What is Brow Lamination?

Is your Instagram feed full of gorgeous-looking men or women with full, well-defined brows that don't seem to have a hair out of place? Welcome to the world of brow lamination! This chemical process, which has taken the beauty industry by storm, is essentially a "perm" for your eyebrows, restructuring the hairs to create volume and fullness while also giving your brows a sleek, well-kept shape. 

If you want to know more about brow lamination, this guide will walk you through the answers to your most burning questions. First off…

What is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a popular beauty trend that's essentially a "perm" for your eyebrows. It's a chemical process that restructures brow hairs to add volume and fullness while giving them a sleek, uniform shape. This treatment produces sleek, well-defined brows that maintain their shape with minimal effort. 

In general, brow lamination can transform thin eyebrows into fuller, more organized, and fluffier ones without additional hair. It's a semi-permanent solution that requires daily upkeep, such as applying a conditioning product and brushing the brows into place. The procedure is generally pain-free and performed by licensed estheticians or cosmetologists trained in using specific brow lamination products. Before an appointment, it's advisable to avoid tweezing or waxing for two weeks, skip retinoids and exfoliants around the brows for a week, and clean the brows to remove any makeup or oils. This preparation helps ensure the best results from the brow lamination treatment.

How Long Does a Brow Lamination Treatment Take?

Like with lash lifts, each salon or brow artist might have a different technique for laminating brows, meaning the treatment duration will vary. On average, a brow appointment will last about 30 minutes.

Of course, how often a brow lamination can be done depends, at least partly, on how diligent you are in your aftercare routine. Discuss post-treatment care with your aesthetician, including when to return for a touch-up. Most brow experts recommend you book your next appointment for between one month and eight weeks.

How Do You Care for Your Brows Post Brow Lamination Treatment?

Proper care of your brows is essential to maximizing the longevity of the treatment. Listen to your technician and follow their instructions to keep your brows healthy and maximize the treatment's effects. 

Keep your brows dry 24 to 48 hours post-treatment; otherwise, your lamination will not last. Also, you should avoid sleeping on your front or touching your brow hairs too much. Do not apply eyebrow makeup or any other products around the brow area for the first 24 hours, and stay away from oil-based cosmetics in general if you want to prolong the treatment. 

Every morning, brush your hair back into the proper place and use a conditioning treatment to keep it healthy and hydrated. Committing to this routine, you'll get the most out of your brow lamination and enjoy your new look for as long as possible between appointments.  

Does Brow Lamination Hurt?

When a brow artist performs a brow lamination correctly, it's a comfortable, pain-free procedure. If you feel pain, ask the technician to stop the treatment immediately. To keep everyone safe during your appointment, follow these tips:

  • Make sure your technician has the proper certification or licensing.
  • Make sure your technician and everyone at the salon wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and contribute to maintaining a hygienic environment.
  • If the technician doesn't offer a patch test, ask them to perform one to ensure your skin will tolerate the solutions they'll be using.
  • Be upfront with your technician about any known skin allergies, sensitivities, or conditions that may be relevant.

How Much Does A Brow Lamination Cost?

The cost for a brow lamination will vary depending on your technician's experience, your chosen salon, and your location. That said, prices range from $75 to $200 per appointment. These fees include the primary treatment and supplies. However, you may add services like brow shaping or brow and lash tinting. Work with your aesthetician to customize a service package to help you achieve the brow lamination results you want and the ideal overall look you're going for.

Is a Brow Lamination Worth It?

The time, cost, and effort of laminating your brows are up to you. Suppose you have thin, asymmetrical eyebrows and are in the mood for a semi-permanent solution that will make them fuller, more defined, more organized, and fluffier without adding additional hair. In that case, a brow lamination is a great option. You should spend a few minutes each day applying a conditioning product and brushing your brows up or down into place. In that case, you'll likely be happy with your results.

Who Can Perform a Brow Lamination Treatment?

Many brow lamination DIY kits are available these days, marketed to people who want to keep up with the latest beauty trends. However, for the best, longest-lasting results, only licensed aestheticians, cosmetologists, or others specifically trained to use brow lamination products safely should perform these treatments. As always, it's better to be safe than sorry. Do your research and strive for quality over a quick fix when booking a brow lamination treatment.

How Do You Prepare for a Brow Lamination Appointment?

To see the best results following your brow lamination, it's wise to prepare appropriately. 

  • Avoid tweezing or waxing for at least two weeks. This allows the technician to work with the entire length of your brow hairs.
  • Skip retinoids and exfoliants around the brow area for a week. These products can make the skin more sensitive.
  • Clean your brows before your appointment. Remove any makeup or oils from the brow area so your technician will have a clean slate to begin their work.

By taking these steps, you'll contribute to a smoother and more successful brow lamination, ensuring a comfortable experience for everyone involved.
