should I do she yelled at me on the phone and sent me a long email saying she never saw what was wrong with my wywbrows in the first place (THEYRE BLACK!! Iâm so fair skinned with medium to light reddish brown hair!!!!) and said she will no longer work on me because I âdonât appreciate her workâ!! All I did was ask a question to make sure I healed properly! So now I donât know what to do :( she wonât answer me and do you have any idea why this is happening or what I should do? (I have oily/combo skin but my eyebrows feel dry the more I wash them)
Iâm just so sad and now Iâd I go to someone else I have to pay full price again instead of a touch up price to fix it. Iâm beyond shocked at how these people treated me. Everytime they speak to me I felt manipulated.
Thank you for your video and kindness
AND she also told me âyou should know the healing process by now, this is your third time!â âŠbut I was asking questions because it never turned out right AND mainly because this was my FIRST time not dry healing
boo!! she should've been nicer to you. It's not like your the PMU artist. I'm sorry that happened to you. I have a good video on the correct after care. Everyone has their own way of doing it but I found this way to work great!! đ Here is the link âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
I'm sorry about this experience you had.
Thank you !!!
You're welcome! đ
Thank you so much
Any time! Thanks for watching
What cream do you use for the brows? Is Vaseline also good? My friend said her eyebrow artist told her to put vaseline on her microshaded brows.
Please advise.
I wouldn't use vaseline. its very thick/heavy. The skin needs to be able to breathe. I like the Tina Davies aftercare gel.
Mine told me to use Aquaphor
Thank you for your guidance, I love your channel.
You are so sweet! thank you for watching. đ
Your skin is amazing
Thank you. I donât think it is. But I appreciate y saying that.
I feel like a in between way worked best for me. I mainly did not apply anything, only when it started to pull and feel very dry i applied a thin layer of moisturiser in the night.
awesome!
Thank you. From the Philippines

I use wet method healing with cream only and I never had a complaint. My sister did her eyebrows somewhere else and was taught to apply cream over them only when she will feel them dry after a few days... and her brows fell down... thing that never happened to me.
that's awesome. the only thing I would be careful of is putting cream on and not washing them at least once a day. It may not happen very often but if the brows aren't kept clean while using a cream or serum, there's a chance of a "buildup" of product which means the brows can't breathe and that's how an infection happens.
@@bossbrowsla hi. 4th post microblading my there are scabs and it fell off..bow my brows are aneven. Can pls someone tell me if it's normal?
Iâm doing this all wrong . Iâm doing the wet healing no matter how much I try to not get them wet then tend to get a bit wet I Pat them dry and apply aquaphor over aquaphor . Now I noticed a little smell should I remove all this glob off and just let them dry natural from now on and hope I donât ruin them by removing all the aquaphor off
Good question. What did your microblading artist say? I would always check with him/her first. But in most cases less âproductâ such as aquafore is better. Too much of anything with clog the skin and prevent it from being able to breath. The skin needs oxygen in order to heal itself. Here is another video that might help đđ» m.czcams.com/video/vFdBp_53xeQ/video.html
Hello, have you ever used aloe vera gel from the plant on your eyebrows?That works well and it speeds the healing process up?
haven't used straight aloe but I know its great for sun burns.
Thank you for this informative explanation, I did my brows and on day 19, and I still have think scabs. I must say that this worried me until I head you saying the longer the scabs stay the better. But I think I'm an exception, 19 days seems too much and I have been watching a lot of videos after I did my brows and people heal faster. I was told to keep brows dry and apply vaseline after 12 days, but on day 1e my brows still had think scabs I was so scared. I was starting to be impatient until this vedio
you may just heal slower
Hi, how do I clean the brows. As I was told not to touch mine. Am in my 4th day after microblading
did your artist not explain how to clean them? if not I have a video to show you how đđŒ czcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Iâm going through the healing process but I think something went wrong. My skin looks toasted on the top and I have a lighter spot like a burnt. This is my first section. I am concerned since my eyebrows are uneven one more shorter than the other one. Iâm not sure if I have to wait after the second section which she have said that she can correct everything thatâs wrong but I feel like nothing should be wrong from the begging I am having a hard time, đ
do you think its infected. does it hurt? is it yellowish or super red and painful? check out this video, this may help đđŒczcams.com/video/vFdBp_53xeQ/video.html
Hi, I just had my ombre powderbrows yesterday and the instruction was to apply an ointment twice a day but never wash or wet my eyebrows for 3 days. I am hesitant to that as I am applying ointment and was thinking I should atleast clean my eyebrows to remove ointment residue.
