Hair strokes/microblading are techniques used to simulate hair and add a dimensional quality to the brows. On its own, simulated strokes look best when there is a fair amount of natural hair present to hide and blend the hair strokes which are tattooed lines. Hair strokes are created either with microblading type needles (manually done by dragging needles to create a superficial cut) or by machine using nano needles (very fine needles) for micro fine hair strokes without a cut. Your overall goal and skin type are taken into consideration for optimal results. Hair strokes look the most hair like the day they are done. They will blur as they fade away and gradually get lighter and widen.
