I’m on day 13 and I look CRAZY!😂 The fronts of my eyebrows have flaked off but the rest is pretty dark and scabby. I have vertical cracks in them and everything. 😅
Thank you so much! I'm on day 8 and my eyebrows are disappearing and I was starting to regret spending all that money but you're right, the skin is pink and I need to trust the process, can't wait for the pigment to come back
Yes! it's scary the first time. I'm glad you are trusting the process. All of the pigment will not come back, however. Once the brows are healed, there is about 20-40% fading and those strokes will soften. Therefore, they won't be as crisp as they were on day one. Do you have a complimentary touch up? or did you already book a touch up? most likely you will need one since it's your first time getting your eyebrows done.
My eyebrow tech told me to put lots of aquaphor for 7 days & they would only get 30% lighter & they are not supposed to scab due to the pigment coming off and my eyebrows look awesome. So i’m glad i listened to my girl.
thats great! always listen to your artist. the fading will vary greatly depending on the individual. everyone's skin is so different so it does vary between 20-50%. aqua fore is similar to the serum we use.. the only difference is the serum we use is medical grade and used specifically for PMU. As far as "scabbing" goes... anytime there is an injury to the skin it will scab over, however, it should look more like a very thin film if done correctly... more scabbing means the client bled more and/or the artist didnt hold the skin taut enough while blading. I like to use the word "scab" so clients understand the healing process.
Love the video! I’m at day 8 & the low level scabs are flaming off. And it’s the “where’s my color!”…. Even tho I have the card in the healing process, I needed a little more reassurance. Time to breathe & sleep 😴
You’re so cute and I Love your presentation and how you use your phone. Thank you for explaining and reassuring us about the process of microblading and what to expect. I just had my brows done and cried for all the reasons you mentioned in the video but now I feel reassured, thanks to you 🌷🙏🏻
OMG ! Thank you so much ! I am on day 5 and have the impression that most of the ink is gone, on areas where scabs have fallen off. I will be patient then and try to trust the process… I am glad to know that I will soon be able to hide it with pencil :)!
trust me when I say there is a roller coaster of emotions after getting your brows done for the first time but it will pass. youre going to love them!!!
You actually explained it to me, not my brow artist. Now I don't have to freak out, but I will tell her on my next appointment that she should explain all if this to newbies like me.
God bless you for this video! My brows are so patchy and not symmetrical… freaking out. The waiting game is killing me! When you mentioned the touch up process, I felt much better! 😅❤
I suffer of alopecia universalis , and my eyebrows were falling last year , and this year i bought for myself a wig and i contact a microblading artist . All good u til yesterday , Im on 5 day healing process and i can see spots where " eyebrows " are complettly none . I dont know if the pignent wasnt strong enought . But in 30 days i have a new appointment for do the second thing . Thank you so much for your video , i came here because i was afraid . Hugggs !
of course. I just worked on a client who has alopecia and she had A LOT of fading... more than I would've liked. but we were able to address the fading at her touch up appointment and they look great now. Can't wait to see them healed. Good luck with yours. (if you want to see her brows check out my IG account @bossbrowsla 😊)
I know.... so funny right?! I EVEN did the SAME THING when I first got ombre brows done and I do this for a living... LOL! so its just fun to make fun of all of our reactions.. Hope you love your eyebrows! 🤗
That's perfectly normal! After microblading, your eyebrows may appear darker and more intense than expected. This is because the pigment is deposited into the upper layers of the skin, causing the color to appear more vibrant. Over time, the color will fade and soften, resulting in a natural-looking shade that matches your natural brow color. The darkness is usually most noticeable in the first 7-10 days after the procedure. As your skin heals, the color will gradually lighten and settle into a more natural-looking shade. If you have concerns about the color, it's best to consult with your microblading technician or aesthetician. They can assess your brows and provide guidance on how to care for them during the healing process. Remember, everyone's healing process is different, and it may take a few weeks for the color to fully settle. Be patient, and you'll be enjoying your beautifully shaped and colored brows in no time!
Most helpful post microblading eyebrows I have seen on here thank you so much. I was thinking of texting my technician to complain that it's all fallen off after just 2 weeks now I don't need to, I will trust the process and wait until my touch up appt.
