If you've spent time on Instagram or TikTok lately, you've probably noticed those bold, perfectly fluffy brows that everyone is flaunting. If you're wondering how they got that look, the secret is brow lamination, the latest beauty trend taking over the brow world.

But what is brow lamination, exactly? Whether you’re a lash technician looking to add to your services or want your brows done by a pro, we’ve covered everything you need to know about this trendy treatment. Find out why it’s making waves, how long it lasts, how long it takes, and why it’s perfect for those who want low-maintenance, high-impact brows.

What is Brow Lamination?

The universal description of brow lamination likens it to a “perm for your eyebrows!” Of course, you’re not trying to create frizzy locks, but the process also uses a chemical solution to give you semi-permanent, well-behaved eyebrows. 

This treatment gives your brows that coveted, full, fluffy look by straightening and setting your natural hairs into place. It smooths out any unruly hairs and fixes them in an upward direction, giving the illusion of more volume and a polished, structured shape.

Think of it like a brow lift but without the surgery or pain! It’s a quick and painless way to achieve model-like brows that stay in place even after you’ve slept on them or worked out. It’s perfect for anyone tired of trying to tame their brows with gels and pencils every morning!

How Does Brow Lamination Work?

Brow lamination is an exciting alternative to microblading or invasive brow lift procedures. This quick and effective treatment gives brows a fuller, more defined look lash technicians will enjoy creating and clients will love!

Step 1: The consultation will begin with a quick discussion about the desired style and shape, and what suits facial features best. Thereafter, the brows are cleansed to eliminate excess oils, makeup, and bacteria. 

Step 2: A softening solution will then be applied to make the brow hairs more flexible, so they can be shaped in the preferred direction. This step ensures that brows appear fuller and more lifted.

Step 3: The solution is combed through the brows with a mascara wand or spoolie brush, ensuring each hair is coated. Covering the brows with plastic wrap helps the solution set properly.

Step 4: After a few minutes, a setting solution is applied to lock the brows into place. The brow hairs are brushed upward to achieve a fuller, lifted look, which will be set for a few additional minutes.

Step 5: For a polished result, stray or non-conforming hairs are tweezed away.

Step 6: Finally, a nourishing serum is applied to hydrate and keep the brows soft and shiny.

This process is quick and gentle, making it an ideal choice for anyone looking to enhance their brows without the commitment or discomfort of more invasive procedures. It’s also an excellent add-on for lash technicians as it helps you to expand your repertoire!

How Long Does Brow Lamination Take?

The beauty of a brow lamination treatment is that you can still have gorgeous brows even if you're pressed for time. The process only takes 30 to 45 minutes (a maximum of one hour), making it the perfect lunchtime beauty fix.

How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?

Brow lamination typically lasts six to eight weeks. That’s over a month of flawless, defined brows that stay in place with minimal effort. Of course, how long it lasts will depend on your growth cycle and how well you follow the aftercare advice.

Who is Brow Lamination For?

Brow lamination is for anyone wanting to enhance their natural brows without the hassle of daily grooming. Whether your brows are thin, thick, uneven, or unruly, this treatment works wonders for all brow types. Only those struggling with dermatitis, eczema, or psoriasis should avoid it.

If you’re constantly reaching for a brow gel or brushing your brows into place, lamination will be your new BFF. It’s also a great alternative to microblading if you’re not ready to commit to something more permanent but still want a bolder look.

Benefits of Brow Lamination

So, why is brow lamination causing such a stir in the beauty world? There are many reasons, including the following:

• Fuller-looking brows: By lifting and setting the hairs, brow lamination gives the illusion of thicker, fuller brows, even if your natural brows are sparse.
• Flawless shape: If you’ve got uneven brows or hairs that like to point in different directions, lamination will help smooth them out for a cleaner, more polished look.
• Low maintenance: After a brow lamination treatment, you won’t have to worry about styling them for weeks. A quick brush is all that’s necessary. They’ll stay in place no matter what your day throws at you.
• Not painful or invasive: Unlike microblading or brow tattoos, brow lamination doesn't require needles or semi-permanent ink, making it a great option for anyone who wants less intensive beauty treatment.
• Perfect for any occasion: Whether you're getting ready for a special event or just want to perk up your everyday look, laminated brows add that touch of glamour without being over the top.
