Helyx Hybrid Dye enters the chat – please make way!

Lashes and brows are in Elleebana’s DNA. Have been for 3 decades this year, so it’s a very natural inclusion for us to add to our existing offerings a Hybrid Dye system.  Helyx Hybrid Dye is officially here.  The word "Helix" refers to a twisted coil of proteins found in all living beings. Our DNA, structured as a double-helix, dictates the proteins our body produces for life. Since hair is made up of proteins, at Elleebana, we believe that the products we apply should also support hair health—because caring for lash and brow hair is in our DNA.

Why Lash and Brow Artists will Love HELYX HYBRID DYE ️

A hybrid colour dye system that offers colour penetration into the hairs cortex giving long lasting colour results on the hair in the same way a permanent tint would, but with the added benefit of skin staining effect. Skin stain provides a visual shade or tone of colour on the skin in areas where hair might be minimal or shape is lacking. Allowing clients to that salon finished look for a longer time frame. Microblading, tattooing and permanent pigments fade or diminish over time and a large client base are looking for a groomed and shaped brow with depth of colour to provide precision and definition to their shape.

More than just a dye
Helyx hybrid dye offers a brilliant alternative to tinting and since lash and brow hair health has always been our North Star - we’ve included in our Helyx Hybrid dyes, KeraVeg 18, a plant-based keratin alternative that nourishes, hydrates, and strengthens brow hair by up to 21% during a Helyx Hybrid dye treatment. This unique formula of serene, threonine and arginine are ideal for strengthening brow hairs and restoration post chemical services.

In addition to KeraVeg 18, our formulas are enriched with botanical ingredients that deliver antioxidant protection, promote healthy hair growth, repair and strengthen strands, and provide essential hydration and moisture—all while enhancing the beauty of your brows.

Plant extracts 

• Indian Gooseberry Alma extract (Phyllanthus emblica aqueous extract) - rich in tannins and polyphenols Indian Gooseberry promotions hair growth and improves skin elasticity and hydration while providing anti-inflammatory properties to calm the area.
• Saffron Flower aqueous extract (Crocus sativus flower aqueous extract) – is a natural colourant and an antioxidant

• Aloe Barbadensis extract (Aloe barbadensis leaf aqueous extract) – added to the formular to provide skin soothing and hydration while reducing inflammation or irritation.

• Matricaria Chamomilla or German Chamomile (Chamomilla recutita aqueous extract) - the flowers from this plant contain compounds like apigenin, quercetin, patuletin, luteolin, and glucosides, which contribute to soothing and antioxidant properties
• Rosa Damscena Flower water (Rosa damascena flower aqueous extract) – provides a pleasant floral smell, hydrating properties and moisturisation to the skin.

Vegan and No animal testing, of course Helyx Hybrid can be mixed and combined with a developer of either cream consistency or a liquid developer if using airbrushing techniques as we have produced these two options with salons desires in mind.

The absence of waxy emulsifiers in the liquid developer does see the colour penetration into the upper layers of the epidermis to be slightly more significant than the cream developer giving a deeper colour pay off. The cream developer works with the dye in a way to make the product easier to manipulate than with the liquid developer, especially for beginners. So, both developers were necessary for us to offer.

Number of applications:

Each bottle of Helyx Hybrid Dye is 15ml and we played a fun game of “how many applications are achievable” having squeezed out over 100 applications from a bottle making Helyx Hybrid a very economical solution for salons.  Factors to consider here are:

• The number of layers you wish to apply – if you are using a layering technique for application you may use more product
• Airbrush techniques require more product than traditional methods so this would need to also be considered in costing the service for salons
• Combing colours or colour customisation can see additional use of product
