Looking For A Fuller And Bolder Brow Look? Book now!
Brow lamination is is one of the hottest trends in beauty, and the treatment is often credited for the fluffy, defined brows popular with the celebrity and supermodel crowd. That said, the gravity-defying technique can also be mystifying for newcomers—and we’re all still new to it, since brow lamination only landed in the United States a few years ago
But how does brow lamination work?
And, more importantly, are you stuck with fluffy brows once you’ve been laminated?
You know what laminated brows look like: tall, straight hairs that appear as if they were just brushed up with a clean brow brush and set with gel, yet keep their shape for days on end. But how do you get them to stay that way? It is done using a gentle perm solution, neutralizing lotion, and moisturizing treatment to temporarily relax and redirect your brow hairs upwards and into place. Because the hairs are relaxed, they appear longer, giving the effect of a larger brow shape.The hairs also become more pliable after lamination, making this a great service if you are looking for a ‘fluffy’ brow without the need for a brow gel, or if your natural brow hairs are curly, unruly, or point downwards.Traditional brow services, such as waxing and tinting can be incorporated into the service afterwards, creating beautiful perfectly shaped brows for the occasion.
How long does Brow lamination last?
The only draw back to lamination is the fact that it lasts for about 6 weeks on average, however you can stretch that number is you are smart with your beauty routine. This means no steam, make up, skin care products or water on your brows for a full 24 hours after the treatment. This allows the hairs to set further into their new brushed place. Luckily if you don’t love how your brows look post lamination, you are not stuck with fluffed up brows forever.
Which brow types benefit most from Brow Lamination?
All hair types and face shapes can benefit from the fluffy brow trend via lamination, though you do need to have natural brow hair. Curly, unruly hair fairs exceptionally well and brow hairs that tend to grow down can get a nice lift from lamination It’s amazing for thin hair, because it strengthens and thickens the hair. It’s great for thick hair because it tames and smoothes. For curly hair, it really irons out the texture and straightens
However if you are sparse in the area of brow hair you might want to consider another service- permanent make up or micro-blading in the brow area that will help fill in the brows.
Consistency
The more you laminate, the easier it becomes. Those with more coarse or curly hair may not achieve the same results as those with straight, fine hair—and the results tend to fade a bit more quickly. However, as you continue to regularly have this treatment done, the better your hair will relax and laminate. Which means fluffy, lifted, and defined brows are in your future.
Who shouldn’t try eyebrow lamination?
Why should I tint as well?
Most people will greatly benefit from a brow tint. It helps the brow appear dramatically more full, filled in and well-shaped. Exceptions would be someone who does not like the look of their brows darker or filled in and in this case, the tint can easily be skipped.
