Helyx Hybrid Dyes give the hair a rich, deep long-lasting colour with the added benefit of skin staining to help fill sparse, patchy areas of the brow. Included in the dye is KereVeg 18, a plant-based keratin alternative that nourishes, hydrates, and strengthens hair by up to 21% during a Helyx Hybrid Dye Treatment.
Hybrid dye offers more staying power than a standard tint and creates stronger colour saturation. The dye lasts around seven to ten days on the skin and up to five weeks on the brow hairs. This makes Hybrid Brows a great option for clients with sparse brows, patchy growth or anyone wanting a crisp, sculpted shape.
At Beauty Tonic in Hastings, Hybrid Brows are customised for each client. Your therapist will choose the right shade to suit your colouring and blend tones to create a balanced brow shape that enhances your features.
What Are Hybrid Brows?
Hybrid Brows use a specialised brow dye that combines the lasting power of henna with the softness of a traditional tint. The hybrid formula penetrates deeper into the hair shaft, giving a longer, richer and more even colour.
The result is a fuller looking brow with improved shape, colour and definition. It also helps cover light patches, create symmetry and add structure to the face.
Hybrid Brows suit:
- Fair or light brows
- Sparse or patchy brows
- Clients who want a more makeup styled look
- Clients wanting a longer lasting tint
- First time brow clients who want noticeable results

How Long Do Hybrid Brows Last?
Hybrid dye lasts:
- Up to 10 days on the skin
- Up to 5 weeks on the brow hairs
Longevity depends on your skin type, skincare routine and how well you follow aftercare. Oily skin types may see a shorter skin stain, while dry or balanced skin usually holds the colour longer.
