What is Brow Lamination: Insider details

The eyebrow trends changed continuously, at the moment fluffy full and intense eyebrows are still the brow look everyone desires. Although not everyone is blessed with naturally full eyebrows, there are plenty of tools to create fuller looking brows. You can do this with makeup such as eyebrow gel. But also, with brow lamination.

What is an eyebrow lamination?

Brow lamination is related to a lash lift treatment. The same way you would apply a solution to your lash hairs to keep them standing upright for a certain period of weeks-the same goes for the brow hairs. Brow lamination is a treatment where the brow shape can be changed into the desired position using soft chemical solutions for 8 weeks. The treatment smooths out the eyebrow hairs while also lifting the brows. The best part is that the brow lamination treatment tames unruly hairs and makes thin brows look thick and full. This makes the brows look full, symmetrical and defined.

5 Things to know to check if Brow Lamination is for you

1. Brow Lamination is for everyone

No matter your brow type—sparse, thick, or somewhere in between—Brow Lamination can work for you! It's a versatile treatment that can be customized to give you the look you want.

2. Gives you fluffy, thicker brows

It lifts and sets your brow hairs, making them look thicker and more defined. But if you're a little nervous about going too bold, don't worry!

3. It is low maintenance

While Brow Lamination helps keep your brows looking neat and tidy, it doesn't mean you can skip styling altogether. You'll still need to shape and groom them, but the process will be much easier. Think of it as a way to set the foundation, so you spend less time perfecting your brows daily.

4. Nourishes the brows 

Some people worry that Brow Lamination might cause hair loss, but actually one of the steps in the treatment nourishes your brow hairs, keeping them healthy and strong. So, there's no need to fret about losing those precious brow hairs!It’s just important to keep enough time in between appointments to not overprocess the brow hairs. Brow lamination appointments should typically be spaced about 6 to 8 weeks apart. This interval allows enough time for the eyebrow hairs to grow and for the effects of the previous lamination treatment to wear off naturally. Spacing appointments too closely can potentially damage the brow hairs and skin due to the chemicals used in the lamination process. So, yes definitely go for it, but give them a break in between to keep them healthy! 

How does this process work?

An eyebrow lamination includes several steps. To begin with, the cleaning of the eyebrow hairs. Then the brow artist will brush the eyebrows in desired shape. To keep the hairs in the right place she will use the GLUE to fix this in the desired shape. After that there will be three different solutions:

The first solution: Relaxing solution, to change the shape to the desired position. A relaxing solution causes the disulfide bond to change shape. You need to let this soak in for a few minutes. 

The second solution: The Laminate, contains light chemicals that straighten the hairs and locks them in for a semi-permanent amount of time. Also this solution needs to be soaked in for a few minutes. 

The last solution: The Nourishing Elixer, the lotion provides a significant moisturizing effect and nourishes the eyebrows, restores the structure of the hair after the lamination processed brows. And voila that's it! So simple.

Is Brow Lamination suitable for everyone? 

Unfortunately, eyebrow lamination is not suitable for everyone. 

Chemotherapy: a chemotherapy treatment causes your hair to weaken and lose its strength. The hair growth may be temporarily decreased, therefore a contraindication for brow lamination. 

Alopecia: is an autoimmune disease that causes your body to lose hair. Because of this your eyebrow hairs are too weak and there is a big chance that after a brow lamination there will be no hair left. 

Scared skin: If you have scrapes, burns or swollen skin it is not recommended to do brow lamination. It can irritate your skin even more and provoke an allergic reaction.

Allergic to glue: Are you allergic to glue? Then it is not wise to perform a brow lamination.  An allergic reaction can lead to hair loss.

As any beauty treatment, proper aftercare is essential to maintain the stunning results with Brow Lamination. From avoiding makeup for 24 hours to using nourishing aftercare balm daily, taking care of laminated brows is key to keeping them looking their best.

Myth: Eyebrows should be twins

We always say it: eyebrows are more like sisters! Sisters can look alike but are never exactly the same as twins. Both my eyebrows have different shapes is something we hear all the time, and it’s completely normal! So don’t stress it. They can’t be identical or perfectly symmetrical! Some people have one brow that’s much more scarred and simply can’t look identical to the other. Others are a bit fuller than the other or are placed a bit higher than the other.
