Brow lamination is a process that tames unruly brows, giving them a sleek, well-groomed appearance. Similar to a perm for your lashes, it involves applying a series of solutions to your brow hairs to make them straight and stay in a desired direction. So, how to do a brow lamination? The steps are simple: clean the eyebrows, apply Easy Lift primer, lifting/curling lotion, fixing lotion, optional tinting, and then finish it off with Shine Repair. Post-care may also include waxing/threading/plucking.
Benefits Of Brow Lamination
Natural Look
One of the main benefits of brow lamination is that it provides a more natural look compared to other procedures such as microblading. It simply enhances your existing brows without the need for any extra fill-ins or drawn-on shapes.
Less Invasive
Brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment. This means that it doesn’t involve any kind of incisions or injections, which can sometimes lead to complications or infections.
Less Commitment
Brow lamination is semi-permanent, meaning it lasts for a few weeks and then fades gradually. This gives you the freedom to change up your look without any long-term commitment.
Who Is Not A Good Candidate For Brow Lamination
While brow lamination is a relatively safe procedure, there are certain situations in which it’s not recommended.
Skin conditions
People with skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis, particularly around the brow area, should avoid brow lamination. The chemicals used may aggravate these conditions, causing further discomfort.
Eye conditions
Those with sensitive eyes, eye conditions or allergies should avoid this treatment as the chemicals used might irritate the eyes.
Sunburnt skin
Brow lamination should not be performed on sunburnt skin as the chemicals can exacerbate the burn and cause pain.
Other conditions
If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, it’s recommended to wait until you’ve finished breastfeeding before undergoing the procedure.
How To Prepare For Brow Lamination
When wondering how to prep for brow lamination, it’s important to remember that the brow area should be clean and free of any makeup. Also, avoid using any retinol products or getting a brow wax at least 48 hours before your appointment.
How Long Does Brow Lamination Last
The results of brow lamination usually last between 4–6 weeks. The exact time frame can vary based on your hair type, growth cycle, and how well you take care of your brows post-treatment. Keep in mind that the procedure for brow lamination and tint takes about one to two hours.
During the healing period, avoid wetting your brows for at least 24 hours. That means you should plan on how long after brow lamination you can wash your face — the answer is typically the next day.
Does Eyebrow Lamination Hurt
Most clients report little to no pain during the brow lamination process. It is generally considered a comfortable treatment, similar to getting a brow wax or threading.
If you ever need to know how to remove brow lamination at home, keep in mind that it’s not recommended. Trying to take off brow lamination without professional help can lead to hair damage or uneven results.