Hi ! Thank you for your videos !!! Can you please please send me the video that you did on making the tina davies ink chart ! You made your own chart on the tina davies “ink collection “ it was wonderful explaining and showing what the color looked like from the darkest to what it will truly look when it’s healed . Can Kristi please send the video to me ? i’m sure other newbie’s would want to see it again,it was so helpful 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I actually did a live on IG and now I can't find it. ive been looking everywhere. its so strange. but I do plan on making a new video on how to make a color chart (which is basically what I did on that IG live) but haven't had a chance to edit the video yet 😩 The only other videos I have regarding color are these ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/iIhU7leUD5w/v-deo.html ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/82wnxyyRXY4/v-deo.html
I am on day 7 and have looked at all the pictures and videos on the healing process and I swear mine look nothing like the photos. I can't even tell from the photos that there is scabbing going on. I would describe my scabbing as thick and gross. My tech thought I'd bleed more but she said I didn't. I didn't have the swelling or the pain at all. She did say I had thick skin. She also told me not to get any water on them for two weeks. I have read and seen video of people saying to wash the eyebrows or using ointment on them. She didn't tell me anything other than do not get them wet and stay out of the sun so I am following her advice and hoping for the best.
there are different healing methods. Here is a good video to explain that. ➡️ua-cam.com/video/VJ6JpAg6cfw/v-deo.html everyone is a little different but hopefully everything worked out!
I didn't realize the healing process is so long (almost a month). I had a consult for tomorrow and I rescheduled it, having second thoughts, not sure it's worth it in my case. I have eyebrows, just wanted a little tweaking here and there. I may just stick with what I'm doing now (makeup) and save myself the money and the pain LOL!!
personally, I would say its totally worth it. the most visible healing process happens in the first 10-14 days. after that you can put makeup on the brows, get them wet, etc. It just takes the skin a full 30 days to heal (all layers). I have a lot of clients who say "I wish I wouldve done this sooner!" but at the same time.... its not for everyone so do what's best for you. 😊
Thank you so much for this! This lessen my anxiety a bit as I am now in my 5th day and looked like the ink fell off with the scab (it was so light colored like it was not there at all) 🥲 but I'm glad I found this video and now I know it's all normal. This video is really helpful especially for first-timers like me! ❤
So, will I look crazy going to work & other places in those first 2 weeks before I’m able to put makeup on the brows to fill in patches? I’m also worried how to remove face makeup if I can’t get that area wet in the first week? Thanks so much for this info! 💜
totally get it. but as long as youre careful it will be okay. I like using those neutragena face wipes to remove makeup which is helpful. and yes... you don't want to put makeup on the eyebrows until all of those scabs fall off but you can wear makeup everywhere else. here is a video showing how I do my aftercare ➡️ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
Thank you for the information. I have been wanting to do micro blading but I was not sure of the healing process, very similar to a normal tattoo healing or at least in my experience.
Have just had mine done for about the 4th time (over years) I absolutely hate the healing process and still stress about it. The biggest pain is being told not to sleep on your side! I am a side sleeper and absolutely cannot sleep on my back. Am I supposed to not sleep for 1-2 weeks??? Also trying to wash hair without getting brows wet. It is eventually worth it but boy what a nitemare 🤣
Thank you so much, this was a helpful video! I got my eyebrows done a week ago but the next day I played volleyball. I don’t know if the sweat messed up my eyebrows 😭
Gosh tomorrow I’m gonna do my eyebrows and I have to go duty too lmao Idk how am I gonna deal with after watching this😂😂 how am I gonna work with those crack?
What happens if I sweat? I wanna get my brows done but I’m in the army and am forced to work out every single day 😅 I don’t want it to ruin them ! Any tips?
well its recommended to minimize sweating but sometimes you cant help it. just try dabbing the sweat off and keep them covered with a hat so you don't get sun burnt.
Great video. Although in my case, i feel like the healing has gone by "faster" i am on day 7 and have a very small amount of scabs left... should i worry for a fast recovery lol and yes i am on the "where did my eye brows go" phase. 😅
I just had my brows mb’d … I was expecting them to be dark but my brows look super red/orange toned. Has me freaking out I look like Ronald McDonald. I haven’t heard anyone mention about the tone I am afraid she used too warm toned ink on me. For reference my natural brows are light ash brown :(
My artist gave me a solution to dab with my middle finger over my brow every 2-3 hours, followed up with dabbing dry with paper towel and then dabbing barrier balm over them. This is considered a “wet heal”, yes? All of that touching makes me feel like I’m going to wipe the ink off and I get anxiety 😥 I’m not heavy handed with it-but the combo of touching with the a liquid substance (the solution) freaks me out. Thoughts?