I have a great video on aftercare but seeing as I'm just now seeing this its prob not going to be helpful. I'm sorry. but for next time., âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Hi. I really enjoy and appreciate your videos. I am a nurse and typically when I clean a wound, I use sterile saline only and a clean sterile gauze with each swipe, would you recommend this for cleaning? Also, why is it important to completely get all the numbing off before Microblading? Thank you so much!
that's a great way to clean. I just really like the green soap but your way is great too! it's going to be hard to hold the skin taught if you still have the cream on their skin so make sure to wipe it all off.
Boss brow your brows are beautifulđ. I just had mine done today When should i clean it.
Wow thank you. I can't take credit for my eyebrows. I didn't do them. My girl Lindsey from Microblading LA did. them. Love her! And I would follow any instructions you brow artist gave you. if she didn't give you any then here is a video on my aftercare recommendations. đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html

Hello! I have a mixed skin dry and oily.. I guess oily around the T zone. Which type of healing do you recommend for me?
I always recommend wet healing (for the most part) I have a good video on the aftercare steps I have my clients do. Hereâs the link đđ» m.czcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html

Hi there, just got powder brows 4 days ago for the first time. My instructions are to wipe my brows with a clean cotton pad and bottled every 2-3 hours and then apply a thin layer of ointment. She didnât mention anything about using soap. Should I be using soap?
Thatâs a good question. Some people have didnât methods for their aftercare. However, if you are applying an ointment itâs a very good idea to gently wash the brows with a mild soap Amd water at least once a day. You donât want there to be a build up of the product youâre applying otherwise the skin canât breathe. The skin needs oxygen in order to heal. đđ» Iâm not sure what u mean by wipe ur brows with a clean cotton round every 2-3 hours... do u mean just immediately after the service?
@@bossbrowsla the instructions say to wipe eyebrows clean with a cotton pad using bottled water. Clean every 2-3 hours until eyebrows have completely flaked or peeled. Apply a thin layer of ointment after every cleaning.
Got my powder brows 3 days ago, I was told to dab them with treated little cotton rounds every 15 minutes for the first day. Starting on day2 to finger wash them with cleanser she gave me rinse and dab dry with paper towel making sure theyâre really dry before applying rice grain size of ointment she gave me. Today day 3 they are scabbing up and sort of puckered is this normal? Should I continue this process thru day 14 as advised? Nervous!!!
I clean brows with damp cotton pad on first day, and same again for 2nd day if oozing. Thereafter it's dry heal til scabs fall off. And if scabs start to look dry and crusty.a.dab of cream given to them after treatment.
Awesome! have you ever tried using your secondary numbing cream or gel after your service is completely done? this will help to absorb all of the blood and lymph.
@@bossbrowsla whatâs a secondary numbing cream Kristie? Xx
primary is what you put on BEFORE the skin has been injured. secondary is what u use after the skin has been injured... its usually a gel or liquid consisting of 2-4% lidocaine and epinephrine. I actually have a video coming out on December 1st going over all of this. so make sure to subscribe and stay tuned! âđŒ
Very oily skin here, did wet healing the first two times and about 10% stayed. Third time getting my brows done. I did the dry healing and now they look perfect. Just blotted for 2 weeks
did you do microblading? bc I would recommend ombre for oily skin. but glad its working better this time around.
Do you numb your client for the first pass? Or is best to to do the first pass on dry skin?
yes I definitely numb them for the first pass. I have heard of some artists who do not. However, I find that when my client is more comfortable, my job is a lot easier. Check out this video, it may be helpful. đđŒczcams.com/video/f-QWuhXqI30/video.html
Are there any over the counter ointments I can use for wet healing? I was thinking of getting the Cerave healing ointment..
all of the serums I use for the aftercare are over the counter. You can even use coconut oil. đđ»
so you can shower after getting it done? should you wait a few days after or it's okay the next day to shower?
