β³ So, How Long Do I Wait Before Getting My Brows Wet?
Letβs cut straight to the chase (pun intended). After getting microbladed eyebrows, most professionals recommend avoiding direct contact with water for 5-7 days. Why so long? Well, think of your new brows like freshly painted artβit needs time to dry and set properly without smudging. π

π¦ Tips for Staying Clean Without Ruining Your New Look
Donβt worry; weβve got some clever tricks to keep both you and your brows happy:
β’ Wash around the area: Use a clean cloth or cotton pad to gently cleanse the skin near your brows but avoid touching them directly.
β’ Shower smartly: Tilt your head back when rinsing hair to prevent water splashing onto your forehead. Bonus points if you use a shower cap! π
β’ Moisturize carefully: Ask your technician about approved ointments or balms to keep the area hydrated during recovery.
Pro tip: If you accidentally get your brows wet, donβt panic! Just pat them dry with a soft tissue instead of rubbing. β¨
