Della & Delle Safira Henna Brush: Angled Tip for Brow Henna

A good henna brush decides how clean the outline of a henna brow looks. The Della & Delle Safira Henna Brush is an angled brow brush designed for exactly this job: applying henna and finishing the brow design. It is currently listed as “Coming soon” at Brow Lash World, and you can sign up for the stock alert on the product page.

Below you will find what the brush is, why an angled tip suits brow henna, how to work with it, and when a second tool makes sense. If you are looking for the brand as a whole, start on the Della & Delle brand page. Some readers search for it as “Della Delle”, and it is the same brand.

What the Safira brush is

According to the product description, the Safira combines a modern design with a practical angled tip. It is made for applying henna and for finishing a brow design, so you can build an even, well-aligned brow. It is also designed to work with Della & Delle brow henna.

• Angled tip suited to henna application
• For henna application or for finishing
• Designed to work with Della & Delle brow henna

The description calls it a good everyday brush for professional brow artists and for experienced home users.

Why an angled tip suits brow henna

Brows are made of curves: the upper line, the arch, the tail. A flat or angled edge usually follows these lines more easily than a round tip, because the edge can sit directly on the contour while the rest of the brush fills the body of the brow. As a rule, that gives a sharper outline and less henna on the skin you do not want to tint.

Henna also tints the skin beneath the hairs, so precision matters at the borders. With the Safira, the angled tip lets you place the henna precisely along the brow line, as the manufacturer describes it.

How to load and place the henna

Preparation comes first. Always do a patch test before using henna: apply it to the forearm for 3 hours, then watch the area for 48 hours, and repeat the test before every application. Cleanse the brows and let the skin dry fully, because the manufacturer notes that colour takes faster and lasts longer on clean, dry skin.

Then mix the henna powder with mineral or filtered water only, to a “ketchup” texture, and let it rest for 15 minutes. From there, a typical routine with an angled brush looks like this:

1. Load lightly. Pick up a small amount of henna on the tip. Too much product usually runs onto the skin.
2. Start with the outline. Rest the angled edge on the lower or upper contour you mapped and draw the line with a steady hand.
3. Fill the body. Dab lightly until the whole brow is covered, as the henna instructions say, then align the shape.
4. Check symmetry. Compare both brows before the development time starts.

Development time depends on the intensity you want: 5 to 45 minutes (Black Intense: 3 to 45 minutes). Then remove the henna with cotton soaked in water. The full procedure is in our henna brows step-by-step guide, and the shades and jar sizes are covered in the Della & Delle brow henna article.

Using it for the finishing step

The Safira is also meant for finishing. After the henna is removed, you can use the brush to clean up the outline together with the Della & Delle Henna Softener. According to its description, you moisten a cotton-tipped stick or a brush with the softener and rub lightly over the area you want to soften or clean up. If you use a brush for this, keep it separate from the one you use for the henna, or rinse it carefully in between.

Caring for the brush

The manufacturer gives no care instructions for the brush, so follow any instructions that come with it. As general advice, rinse a henna brush with water soon after use, because dried henna is harder to remove, let it dry fully, and store it so the tip keeps its shape. Henna is an oxidising colour product, so do not leave residue on the brush from one client to the next.

Safira or Brush 01?

The Safira has one angled tip. If you also want a fine end for small gaps and details, the Della & Delle Brush 01 adds a second, fine end on the same handle, and the manufacturer lists it as the option “when you also need a fine end for detail work”. Many artists simply use both. We compare them in Safira vs Brush 01.