You can for sure shower. Just don't submerge the brows in water. Here is a helpful video đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Hi, i just had my microblading 3 days ago and it seems that I had an allergic reaction because my eyes got swollen and had some rash around it. Im not sure if its because of the ointment/serum they gave or its the ink. Can I just use the dry method instead? Thanks :)
Sorry Iâm just now responding. Hopefully u figured everything out. I have noticed some serums can cause an allergic reaction. I havenât had that problem with the one I use đ€đ» but I would consult with a doctor if u think ur having an allergic reaction... and yes I can stop using the serum if u think ur allergic. Just gently wash them once a day. Here is the video I have on aftercare (just do the washing part without the serum tho) đđ» m.czcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Just had mine. Can you still use your skin care routine and make up but except the brows?
yes. as long as you arent using anything that will exfoliate your skin. đđ»
Iâm 4days into my microblading. I was told no water. And Iâve been applying ointment 3 times a day. My skin is flaking and looks like some flakes are coming off with the strokes of ink, Iâm scared to wash because I think Iâll loose the stokes of ink. Please advise
I would follow your artist's instructions and try to not pay so much attention to them. The brows go through a lot of ups and downs in the first 10-14 days and its all perfectly NORMAL. everyone heals a little differently... some get great healing and some don't get the best retention. Once you are completely healed you can talk to your artist about your concerns and they will (or should be) addressed at the touch up đ€
This video is helpful (how I tell my clients to do their aftercare)âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Here is a video on what to expect in the two weeks after microblading âĄïž czcams.com/video/dWyFk4jsQmE/video.html
Iâm so confused. My artist advised me not to get brows wet at all. If I am washing brows then doesnât that mean they will be wet??? Please explain! Iâm so confused still!!!!
I can see why its confusing. There are different healing methods. That's what this video is going over; wet vs. dry healing. Wet healing just means using a product to aid in the healing process. However, if one is using a product to aid in healing, its imperative to cleanse (very gently) the brows at least once a day so there is no build up of product and the skin can still breathe. So your artist was right in saying, "don't get them wet". You do NOT want to submerge the eyebrows in water. (ie: go swimming, avoid drowning the brows in water while showering, etc.) I do wish that I used the word "submerge in water" instead of "getting wet" bc I think it would've been a little less confusing. Here is my video on the aftercare I recommend for my clients. âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html

Thankyou
Youâre welcome đ
I know they say donât wear make up for two weeks after micro blading but is it ok if I put on some mascara ? My eyebrow are so big and black my eyes look so strange now with no mascara đ Iâm only on day 2 .
of course!! you just don't want to put makeup on the area that was microbladed. đđ»
Just had my first day of getting them micro bladed (combination), she gave me a moisturizer and a cleanser. I donât know if Iâm washing my brows correctly. I believe she wanted me to gently wash in a circular motion (with cleanser/ a little bit of water), that I put a little rice grain size of cleanser on. Then, should I splash my eyebrows with water and do the circular motion again while washing the cleanser off? After I pat it dry, then I put the moisturizer on, and do I just pat it on my brows or do the circular motion again with the little rice grain size?.
I have a good video on what we recommend for aftercare. âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
My artist said I shouldnt get my eyebrows wet for 7 days and that I should use a tattoo creme 2x a day for those first 7 days. Im now on day 9 and have no scabbing, I hope this is normal?
everyone heals differently. so don't worry. its not a bad thing. And as far as specifics when it comes to aftercare, will vary from artist to artist. However, it sounds like our artist gave you good instructions! đŻ
So one question how are you suppose to shower without getting your brows a little wet.
This seems like aftercare is exactly like when you do a tattoo.. you put Vaseline for 3days dont get wet then after that let it heal
I've never had a problem avoiding getting the eyebrows wet when in the shower... if you are aware of it, then you will go out of your way to not put your face directly under the water. đđ» I would also recommend not taking super long, hot, steamy showers.
