How to Microblade the Crisp,Clean Hair Strokes

Imagine trying to cut a piece of paper with your scissors at an angle - it’s not very effective. Microblading is similar. Artists must pay close attention to the angle at which the blade enters the skin. The needles MUST enter in an upright position and NOT at an angle. Focus on that blade-to-skin angle, readjusting your sitting position and your client’s head as necessary to maintain 90 degrees to the skin for every new section. You do not need to pay attention to the angle of the handle or the angle of the blade in relation to the ground. As long as your blade is 90 degrees from each section of skin you are working, your strokes will enter properly.

If you look at the profile of a high-quality microblading hair stroke, you will see that the needle penetrates the skin at a 90-degree angle to the skin with good contact of the needles touching down on the skin, without the blade leaning to either side. If you are not penetrating the skin at a perpendicular angle, the quality of the hair stroke will be compromised and the hair strokes will be fuzzy.

Think of your microblade like an ice skate and keep it upright for perfect form - even when practicing!

3. Microblade to the sweet spot

Depth is critical for successful results because if you implant the pigment too shallow, you will only land in the epidermis and the color won’t remain once healed. However, if you go too deep, you can cause scarring and the color will heal too cool or ashy. So, how do you figure out the perfect depth?

The truth is, this can be very tricky since not only does every client have a different skin thickness, but this thickness will even vary throughout the brow itself. Generally, the skin will be much thinner at the tail of the brows than at the bulb of the brow.

In order for the pigment to stay in place and heal true-to-color, you’ll need to microblade to the upper dermis, but not further. A telltale sign that you’ve hit the upper dermis, or the “sweet spot,” is when you see a slight channel in the skin, oftentimes marked by pinpoint bleeding.

When microblading, I will make my first stroke with very light pressure to test the skin, creating a shallow channel. This will allow me to assess the thinness or thickness of the client’s skin. After wiping, I can stretch the skin to gauge the depth of this first pass, so that I can adjust accordingly. If the stroke looks too shallow, I will trace it again precisely to reach that sweet spot and to implant more pigment into the stroke. If the first pass did indeed reach the sweet spot, I will allow my blade to fall into that channel and trace it very gently to implant more pigment, being careful not to add pressure or go deeper. I make sure not to exceed 2-3 passes total per stroke.

Your depth should look like shallow paper cuts, not deep cuts.

4. Choose the right pigment colors

Hair strokes done with microblading are basically a concentrated fine line of color (think eyeliner) instead of a dispersion of color that is created with a powdered/ombre technique (think eyeshadow). This is why microblading is sometimes referred to as a “high-saturation technique”.So we recommend to use inorganic pigment(oil based) for microblading.Because it is large particle of pigment molecules. The solvent has more glycerin inside. It is easy to pick up by microblade. When you use this blade or round needle, you can do microblading or microshading. Can it be used with machine? Yes, but you have use the diluent. It will last 1-2 years.