@@bossbrowsla thank you. Also, I mindlessly splashed my in tire face with water when I went to wash my face instead of only the lower half (first and only time I have done this during this process) and as soon as I realized what I did I immediately began dabbing my brows with a paper towel. How serious is getting your face wet and should I be good? This is day 10
I had the original process 2 weeks ago and I have not had any scabbing- nothing even close. I have been using the specific wash and tattoo gel she gave me and have pretty diligent in exposing my eyebrows to water. I can't talk with my brow artist because she is adamant that you must commit to be available for the second appointment and I had to leave and attend to a sick friend and will not be back in time. I don't need the headache of her disappointment. Thoughts?
What about i got nanoblading and results was good for me it almost disappear except 40% from it so i got refill session after 35 days but i feel so bad now i did it 16 days ago and my eyebrows still so heavy and didnot fall like before retouch session what can i do now to decrease this scabbard eyebrows??
There are a couple reasons people get bad retention: skin type (oily, sensitive, etc), poor execution of the service (artist's ability) or poor aftercare. If microblading doesn't work for you bc of skin type you could always try an ombre brow.
So I really want to get this done, I have hardly any eyebrow hair at the tails of my brows and I'm so tired of always having to use makeup cause it's obvious that it's makeup half the time... But my skin is really oily :( I'm not sure what to do.
I have the same problem. I don't have a thyroid due to my thyroid removal. My hormones are all over the place and my eyebrows fell off. I got Microblanding 5 days ago and looked crazy "Frida Kahlo" eyebrows. My scabs fells off starting the 4th day, I heal pretty fast. I'm actually glad I did it, I have eyebrows now and now I can't wait to see how they look after 30 days.
Hi I had mine done 9 days ago Left side started scabbing earlier than right side but now right side too Left side seems to scab more than right side 😀 is it a problem? One more thing, after 14 days, can I wash my whole face as usual with gentle cleanser?
wait until all of the scabs have fallen off before washing them or getting them wet like normal. 14 days is just how long it "usually" takes... but everyone is different. which is why one side may have started scabbing sooner. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't worry 😉
I just had my brows done yesterday; she called them hybrid brows, a mix between powder brows and something else. There are no visible lines representing hair lines, just looks like she filled in the white outlined eyebrows she had previously drawn on my face. She said to avoid working out hard because sweating profusely can pull out some of the ink. Is that correct? If so, how long should I avoid working out hard? Is it okay to work out with light sweating going on?
Hi. I’ve just had my eyebrows microbladed for the first time last week and was wondering after the touch up, am I not aloud to get them wet again, just like the first time?
As an artist, if I made a little oops and need to do some fine tuning before having the client wait 6-8 weeks, is it ok to have them back in my chair to do that within the first 3 days they had their first session? Or should wait until touch up? Thanks!
NO! don't do it! You will be causing injury to injury. Just don't draw an attention to your mistake and if attention has been drawn to it already just say it will be perfected at the touch up... totally normal!
Don’t submerge them in water for 10-14 days. If you are in the pool that’s okay (as long as you are not getting ur face wet). Work outs depend … the goal is to not sweat a lot. So no saunas or hot yoga. Those types of things.
I'm getting mine done next week and this is what I'm worried about. I can't even get my eyebrows waxed anymore because i swell so bad. I hope it all turned out okay for you!
THANK YOU so muuuuccch Kristi, you're an absolute angelllll!!! I came here panicking as well cause I have huge gapssss, but now I understand that it's needed to fall off.. But I ám wondering.. I've put my face under my shower really quickly like 2 times.. did that mess everything up? 😰 The lady said to me that it can get wet but not too much.. I don't even know what that means 😭🤣 Again, thank u so muchhh 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤❤✨✨✨
Thank you. And NO! you will be fine. 👍🏻 Don't worry!! Just avoid taking really LONG, HOT, STEAMY showers and "submerging" the eyebrows in water. If they got a little wet and it was super quick, thats fine. It's not the end of the world. I have a great video with detailed instructions (recommendations) for aftercare if youre interested. ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
Hey! What happens if i dont go to the touch up after getting my first microblading done? Quite honestly i dont like having those perfect thick black blocks in the middle of my face 😮. I wanted it do be discreet and natural( thats why i chose microblading over the shading) …well lets say its a disaster 😮 will it fade away faster and look more natural if i don’t go to the touch up after it heals? 😅 thanks!!