I got my eyebrows micro bladed yesterday. I have very oily skin. I was only told to wet a pad with soapy water, pat my eyebrows with it and then pat it down afterwards. I was told to only do this morning and night. I noticed oozing after my wash today. What should I go. Is the procedure Iâm going with not working for my skin? Am I not cleaning enough.
have you asked your artist? I would contact her. I also wouldn't mess with them too much. especially bc you just got them micro bladed. Here is the aftercare I recommend for my clients âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
The place where I got the ombre told me to use Vaseline every 3-4 hours . Iâm on day 3 and it starting to lift and fall off . The skin feels healthy though .
that seems like A LOT! you want the brows to be able to breathe.
im doing the dry healing but so far whats flaked off has shown no pigment underneath at all :( it looks like i have less brows than before lol, idk if thats normal, my artist says they look great and pigment will come through in a week or two but all i see is light pink skin rip
your artist is correct. Right after the scabs fall off, the brows look super super light! Thats bc youre looking at baby skin. The skin isn't fully healed. You need to wait another 2 weeks for the new healthy skin to grow in and you will see color re-appear. And whatever didnt retain- you can fix at the touch up. đ€
@@bossbrowsla oh thank God okay I'll trust the process. She def has to add more color as I want basically charcoal Brows but she did a warm tone layer first so I don't have green Brows eventually lol
With dry do you still wash them once a day everyday or is it just the first two day you wash them donât wet them at all?
I don't really do dry healing but since you're not applying any product to the area, you technically don't need to wash them. if they seem like they need to be washed then very gently wash them with soap and water. Just use your best judgement.
My skin is oily so because of that I have to use the dry method. My artist recommended I gently blot my eyebrows and forehead everyday. But as far as cleansing, not sure how to do that just yet lol
I'm not sure why your artist said that you had to do the dry method due to you having oily skin. im so curious what the thought process was on that one... đ€
@@bossbrowsla she mentioned to me that because my skin is so oily, the dye may not fully take. So I have to keep them as dry as possible.
How do they look with the dry healing ?
@@esmehan6404 how did it go with dry healing? I also have oily skin
@@Pattylove826 dry healing was definitely the way to go for me and I was diligent with dabbing (the excess oil) from my eyebrows.
Hi! How many days from the day of microblading can I wash my brows?
well that depends on what type of healing you're doing. I recommend the brows be washed days 1-5 of healing. Here is a good video. (btw. when I say don't get the brows "wet" in the video what I mean is don't "submerge the brows in water") đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
@@bossbrowsla I was told 10-14 days! I may wash my hair lying in the bath using the shower head and then wash my body. I mean when I was told you can't get them wet for about 14 days I was like what? The pigment that will suit me will arrive in a couple of days (was out of stock) she also said no retinol , vitamin c, acids even niacinimide đ€ Well im not going to forgo all that and look like a prune just to keep my brows fresh. I'll just go every now and again for a top up
Can I dye my hair after microblading? I wanted to get highlights and I wasn't sure how long I have to wait.
dye your hair on your head? or eyebrow hair? you would want to wait 4 weeks after microblading to tint your eyebrows.
I got ombre powderbrows on Thursday and on Saturday when I woke up, for a minute I forget I had them done haha. So I jumped into the shower and I was like NOOO they recommended to keep them dry and avoid, water, sweat etc. Now I'm a bit worried, but I hope the results will turn out okay. The skin already feels a bit patchy. I do not touch them now. We will see :-(
Oh no! đ€Šââïž don't worry. its happened to the best of us! lol. im sure it will be fine. hopefully they turn out beautiful!
Can you wash the brows in the first 7 days???
yes. I have a video on how I recommend to take care of the eyebrows. đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
It's been 3 days but accidentally my eyebrows got contact with water will the colors fade away bcos of water?
no, not necessarily. just try to avoid submerging them in water. đđ»
I just got my eyebrows micro bladed with the touch up ( 3 months after original) and itâs only been 3 weeks and they are pretty much completely gone again. đą. I was told the wet method snd followed the instructions exactly as she said. I do take thyroid medication and I think she said that it may cause my skin to not keep the pigment. Iâm so disappointed and am afraid to tell her.. I just wonder if thereâs anything she could do at this point.. what are your thoughts?
