Brow Lamination 101

They say that the brows frame the face, and fortunately for you, you no longer have to depend on blunt tweezers and poor eyesight to transform your eyebrows into face-framing works of art. Now, there are numerous innovative treatments available to trim, tidy, as well as transform your brows. Brow lamination is the newest, and it has become incredibly popular.

Brow lamination, also known as an "eyebrow perm," recreates the trendy look of thick, bushy eyebrows. It is ideal for those of us who want to achieve a 'brushed-up' look but are unable to do so because their brow hair is too fine or straight.

So What Is Brow Lamination?

Eyebrow lamination, also known as an eyebrow perm, is basically a brow hair texturizing treatment. It is a procedure in which a brow technician uses a chemical solution to soften your hair follicle and then re-shapes, or sets it into a brow that is more refined, lifted, and smoother shape. The end result is perfectly brushed-up brows which look fuller, more uniform, as well as defined, lasting approximately six weeks.

Benefits Of Brow Laminating

The most obvious advantage of laminated brows is their appearance. When done properly, the brows will lay in a much more aesthetically pleasing shape, and also the brows appear fuller and lifted.
In addition to smoothing out all the hairs, you could reshape the brows slightly during lamination, such as raising the arch or even lowering the tail to achieve the desired shape.
Unlike some of the other brow treatments, such as microblading, this procedure is non-invasive and temporary, making it an excellent choice for many people who do not want to commit to all other brow services.
Because lamination can last for up to eight weeks, there is no need for frantic brow brushing as well as gel setting each morning, hich allows for a lower maintenance everyday routine.

Preparing For Brow Lamination

Before delving into what you can expect from your appointment, it is critical that you arrive prepared. Avoid alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), retinol, or other exfoliating skincare products at least two days before your appointment. These products can cause a reaction with the lamination solution, leading to an unwanted skin reaction. Brow technicians also advise against threading, tweezing, or waxing your brows before your appointment.

If you have extremely sensitive skin, you should get a patch test before your appointment. Unlike many other beauty treatments, lamination does not always require a patch test. Therefore, an allergy will not be discovered until the solution is applied to your brows.

Conclusion

If you like the look of thicker fuller brows and do not want to microblade them, you should consider an eyebrow lamination treatment. The perming technique used for this procedure gives you a tidy and sophisticated look, which is becoming extremely popular.

It is crucial, just like with any professional beauty procedure, to work with a certified and experienced provider. You should also consult a dermatologist if you suffer from any chronic skin conditions that could be aggravated by the chemicals used in the lamination process.
