Reaching crisp, clear hair strokes is each PMU artist’s dream. Nonetheless, the truth of our healed outcomes typically falls wanting our expectations when the shopper walks by means of the door. The important thing to acquiring these crisp, healed hair strokes lies in minimizing pores and skin disruption. By skillfully implanting pigment with precision, you’ll be able to reduce trauma, and eventually obtain clear and neat therapeutic.
Listed here are some important ideas to make sure your microbladed strokes heal with optimum readability:
1. Stretch and flatten the pores and skin with a 3-point stretch

Think about attempting to attract a straight line on a wrinkled, unfastened floor in comparison with one that’s clean and tight. It makes a world of distinction! stretch forces the pores and skin to be clean and flat so you may make a clear stroke as you microblade. Making an attempt to work on pores and skin that’s lax will end in patchy and wobbly strains.
Make certain to make the most of a taut 3-point stretch.
- Flatten the pores and skin in 3 opposing instructions without delay in a triangle formation.
- Use each your stretching hand (your non-dominant hand with out the microblade) and your working hand (your dominant hand which holds the microblade.
- Your stretching hand ought to be positioned alongside the shopper’s brow.
- Pin the pores and skin down and unfold it aside in small, taut sections.
- The pinky of your working hand should stretch in an opposing course to finish the stretch.
Keep in mind, when the pores and skin is flat and void of wrinkles, your microblade can glide by means of the pores and skin easily for clear strokes.
2. Keep a 90-degree angle

Think about attempting to chop a chunk of paper along with your scissors at an angle – it’s not very efficient. Microblading is comparable. Artists should pay shut consideration to the angle at which the blade enters the pores and skin. The needles MUST enter in an upright place and NOT at an angle. Deal with that blade-to-skin angle, readjusting your sitting place and your shopper’s head as needed to keep up 90 levels to the pores and skin for each new part. You do not want to concentrate to the angle of the deal with or the angle of the blade in relation to the bottom. So long as your blade is 90 levels from every part of pores and skin you might be working, your strokes will enter correctly.
If you happen to take a look at the profile of a high-quality microblading hair stroke, you will notice that the needle penetrates the pores and skin at a 90-degree angle to the pores and skin with good contact of the needles touching down on the pores and skin, with out the blade leaning to both aspect. In case you are not penetrating the pores and skin at a perpendicular angle, the standard of the hair stroke will likely be compromised and the hair strokes will likely be fuzzy.
Consider your microblade like an ice skate and maintain it upright for excellent kind – even when practising!

3. Microblade to the candy spot
Depth is important for profitable outcomes as a result of when you implant the pigment too shallow, you’ll solely land within the dermis and the colour gained’t stay as soon as healed. Nonetheless, when you go too deep, you’ll be able to trigger scarring and the colour will heal too cool or ashy. So, how do you determine the proper depth?
The reality is, this may be very tough since not solely does each shopper have a distinct pores and skin thickness, however this thickness will even range all through the forehead itself. Usually, the pores and skin will likely be a lot thinner on the tail of the brows than on the bulb of the forehead.
To ensure that the pigment to remain in place and heal true-to-color, you’ll must microblade to the higher dermis, however not additional. A telltale signal that you simply’ve hit the higher dermis, or the “candy spot,” is if you see a slight channel within the pores and skin, oftentimes marked by pinpoint bleeding.
When microblading, I’ll make my first stroke with very gentle strain to check the pores and skin, making a shallow channel. This may permit me to evaluate the thinness or thickness of the shopper’s pores and skin. After wiping, I can stretch the pores and skin to gauge the depth of this primary go, in order that I can modify accordingly. If the stroke seems too shallow, I’ll hint it once more exactly to achieve that candy spot and to implant extra pigment into the stroke. If the primary go did certainly attain the candy spot, I’ll permit my blade to fall into that channel and hint it very gently to implant extra pigment, being cautious to not add strain or go deeper. I make sure that to not exceed 2-3 passes whole per stroke.
Your depth ought to appear like shallow paper cuts, not deep cuts.

4. Select the best pigment colours
Hair strokes completed with microblading are mainly a concentrated high quality line of shade (suppose eyeliner) as an alternative of a dispersion of shade that’s created with a powdered/ombre approach (suppose eyeshadow). Because of this microblading is typically known as a “high-saturation approach”.
When a shade is dense and concentrated, it tends to seem cooler and fewer clear, so that you’ll wish to all the time select hotter colours when microblading to forestall your healed outcomes from ashing out or trying bluish-grey. Since all colours will naturally quiet down therapeutic, you’ll be able to count on hotter colours to heal to a impartial shade end result, whereas impartial to chill colours will heal even cooler.