I would definitely talk to her. Not everyone is a candidate for microblading but that doesn't mean you can't do other services like the ombre brow. I would just have a conversation with her. Im sure she wants you happy so don't be scared to have a chat đ€
@@bossbrowsla thank you, I will send her an email soon.
Can u please make some videos how to do the right way og wet healing? Thanks
i'm not sure if thats a typo "og"... but i do have a video on how i do wet healing. obviously its not the ONLY way to do wet healing. There are a lot of different products out there and different opinions on how to properly do wet (or dry) healing. However this is how i recommend to do wet healing. i've had great success with it. đđŒ czcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
How do you cleanse your brows if your not suppose to get them wet??
I sent you a link to a video that may be helpful.
@@bossbrowslahello! May I get the link as well?
What would you recommend for microshading healing?
I would recommend the same aftercare. It's still an injury to the skin (permanent makeup/tattoo) and it needs oxygen to heal. therefore, gently rinsing the brows with soap and water 1-2x/day and applying the aftercare serum 2-3 times a day (never over apply). hopefully that helped.
Can we use aelovera gel as wet healing?
ive neve used aloe for healing. I wouldn't tho... I would stick to aquafor or Tina Davies after care serum.
Day 9 and mine is not peeling off is that normal?
What product you recommend dear?
I use Tina Davies Aftercare Gel. its the best!! ive never had anyone have a bad reaction to the product. here is the link đđŒtinadavies.com/products/aftercare-healing-gel-10-pack-2
Iâm on day 2 and my strokes look too thick. Should I try wiping them off or just let them heal?
im confused? did yo already micro blade them? You can't wipe that off. But if they feel thick, maybe your mm is too much or maybe you're going too deep, however im not sure if I understand the question.
@@bossbrowsla yeah on day 2 I just kept rubbing the thick strokes with alcohol wipes and now they are gone completely a week later. I wanted feather strokes. Either the artist isnât good or they used too thick of a needle.
I just got mine done yesterday and was told to not get them wet for 2 weeks. Right now I am just applying the ointment they gave me once a day. Should I be cleaning the area already or go with what they said? Iâm a confused
There is different healing methods. Personally, I have my clients wash them once a day (very gently with fingertips) while theyâre using the serum. This way there is no buildup of product on the brows. Itâs important that the brows can breath. They need oxygen to heal. BUT... Iâm not your artist and donât want to cause any confusion. So I would always do what your artist says. You chose her/him for a reason đ€đ
I did micro blading with wet healing followed by the touch up and after 3 months they looked grey and soooo faded.
I was soooo let down bc I paid 650$ and obviously want it to work and look nice.
I showed the girl my pics and she redid the touch up .
âïžAny tips for me- if this fades away again I will feel so defeated and like I wasted all the moneyâïžđą
She can try to do some color correcting but as far as what you can do I would just say try to stay out of the sun (like wear a hat if youre laying out). Hopefully the touch up will make it better.
How soon after can we wash the brows and cleanse
Here is a great video on the aftercare process. đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
@@bossbrowsla I did my brows Saturday and I have a hair appointment this Friday. I got some brow shields but do you think the heat from the blower dryer may cause damage to the brows?

Maybe the dry healing is more suited with people with oily skin?
maybe... everyone is so different so both can be used. However, I prefer the wet method. Not to say that I don't use the dry method for a few of my clients. I do have a good video on the aftercare recommendations I use for. my clients. Check it out.... maybe it will help. đ€
âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
I did wet the area with micellar hyaluronic aloe water by Garnier and then put bepanthol cream at third day. Because i I don't like them are too dark ... i am on the 4 day....
they will lighten a lot after healing
My artist said avoid my brows from getting wet 7-10 days, well i had tattooes, and microblading is the same so i guess the aftercare i had for my tattoes i'll do the same on my brows. Cause if i will keep putting ointment or cream on my brows without washing 'em i got scared that thick scab will build up.
exactly. if you put ointment on them without washing you actually run the risk of infection. bc the skin can't breath. but gently washing them and getting them "wet" (ie: swimming, etc) is different. I have a video on the aftercare I recommend. here is the link đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
@@bossbrowsla yeah, thanks boss đ
I did wet it worked great for me
thats amazing!