This is a great question. It really is case by case... if your touch up is included (which mine are) I would go to the appointment and tell the artist your concerns. This way if something can be done to adjust your eyebrows to your liking, it can be done. However, this is totally up to you so I don't want to tell you what to do... just a recommendation. Did you already get your eyebrows done? if so, what is it that you don't like about your brows?
Don't worry you are still in the first week You have another 3 weeks to go. I would wait and see how they heal afterwards and then make an opinion. Do you have a touch up scheduled with your artist? Any of your concerns can be addressed at your touch up. good luck
@Boss Brows Hi, they have really toned down now & looking much more natural. After Easter I will book in my follow up with her, I'm much happier now I really should have trusted the process more. One thing I didn't realise was they only last 1-2 years...expensive eyebrow maintenance! Unsure if I will continue when mine eventually fade.
Ahhh I'm on day 10 and I'm just dying to do a clay mask but I don't want to risk getting it on my eyebrows or having to scrub near them too much -.- Soon, I'll at least wait another 5 days Girl could I get the crisp brow hairs after healing if I went for a 2nd touch up?
I just got it done today and one eyebrow looks way too thick 😭 what can I do? I’m also worried they’re too dark and just poorly done because I thought they looked too dark immediately when she showed me but the first time I got it done I didn’t feel that way.
I would wait until all of those scabs have fallen off organically. Here is a good video on how to take care of the brows. ➡️ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
I just had mine done for the first time, and yes the lines are very crisp, but im worried bc on one brow the lines go the "right way, with the hair" but the other brow the lines are more vertical.... hoping this will fade and not be so noticeable as it heals....???
Usually when people bleed a lot they will scab over so im surprised you didn't. But thats great. How do they look? what day of healing are you on? Its hard to say what the final result will look like until they are COMPLETELY done healing. (30 days) 💯
ok but my question is - is it normal that one brow looks thicker and both are not exactly the same shape? When the artist did the mapping for me the shape and thickness was fine for both and they looked symmetrical but the end result is definitely not the same. By the way i did micro shading. Now- can we readjust the thickness after healing?
I feel like that is really fast. Some people heal faster and depending on your age, (younger people's skin turns over faster) that could happen. However, I would ask your artist at your touch up appointment.
I am in day 4 and there is no change except they become darker more and more and there is no scabing they didn’t fall of yet is it normal ? Even that i am in day 4?
I know that you mentioned not seeing pigment where the scabs fell out is normal but I'm still worried the pigment didn't retain at all because I have slightly oily skin. I looked up a lot of videos of other girls healing processes and it seems that they've still had very light/visible pigment even with the ghosting stage. Do you think my case is normal? I've been following the aftercare I'm suppose to do which is wet healing. Do you think dry healing might've better for my case since I have oily skin?
you can wash your face but try not to mess with the brows until all of those scabs have fallen off completely. if they have fallen off but are stuck in the hair, they will come off with a good face cleanse. 👍🏻
Dear BB, I am learning how to do it to myself. i want to try mixing inexpensive organic pigment and none organic, myself, not to have issues with grey or red brows.. Is that a good idea? On ebay they only sell organic pigment, so it seems. I dont want anything expencive, since Im not sure how it will go. Is it possible to find a good inexpensive Hybrid pigment ? Nothing like that on ebay... My color should be medium brown, my skin is on thick side. Please advice, thank you in advance.
i got my eyebrows microbladed about 9 days ago. So is it normal for scabs fall off completely by the end of 7th day? mine literally did that and i was planning on calling on Monday.
typically you want the scabs to stay on as long as possible for best healing/retention. however, everyone is different. If you are very young your skin could just heal faster.
I did mine 18 days ago and they look like i did nothing and i still have some dry skin in them.. is this normal will they become darker again so I can see the lines? I loved them but now i’m afraid they didnt stick 😢
Heres me panicking as I went for the yearly top up 11 days ago and have gaps missing where the scabs gone but cant see any pigment. Not even old pigment. Is this normal? Will it come back? 🙈
I am a Microblading artist. I love this video! It’s what I say to my clients all the time! She’s right on! Don’t stress ladies!

