Why SMP Artists Should Avoid Using Brown SMP Ink

Choosing the right ink is a crucial factor that determines the quality of SMP procedures and client satisfaction.
Some artists may use Brown SMP ink to match the client’s hair color or preferences.
While brown ink might seem to offer a natural tone, it is unsuitable for SMP treatments due to several significant reasons.

Brown SMP Ink   VS   Black SMP Ink

Brown ink is prone to discoloration over time due to its ingredients.
- Brown Pigment Base : Typically made from iron oxide, which is less stable, less durable, prone to reddish discoloration.
- Black Pigment Base : Made from carbon black, which is chemically stable, vivid, and durable.

Carbon black provides clear and long-lasting pigmentation, making it ideal for SMP procedures.
In contrast, Iron Oxide, the base of brown ink, offers color variety but lacks stability and durability, often leading to reddish discoloration over time.

Key Reasons to Avoid Brown Ink in SMP

1. High Risk of Discoloration
Brown ink is highly prone to turning red or orange within weeks or months after the treatments due to the inherent characteristics of iron oxide.
This discoloration can lead to client dissatisfaction and is unsuitable for SMP, where maintaining a natural appearance is critical.  

2. Lack of Durability
Brown pigments(Iron Oxide) are less durable compared to black pigments(Carbon Black).
They are more susceptible to fading and environmental factors like UV exposure, temperature, and humidity.  

3. Unnatural Results Over Time
SMP aims to replicate the natural appearance of hair follicles.
While brown ink might match the hair color initially, its tendency to discolor and fade over time results in an unnatural and patchy appearance, disappointing clients.

Conclusion

Brown SMP ink should be avoided due to the risks of discoloration, lack of durability, and the inability to deliver lasting, natural results.
Using carbon black-based black ink ensures vivid, stable, and natural outcomes that meet client expectations.  

SMP must maintain natural results even after a long time, so as an SMP artist, selecting the right ink is essential for achieving the best results, building client trust, and enhancing overall satisfaction.
