Myth Debunking: Can Microblading Cause Hair Loss?
This is a strange question that we have been seeing more of lately. The short answer is no, microblading does not cause hair loss. Read on for a better explanation.
Microblading is a cutting-edge cosmetic technique in the beauty business right now. This is because no other cosmetic procedure can deliver such amazing results in as little time. Just two sessions are enough to radically transform your face and have the process last a long time. When executed correctly, microblading has an immediate effect on how you look, accentuating the desired characteristics of eyebrow/eye shape that we perceive as beautiful (proportions, shape, colouring, etc.).
Just like anything new that booms in popularity worldwide, misinformation and speculation of non-experts create myths. One of these myths is the wrong belief that microblading can cause hair loss.
So why do some people still think microblading can cause hair loss?
Sadly, not all “microblading artists” are licensed professionals.
In many places offering microblading now, the process is administered by amateurish, inexperienced people who do not have formal training in the art. Someone like this can end up doing lasting harm to your skin, and maybe your hair follicles too.
If a person doesn’t know what they are doing and performs microblading without formal training and experience, they can severely damage the eyebrow root and the skin area. This type of damage could be a reason why hair strands stop growing. This is our best guess to the origin of this myth.

Our recommendation!
If you are looking into microblading, you should look for a formally trained and experienced professional. Look for an artist who can deliver the results you are looking for, without the risks of a job poorly executed. Don’t go for the cheapest option because you often get what you pay for. This does not mean that the highest price equals the highest quality either. Always do your research and be sure to evaluate the artists’ customers healed results! Check their online reviews to make sure customers are happy with their work right after the appointment, as well as six months after!