After microblading done I found My eyebrows have not match with each other so I'm scared so I wash it up with face wash. Any suggestions

I like using those neutragena face wipes to remove makeup which is helpful. and yes... you don't want to put makeup on the eyebrows until all of those scabs fall off but you can wear makeup everywhere else. here is a video showing how I do my aftercare ➡️ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
Thank you for the information. I have been wanting to do micro blading but I was not sure of the healing process, very similar to a normal tattoo healing or at least in my experience.
yes it is very similar.
Have just had mine done for about the 4th time (over years) I absolutely hate the healing process and still stress about it. The biggest pain is being told not to sleep on your side! I am a side sleeper and absolutely cannot sleep on my back. Am I supposed to not sleep for 1-2 weeks??? Also trying to wash hair without getting brows wet.
It is eventually worth it but boy what a nitemare 🤣
I wouldn't stress over it. They will look great.
So helpful ❤
Glad it was helpful!
Great Video ❤
Thank you!
Thank you so much, this was a helpful video! I got my eyebrows done a week ago but the next day I played volleyball. I don’t know if the sweat messed up my eyebrows 😭
Oh no! hopefully it did not mess them up.
May I ask, did it mess them up? Similar thing happened to me and I am so worried now
Thank you
You're welcome
you are amazing.
wow. thank you!
Gosh tomorrow I’m gonna do my eyebrows and I have to go duty too lmao Idk how am I gonna deal with after watching this😂😂 how am I gonna work with those crack?
Lol. You will be okay.
R those pearls I love the headband
haha yes. not real though. I think I got it for my wedding. like my engagement party.
@@bossbrowsla I figured haha but it’s cute I have a few pearl things trying to add more to my collection
Thank you for sharing
you're welcome!
What happens if I sweat? I wanna get my brows done but I’m in the army and am forced to work out every single day 😅 I don’t want it to ruin them ! Any tips?
well its recommended to minimize sweating but sometimes you cant help it. just try dabbing the sweat off and keep them covered with a hat so you don't get sun burnt.
Don't do it.
Great video. Although in my case, i feel like the healing has gone by "faster" i am on day 7 and have a very small amount of scabs left... should i worry for a fast recovery lol and yes i am on the "where did my eye brows go" phase. 😅
not at all. some people heal faster bc of age. usually all of the scabs will be gone between day 10-14
Thank you for posting this super helpful. I was in a panic I'm on day 5 😂. Where are my eyebrows? 😂😂😂
lol
I just had my brows mb’d … I was expecting them to be dark but my brows look super red/orange toned. Has me freaking out I look like Ronald McDonald. I haven’t heard anyone mention about the tone I am afraid she used too warm toned ink on me. For reference my natural brows are light ash brown :(
no that's normal pigment can look super warm immediately after.
Just came here as mine are day 5 healing 😱
hope you love your new brows!
I wish I had seen this last year. I had them for 11 months and I hate them from day one.
im so sorry. That's awful
This takes too long. I'll just continue to pencil in.
thats always an option too! 😊
Omggg thank you so much, it’s my second day and my eyebrows are too dark i look like cleopatra i cried a lot cuz i thought thats the end result 😂💔
no don't worry im sure they are going to look amazing!
My artist gave me a solution to dab with my middle finger over my brow every 2-3 hours, followed up with dabbing dry with paper towel and then dabbing barrier balm over them. This is considered a “wet heal”, yes? All of that touching makes me feel like I’m going to wipe the ink off and I get anxiety 😥 I’m not heavy handed with it-but the combo of touching with the a liquid substance (the solution) freaks me out. Thoughts?
you won't wipe the pigment off but I agree with you... I think touching them too much isn't good. maybe just stick to morning and night. 👍🏻
@@bossbrowsla thank you. Also, I mindlessly splashed my in tire face with water when I went to wash my face instead of only the lower half (first and only time I have done this during this process) and as soon as I realized what I did I immediately began dabbing my brows with a paper towel. How serious is getting your face wet and should I be good? This is day 10
So, by the time they're completely healed (3-4 wks) it's time to get it done again!
they will be completely healed at 4 weeks. however I dont do my touch ups until 8 weeks. That's just me. everyone is different.
I had the original process 2 weeks ago and I have not had any scabbing- nothing even close. I have been using the specific wash and tattoo gel she gave me and have pretty diligent in exposing my eyebrows to water. I can't talk with my brow artist because she is adamant that you must commit to be available for the second appointment and I had to leave and attend to a sick friend and will not be back in time. I don't need the headache of her disappointment. Thoughts?
