Eyebrow lamination is a two-step eyebrow treatment and involves correcting the brow shape. This treatment suits coarse or messy brows and very thin, sparsely-haired ones.

Step One: After a personalised brow consultation, the first chemical solution sets the brow hairs in place. This solution works by breaking down the bonds in the individual eyebrow hairs to relax them. In effect, the eyebrow hairs have been chemically straightened. Once broken down, they can be reshaped into the desired appearance confirmed earlier with the brow stylist.

Step Two: To shape the hairs, another cream is added that, this time, rebuilds the broken bonds and helps set them into their new, more mod look. Afterwards, you can opt for an additional brow tint that best fits the client’s hair colour and skin tone. Using wax, threading, and tweezers, a stylist can map the finished brows to achieve the bushy, flattering look the client has been yearning for, all in about 30-45 minutes!

While it always helps to have some natural brows, lamination works on thin brows too. It’s wonderful for targeting those random gaps that can sometimes appear from past overplucking or waxing.

The lamination effect is also great for people who want to save time – the brows remain perfectly groomed and in place without having to style them for their duration.

Brow lamination lasts between 4-6 weeks in most cases, but it can last anything up to 8 weeks with dedicated aftercare. Forget about having disorderly, flat hairs that grow in the wrong direction – lamination can even change the natural growth of the hairs and brow arch into a more ordered, eye-framing format. Brow length can also be extended by up to a third by the process of lamination. 

For any clients scared of trying microblading/tattooing because of the look, lamination is again a great option.

To keep brows looking fresh and to get as much longevity out of your new look:

• You must keep water, steam and products away from them for 24 hours, while the setting product does its work. It’s as simple as that.
• After the setting period, they may want to try a natural product such as caster oil applied with a small spoolie to keep the lamination hydrated.

In a nutshell – there is very little aftercare required!
