If you're not already familiar with brow lamination, you're probably wondering what it is and how it works. Brow lamination is a new trend in eyebrow care that has taken the beauty world by storm. Essentially, brow lamination is a treatment that helps to tame unruly brows and make them appear fuller and more polished.

In this guide, we'll cover everything you need to know about brow lamination: from what it is and how long it lasts to the benefits and upkeep. By the end, you'll know whether or not brow lamination is right for you. 

What Is Brow Lamination and How Does It Work?

Brow lamination is a treatment that helps give you the perfect eyebrow shape. The treatment involves straightening the eyebrow hairs using a solution and then setting them in place with a gel. The result is a full, fluffy, and well-defined brow.

Brow lamination works by temporarily altering the structure of the hair. First, a solution is applied to the brows which breaks down the disulfide bonds that give your hair its shape. Next, a neutralizing solution is applied which reforms those bonds in a new shape. Finally, a setting gel is applied which helps hold the new shape in place. 

What Are the Benefits of Brow Lamination Over Other Methods Like Threading or Waxing?

There are many benefits of brow lamination over other methods like threading or waxing: 

1. It's less painful than other methods. Because only the hair shaft is being treated, there is no pulling or tugging on delicate skin. 
2. It's less damaging to your hair. Unlike waxing or plucking, brow lamination does not involve any chemical or physical removal of your eyebrow hairs. As a result, it's much less damaging to your eyebrows and can actually help them grow back fuller and thicker over time. 
3. It's more precise than other methods. When you thread or wax your eyebrows, there's always a risk of accidentally taking off too much hair. Brow lamination provides you with more control over the shape of your eyebrows because you can choose exactly how much hair you want to straighten. 
4. It lasts longer than other methods. The results of brow lamination can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before they start to fade gradually. This means you won't have to worry about touch-ups as often as you would with other methods like waxing or threading. 

How Long Does the Effect Last and What Is the Upkeep Like? 

As we mentioned before, the effects of brow lamination can last up to 8 weeks, although you may need a touch-up after 4 weeks if your hair growth is particularly rapid. The upkeep is low as all you need to do is brush your brows upwards into place every morning with a spoolie brush – no expensive products required! Just make sure you don’t get them wet or use any oils or serums around the area for at least 24 hours after your treatment. 

Who Is a Suitable Candidate? 

While brow lamination is generally safe for most people, there are a few exceptions. If you have any cuts or scrapes on your forehead, you should avoid getting brow lamination until they have healed completely. In addition, if you have sensitive skin or are allergic to hair chemicals, you may want to steer clear of this treatment as well. 

It’s always best to consult with a professional beforehand who can perform a patch test if you’re unsure. Those with very straight brows will see the best results from brow lamination as the treatment gives extra hold to help keep hairs in place. If you have naturally curly or wavy brows, it’s best to steer clear as you may end up with crispier-looking brows than you’d like!