I don't think you should worry. not everyone scabs over due to really good technique 👌🏻 and/or skin type. I'm sure everything will be fine.
What about i got nanoblading and results was good for me it almost disappear except 40% from it so i got refill session after 35 days but i feel so bad now i did it 16 days ago and my eyebrows still so heavy and didnot fall like before retouch session what can i do now to decrease this scabbard eyebrows??
There are a couple reasons people get bad retention: skin type (oily, sensitive, etc), poor execution of the service (artist's ability) or poor aftercare. If microblading doesn't work for you bc of skin type you could always try an ombre brow.
Thank you so much for this video! It has helped me so much.. but I have a question, is it normal to have some hairs fall off?
hair falls out when its ready to so i would say yes...
So I really want to get this done, I have hardly any eyebrow hair at the tails of my brows and I'm so tired of always having to use makeup cause it's obvious that it's makeup half the time... But my skin is really oily :( I'm not sure what to do.
I would do a consultation with an artist and see what your options are. A soft ombre brow could be pretty.
I have the same problem. I don't have a thyroid due to my thyroid removal. My hormones are all over the place and my eyebrows fell off. I got Microblanding 5 days ago and looked crazy "Frida Kahlo" eyebrows. My scabs fells off starting the 4th day, I heal pretty fast. I'm actually glad I did it, I have eyebrows now and now I can't wait to see how they look after 30 days.
So helpful
Glad you think so!
Omg I was told to put Vaseline on it , yet everyone in comments are worried about the sweat, have I ruined them ? It's the 3rd day
i feel like vasaline is a little thick but i would do whatever your artist recommends.
Hi
I had mine done 9 days ago
Left side started scabbing earlier than right side but now right side too
Left side seems to scab more than right side 😀 is it a problem?
One more thing, after 14 days, can I wash my whole face as usual with gentle cleanser?
wait until all of the scabs have fallen off before washing them or getting them wet like normal. 14 days is just how long it "usually" takes... but everyone is different. which is why one side may have started scabbing sooner. Not necessarily a bad thing so don't worry 😉
I just had my brows done yesterday; she called them hybrid brows, a mix between powder brows and something else. There are no visible lines representing hair lines, just looks like she filled in the white outlined eyebrows she had previously drawn on my face. She said to avoid working out hard because sweating profusely can pull out some of the ink. Is that correct? If so, how long should I avoid working out hard? Is it okay to work out with light sweating going on?
I actually have a great video on aftercare that I recommend for my clients. Here is the link ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
Can I use makeup while my eyebrows are healing?
not in the first two weeks. well you can wear face makeup but stay away from the eyebrows.
Hi. I’ve just had my eyebrows microbladed for the first time last week and was wondering after the touch up, am I not aloud to get them wet again, just like the first time?
Yes. It will be the same healing process as the first time. 💯💯
I never had good colour after my tattooed brows. 10 years ago now. I just had orange, it was so embarrassing to go out without makeup
Ahhh.. no. What a bummer. Pigment had improved so much!! I would try getting it corrected. 👍🏻
As an artist, if I made a little oops and need to do some fine tuning before having the client wait 6-8 weeks, is it ok to have them back in my chair to do that within the first 3 days they had their first session? Or should wait until touch up? Thanks!
NO! don't do it! You will be causing injury to injury. Just don't draw an attention to your mistake and if attention has been drawn to it already just say it will be perfected at the touch up... totally normal!
Can you workout day after getting them done ?
Also how long before I can go swimming?
Don’t submerge them in water for 10-14 days. If you are in the pool that’s okay (as long as you are not getting ur face wet). Work outs depend … the goal is to not sweat a lot. So no saunas or hot yoga. Those types of things.
What if I have a lot of redness and soreness? I just got them done about 5 hours ago. I’m freaking out
this is totally normal. i promise. if that occurs longer then 2 days i would reach out to your pmu artist. good luck
I'm getting mine done next week and this is what I'm worried about. I can't even get my eyebrows waxed anymore because i swell so bad. I hope it all turned out okay for you!
THANK YOU so muuuuccch Kristi, you're an absolute angelllll!!! I came here panicking as well cause I have huge gapssss, but now I understand that it's needed to fall off..