So I wasnât given after care instructions I was just told to put this antimicrobial ointment day and night and to not get them wet at all I did a combo of micropigmentation and micro blading do you have any tips or advice on what i should do
congrats on your new brows! âšâšâšâš it sounds like she /he did give you after care instructions. They may differ a little from what I recommend but that's okay. if you want to see what I recommend here is a good video đđŒczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
@@bossbrowsla it just would have been nice to get something written but I was having a allergic reaction like I have small bumps on my eyebrow
Hi. Lets say you go from microblading and dont like the results. Could you have Ombre Brows done successfully after your microbladed brows fully heal?
Yes you can!
thank u!
definitely
thank u.
Can anybody recommend a good spf with no white cash for microbladed brows please.
I think bowler just came out with a new one. Ive never used it but I would check it out.
Oh wow, thanks for the info! This really helps as I'm at the healing stage right now. Oh, I also did a vlog on the procedure. Check it out & Let me know what you think?
wow thats awesome. i will!
@@bossbrowsla thank you! I really appreciate it
Dry healing works best for me.
with dry healing do you still clean the brows? ive done both dry and wet so im always curious what other artists do.
@@bossbrowsla I clean them on the day of and the next day with a cotton bud a the tiniest bit of distilled water. After that I leave them alone for about 7 days and find that my brows last a very long time. I also have oily skin. I just make sure no makeup or sunscreen touches that area and I keep my workouts mild to avoid excess sweating.
How do you clean when it starts scabbing?
ill link the video I have on after care đđ» czcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Heelp mine is so dark, and I'm going to meet my boyfriend for the first time about 7 days đŹđŹđŹ will that dark colour be lighten more up there? đŹđŹđŹ I'm going on a 15 hours flight trip.. oh no what am I going to do?! đ±
How did it go?
@@_lil.diva_2933 impressive good! My brows are perfect now, so they didnt looked crazy dark when I met my boyfriend, and here i am, with my boyfriend đ
sorry I have been super busy moving so I know this is now to late but YES! the brows will lighten a lot. The first few days the brows are super dark. There's not much you can do about it... but your bf loves you for you... đ not your eyebrows so I'm sure he will understand that the healing is a little bit of a process.
I just got my POWDER BROWS 5 days ago with a dry healing method and the artist said that my brows must be dry in 10 days.
So until now i've never wet my brows đ i just use cotton to clean my face
Can i take shower on the 7th day? Is that allow?
Thank you :)
More power
sorry Im just now seeing this. You an absolutely shower. Just be careful not to get the brows wet. Basically you don't want to submerge the eyebrows in water. đđ» Hope the brows turned out great! Here is a video on aftercare âĄïžczcams.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/video.html
Check why the CC option brings a text of things unrelated to your video, both in English and another language (possibly Asian).
That is so strange and thank you for pointing that out. đđ»
It is day 5 currently of my micro blading and it is starting to itch and flake. What is a good product to use so I donât accidentally scratch? Aquaphor is not really helping.
I hate that part but unfortunately its just part of the process.. just try not to itch them đ©
I feel all of those aftercare institutions like âdo not sweat, do not take hot showers, do not do this or that or do not get the brows wetâ are just to look for excuses why the pigment did not take. I see clearly on second day which strokes took the pigment which once will pill off. It is always the artist not the healing process. If they did not get the pigment deep enough it will not stay even if you stop moving for 2 weeks đ±đ
Technique has a lot to do with pigment retention. But so does after care (believe it or notâŠ) I would just recommend seeing someone who has plenty of experience when you want to get microblding done. đđ»
Youâre not supposed to do any of that after a tattoo as well.
