The Differences Between Hair Stroke and Microblading Eyebrow Tattoo
Eyebrow tattooing has become increasingly popular as it offers a way to have beautifully shaped eyebrows permanently, eliminating the need for daily makeup. There are several techniques commonly used, including 3D eyebrow tattooing, 6D eyebrow tattooing (microblading), and Hair Stroke Eyebrow Tattooing. Each technique has its own unique features and differences, catering to individual preferences. This article will help you understand the differences between these methods and help you choose the most suitable one for you.

For those unfamiliar with hair stroke eyebrow tattooing, it is one of the latest and most natural-looking techniques. While the 3D technique already offers normal look compared to older methods, hair stroke tattooing takes it a step further. This technique uses ultra-fine needles (nano pigmentation) to create individual hair strokes that are soft and realistic. Unlike other techniques that may leave open wounds and require special post-care, hair stroke tattooing is a closed-wound method. It allows immediate contact with water, requires less healing time, and causes minimal discomfort during the procedure. Hair stroke eyebrow tattooing can be customized to fit individual face shapes, with different needle sizes chosen for different sections of the brows, resulting in a more natural look.

3D Eyebrow Tattooing (Microblading)
3D eyebrow tattooing is one of the earliest and most widely used methods. It gives natural results by drawing individual hair strokes, unlike traditional permanent makeup, which colors the entire eyebrow. The 3D technique mimics real hair, making the brows look soft and natural, rather than stiff and filled in. This method uses a small blade to draw each hair stroke individually, making the eyebrows look fuller, especially for those with thin or uneven eyebrows. However, this technique may not be ideal for those seeking thick or highly defined eyebrows, as it focuses primarily on natural-looking results.

6D Eyebrow Tattooing (Microblading) 6D eyebrow tattooing, also known as microblading, is an evolution of the 3D technique. It involves more detailed and precise strokes. This method uses a tool with tiny needles aligned in a row to deposit pigment into the upper layer of the skin, creating finer, more realistic strokes. Despite being called “6D,” this term is more of a marketing strategy to suggest greater precision and naturalness, as human eyes cannot perceive more than three dimensions. The 6D technique is suitable for those who want highly defined and dimensional eyebrows.

Natural Hair Stroke Eyebrow Tattoo  The Natural Hair Stroke technique, specifically offered by AKIRA STUDIO, uses ultra-fine needles to create realistic eyebrow strokes. The shading is done with gradual pressure from darker to lighter tones to mimic real eyebrow hair. This method is delicate and requires high precision, making it appear as if a tiny brush is painting the brows, creating realistic color gradients. This type of eyebrow tattoo lasts about two years, and if unsatisfied, it can be removed with laser treatment in 2-3 sessions. It is ideal for those with thin or sparse eyebrows or those with oily or combination skin, where pigments may not last as long as on normal skin. Post-Care for Hair Stroke Eyebrow Tattooing Post-care is crucial for achieving the best results. On the first day after the procedure, you can wash your face normally but should avoid using soap or facial cleansers on the brows. A cotton bud should be used to gently clean the area twice a day until the scabs fall off. Additionally, it is recommended to avoid alcohol, heavy exercise, and eyebrow makeup in the initial healing period to prevent infection or uneven pigment retention.

Key Differences of Each Technique:

1. 3D Eyebrow Tattooing (Microblading): Ideal for those who want a natural look with individually drawn hair strokes. The strokes are not as fine or sharp as other techniques.
2. 6D Eyebrow Tattooing (Microblading): Suitable for those who want more detailed, defined, and dimensional eyebrows. The term “6D” is used for marketing purposes, but the technique focuses on creating a more intricate look than 3D tattooing.
3. Hair Stroke Eyebrow Tattooing: The most advanced technique that provides the most natural results. It uses nano-pigmentation to create fine, realistic hair strokes and requires minimal post-procedure care.