But I ám wondering.. I've put my face under my shower really quickly like 2 times.. did that mess everything up? 😰
The lady said to me that it can get wet but not too much.. I don't even know what that means 😭🤣
Again, thank u so muchhh 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽❤❤❤❤✨✨✨
Thank you. And NO! you will be fine. 👍🏻 Don't worry!! Just avoid taking really LONG, HOT, STEAMY showers and "submerging" the eyebrows in water. If they got a little wet and it was super quick, thats fine. It's not the end of the world. I have a great video with detailed instructions (recommendations) for aftercare if youre interested. ➡️ ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
@@bossbrowsla You're amazing!! Thank you so much!! Watched the video and it's really helpful 🙏🏽🤗 Bless! ✨
Hey! What happens if i dont go to the touch up after getting my first microblading done? Quite honestly i dont like having those perfect thick black blocks in the middle of my face 😮. I wanted it do be discreet and natural( thats why i chose microblading over the shading) …well lets say its a disaster 😮 will it fade away faster and look more natural if i don’t go to the touch up after it heals? 😅 thanks!!
This is a great question. It really is case by case... if your touch up is included (which mine are) I would go to the appointment and tell the artist your concerns. This way if something can be done to adjust your eyebrows to your liking, it can be done. However, this is totally up to you so I don't want to tell you what to do... just a recommendation. Did you already get your eyebrows done? if so, what is it that you don't like about your brows?
I’m starting a permanent makeup school what are your recommendations for going to a school? Is it worth it to get a kit and detailed experience?
absolutely. I think the more info and assistance from the educator the better. 💯
@@bossbrowsla thank you! She is a great teacher. I registered over the weekend and start class In April, I literally can not wait!
What if I don’t have an eyebrow underneath until it’s fully healed will I go out browless ?
yes.. there might be an awkward stage but you will not want to put makeup on your eyebrows until all of those scabs have fallen off organically.
I don't even know if i want a touch up. It was so painful 😭 😫
Numbing cream didn't work much. I just can't do it.
im so sorry it shouldn't hurt that bad, just feels like a sun burn
Touch up was done and I got thicker but now they aren’t so thick. Why?! it’s been 10 days so far. I don’t want thin brows I want thick !
they may look thicker immediately after due to minor swelling. I would ask your artist and see if she/he can help.
@@bossbrowsla okay thank you 😊
Mine look too dark & with a ginger tone to them, I'm 7 days in & I'm wishing I'd of not had it done :(
Don't worry you are still in the first week You have another 3 weeks to go. I would wait and see how they heal afterwards and then make an opinion. Do you have a touch up scheduled with your artist? Any of your concerns can be addressed at your touch up. good luck
@Boss Brows Hi, they have really toned down now & looking much more natural. After Easter I will book in my follow up with her, I'm much happier now I really should have trusted the process more.
One thing I didn't realise was they only last 1-2 years...expensive eyebrow maintenance! Unsure if I will continue when mine eventually fade.
Ahhh I'm on day 10 and I'm just dying to do a clay mask but I don't want to risk getting it on my eyebrows or having to scrub near them too much -.-
Soon, I'll at least wait another 5 days
Girl could I get the crisp brow hairs after healing if I went for a 2nd touch up?
yes wait! and after they are completely healed then see if you need another touch up.
I just got it done today and one eyebrow looks way too thick 😭 what can I do? I’m also worried they’re too dark and just poorly done because I thought they looked too dark immediately when she showed me but the first time I got it done I didn’t feel that way.
Just wait until you are done with healing. I promise they will soften and fade and then you may like them better.
Just came in as a panicking day 5 with scabbing and patchiness. Wondering if I should wash my eyebrows 😅
I would wait until all of those scabs have fallen off organically. Here is a good video on how to take care of the brows. ➡️ua-cam.com/video/MYQgKlQvCb0/v-deo.html
I just had mine done for the first time, and yes the lines are very crisp, but im worried bc on one brow the lines go the "right way, with the hair" but the other brow the lines are more vertical.... hoping this will fade and not be so noticeable as it heals....???
it will. don't worry
I didn't have any scaps but, bleed a lot. I can't see the tattoo though. Can the skin heal it up?💕
Usually when people bleed a lot they will scab over so im surprised you didn't. But thats great. How do they look? what day of healing are you on? Its hard to say what the final result will look like until they are COMPLETELY done healing. (30 days) 💯
Can you were foundation afterwards? I want mine doing but dont want to go to work without make up on
you can wear makeup around the brows just not on the brows.
ok but my question is - is it normal that one brow looks thicker and both are not exactly the same shape? When the artist did the mapping for me the shape and thickness was fine for both and they looked symmetrical but the end result is definitely not the same. By the way i did micro shading. Now- can we readjust the thickness after healing?
