Revitalize Your Look: Discover the Magic of Brow Lamination at Unleashed By Lauren

They say that the eyebrows frame the face, and luckily for us, we no longer have to rely on our blunt tweezers and terrible eyesight to turn our hairs into face-framing works of art. There are now many innovative treatments offering to trim, tidy, and transform our eyebrows. One newer — and increasingly popular — treatment is called Brow Lamination.

What Is Brow Lamination?

Brow Lamination is a relatively new procedure that focuses on creating shiny, smooth brows. Also sometimes called an “eyebrow perm,” the high-shine effects tend to be sought after by those who may be experiencing thinning or unruly brows. Unlike Permanent Makeup, needles and coloring are not involved.

As a semi-permanent procedure, Brow Lamination may also be a good fit if you want to keep your brows styled a certain way but are tired of using eyebrow gel every day. You will need to repeat the process at some point in the future to maintain your results, and there are risks involved. Read on to learn everything else you need to know about this trend.

What Is The Brow Lamination Process Like?

So, you're in the all-clear and ready to get your brows laminated. What should you expect?

Step 1:

First things first, you'll be shown to a seat where you'll get comfortable and your brow tech will begin cleansing the area to make sure it's free from any makeup, oils or bacteria. Next, they will apply a relax cream, which causes a reaction to the disulphide bonds in your brows, which holds together the protein (keratin) chains in our hairs. This softens the hairs making them pliable to form your desired shape. Your tech may apply some plastic wrap over the hairs to speed up this process.

Step 2:

This is left to process for five minutes or so (this depends on the thickness of your hairs) and then is removed and a setting cream is applied. This cream is called a "neutralizer," "reform" or "setting" cream and essentially "sets the hair into its new shape reforming the hair and its keratin chains," Lauren explains. This cream is left for a further few minutes and your tech will use a spoolie to brush the hair into position.

Step 3:

After the brows are set in place, some techs like to tweeze away any stray hairs. Lauren enjoys emphasizing the shape by waxing off the baby hairs - leaving you a crisp and full shape.

Step 4:

Once all of that is complete, a hydrating essence and keratin conditioner treatment is used.

Frequently Asked Questions

The main benefit of Brow Lamination is, of course, the look of them. When done correctly the brow will lay in a more aesthetically pleasing shape, with the brows looking fuller and more lifted. In addition to smoothing the hairs out, you can also re-shape the brows a little during lamination; for example raising the arch or lowering the tail to get your desired shape.
Unlike other brow treatments including microblading, this treatment is non-invasive and isn't permanent, making it a great option for a lot of people who don’t want to make the commitment to other brow services.
Not only do they look great after lamination, but they're also easier to manage. The hairs, if unruly before, will be more easily managed in their smooth shape. The hair lay in a vertical direction appearing as though they’ve been expertly brushed up and set in place.
One of the main selling points of Brow Lamination is that it lasts up to eight weeks, meaning no frantic brow brushing and gel setting every morning; allowing for a lower maintenance daily routine.
Before diving into what you should expect from your appointment, it's important that you go into it prepared. Avoid retinol, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), and other exfoliant skin-care products at least 48 hours before your appointment as this can cause a reaction with the chemical lamination solution, resulting in an unwanted skin reaction. Brow techs also recommend to avoid tweezing, threading, or waxing your brows prior to your appointment.
If you are known to have ultra-sensitive skin, or have previously reacted to hair dye, it's a good idea to get a patch test prior to your appointment. Unlike a lot of beauty services, Brow Lamination doesn’t always require a patch test so an allergy won’t be known until the solution has been applied to your eyebrows.
Let your brow tech know if you have any skin conditions (including psoriasis and eczema), if you’ve been sensitive to certain chemicals in the past, if you have any eye conditions, or currently have sunburn. Your tech will let you know if you're able to still have the treatment all things considered, which is entirely in your best interest and safety.
While Brow Lamination is not invasive compared to brow surgery, tattooing, or other related procedures, there are still some side effects to know before booking your appointment. Such risks are mostly related to skin irritation caused by the chemicals. These include:
-swelling
-redness
-peeling
-itching
-bumps
The side effects may occur directly beneath and above the eyebrows, but they may also extend to your eyelids.
This procedure may not be recommended if you have:
-sensitive skin
-rosacea
-eczema
-a history of contact dermatitis
Just as perming the hair on your head can lead to dryness and damage, brow lamination could potentially damage your eyebrows in the same way. Your chances are greater if you repeat the process too often, or sooner than 6 weeks.
Another more serious risk is eye damage. This may occur if the chemicals run into your eyes during the procedure.
Aftercare is important to follow with Brow Lamination as it can undo the hard work your brow tech has done, meaning a total waste of money and time on your part. "I always suggest not getting the brow area wet for 24 hours, so washing around the area is best," Lauren advises. This also includes not using a steam room or getting excessively sweaty at a workout class.
Once this 24 hour window has passed, Lauren recommends, "oil, oil, oil" to hydrate the hairs. Lauren loves castor oil, which she suggests "coating it over your brows every night before bed and building it into your daily skincare regime."
