In the world of beauty trends, achieving perfectly groomed and fuller brows has become a top priority for many. Enter brow lamination, the latest brow treatment taking the beauty industry by storm. If you’ve been searching for a way to get those Instagram-worthy brows without the daily hassle, brow lamination might be the solution you’ve been looking for. This blog will explain everything you need to know about brow lamination, from the process and benefits to aftercare tips and frequently asked questions.
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a non-invasive beauty treatment designed to straighten and lift your eyebrow hairs, giving them a fuller, more defined appearance. Often referred to as a “brow perm,” this procedure involves setting the brow hairs in place using a special solution, similar to how a lash lift works for eyelashes.
The Brow Lamination Process
Step 1: Consultation
Your brow technician will start with a consultation to discuss your desired look and any specific concerns you may have. This ensures the treatment is tailored to your preferences.
Step 2: Cleansing
The brows are thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oils, or dirt. This step is crucial for ensuring the solution adheres properly to the brow hairs.
Step 3: Applying the Lifting Solution
A lifting solution is applied to the brows to break down the bonds in the hair, making them more flexible and easier to shape. The technician will then brush the brow hairs into the desired position.
Step 4: Setting the Brows
A neutralizing solution is applied to re-harden the brow hairs and lock them in place. This step ensures that the brows maintain their new shape for an extended period.
Step 5: Nourishing
A nourishing serum or oil is applied to hydrate and condition the brows, promoting healthy hair growth and shine.
Step 6 (Optional): Plump & Glaze for a Luxury Brow Lamination
To strengthen and lengthen your eyebrow hairs, and extend the life of the lamination to 8-12 weeks, some salons offer additional steps. The Glow Up Studio “Luxury Brow Lamination” for example includes our “Plump & Glaze Systems” for instance. The "Plump System" is designed to increase brow hair density by 24% on the first use and show a significant increase in density by up to 30% after 3 laminations. The "Glaze System" deeply nourishes the brow hair with a keratin treatment.
Step 7 (Optional): 24K Gold Booster for the Ultimate Brow Lamination
An additional step some salons complete can can include a deeper nourishing of the brow hair with a 24K Gold Treatment. The Glow Up Studio “Ultimate Brow Lamination” for example includes a “24K Gold Keratin Booster” to further hydrate and strengthen brow hairs with antioxidant rich 24K gold to extend the lamination with an extra keratin boost.
Benefits of Brow Lamination
Fuller Appearance
Brow lamination gives the illusion of thicker, more voluminous brows by lifting and straightening each hair. This can be especially beneficial for those with sparse or thin brows.
Defined Shape
The treatment allows you to achieve a sleek, groomed look with perfectly aligned brows. It helps in creating a symmetrical and balanced appearance.
Long-Lasting Results
With proper care, the results of brow lamination can last up to 6-8 weeks. This makes it a low-maintenance option for those looking to keep their brows in check.
Non-Invasive
Unlike microblading or other semi-permanent brow treatments, brow lamination is non-invasive and doesn’t involve any needles or pigment.
Aftercare Tips
To ensure the longevity of your brow lamination results, follow these aftercare tips:
Avoid Water and Steam - For the first 24-48 hours after the treatment, avoid getting your brows wet and stay away from steam and excessive sweating.
No Touching - Refrain from touching or rubbing your brows to allow the solution to set fully.
Use a Gentle Cleanser - Use a mild, oil-free cleanser to clean your face and avoid any harsh products around the brow area.
Brush Daily - Gently brush your brows daily to keep them in place and maintain the desired shape.
Hydrate - Apply a nourishing serum or oil to your brows regularly to keep them hydrated and healthy.