I would talk with your artist. But yes if one is thicker I would just ask her to fix the one that is too thin. 👍🏻
My eyebrows scabbed on the 4th day and all came off about the 5th is that normal ?? And yea not feel like I have no tattooed brows
I feel like that is really fast. Some people heal faster and depending on your age, (younger people's skin turns over faster) that could happen. However, I would ask your artist at your touch up appointment.
I am in day 4 and there is no change except they become darker more and more and there is no scabing they didn’t fall of yet is it normal ? Even that i am in day 4?
exactly normal. they won't start scabbing until 5-7 days
My microblading last asked me to come back within 3 weeks for touch up appointment?
NO! you need to wait at lEAST 4 weeks. your skin isn't completely healed yet.
I know that you mentioned not seeing pigment where the scabs fell out is normal but I'm still worried the pigment didn't retain at all because I have slightly oily skin. I looked up a lot of videos of other girls healing processes and it seems that they've still had very light/visible pigment even with the ghosting stage. Do you think my case is normal? I've been following the aftercare I'm suppose to do which is wet healing. Do you think dry healing might've better for my case since I have oily skin?
its hard to say since Im not looking at you're work. but just discuss this with your artist. they'll help you out! 😊
I’m in that stage as well, my tail is nonexistent. Oily skin not sure if the pigment took. I’m not happy with mine at this point
Can I normally wash my face with soap and water? There is still some flaking in areas. I feel like its not attached but rather stuck in my hair
you can wash your face but try not to mess with the brows until all of those scabs have fallen off completely. if they have fallen off but are stuck in the hair, they will come off with a good face cleanse. 👍🏻
Dear BB, I am learning how to do it to myself. i want to try mixing inexpensive organic pigment and none organic, myself, not to have issues with grey or red brows.. Is that a good idea? On ebay they only sell organic pigment, so it seems. I dont want anything expencive, since Im not sure how it will go. Is it possible to find a good inexpensive Hybrid pigment ? Nothing like that on ebay... My color should be medium brown, my skin is on thick side. Please advice, thank you in advance.
I would not recommend microblading your own eyebrows,
I am going for lava light and sugar brown pigment
@@michelleamywatt5695 r those brand names?
WHAts the brand, pls?
@@bossbrowsla u seem to welcome questions and interactions, but scared to lose ur business cause of people who do it to themselves. PATHETIC.
@@SantisandKisin eye design
I have had lots of hair falling out rather than scabbing? After 3 weeks they look like my pre microbladed eyebrows?
talk to your artist at your touch up she can help you
What about if I don't like the shape, they are too round, I want them square that can be fixed? I'm desperate 😪
I would do a consult with someone and see but most likely you will need removal 😩
i got my eyebrows microbladed about 9 days ago. So is it normal for scabs fall off completely by the end of 7th day? mine literally did that and i was planning on calling on Monday.
typically you want the scabs to stay on as long as possible for best healing/retention. however, everyone is different. If you are very young your skin could just heal faster.
What about thw strokes being red?? Is it normal?
yes normal. you just caused trauma to the skin. similar to a sun burn or waxing. the skin will get red but it will go away.
I did mine 18 days ago and they look like i did nothing and i still have some dry skin in them.. is this normal will they become darker again so I can see the lines? I loved them but now i’m afraid they didnt stick 😢
+ all scabs are still not gone😮
you may need to go back for a touch up. it depends on your skin type and how good your artist is.
Do we still continue to apply the ointment while scabbing?
only for the first 5 dAYS
How do you wash your face without getting brows wet ? ?
I like to use wipes when im in the first two weeks of healing.
Mine are 2 weeks an faded
sounds about right.
Heres me panicking as I went for the yearly top up 11 days ago and have gaps missing where the scabs gone but cant see any pigment. Not even old pigment. Is this normal? Will it come back? 🙈
I would just wait and see what it looks like once it's healed. im sure it's fine. 👍🏻
How do they look now lol
I wish you were in New York. 😄
Stl isn't that far... to do your brows or for training??
I am in the 3 week and my eyebrows look light it’s that normal
yes. r u doing a touch up?
