The Hair Strokes technique is a form of semi-permanent makeup that uses a manual hand tool or a precision digital machine to implant pigment into the upper layers of the skin. Unlike traditional tattooing, which uses a machine, microblading typically involves a handheld tool with several tiny needles. These needles delicately scratch the surface of the skin, creating thin, natural-looking lines that resemble the pattern and direction of natural eyebrow hairs.
