Brow lamination is a beauty treatment designed to straighten and set eyebrow hairs in a brushed-up, fuller appearance. Before lamination, eyebrows may look natural but potentially unruly, sparse, or uneven in hair direction. After the treatment, brows appear sleek, lifted, and more defined, with straightened hairs that stay in place for weeks.
Before Brow Lamination
- Natural brows can be straight, bushy, curly, or have hairs growing in different directions.
- Brows might appear less defined or sparse in some areas.
- Hairs can be unruly and hard to control without product.
After Brow Lamination
- Hairs are brushed up and set in place for a more uniform and fuller look.
- Brows appear defined and shaped, often with a lifted effect.
- The treatment typically lasts from 3 to 8 weeks depending on hair growth cycles.
- Aftercare involves brushing hairs into place and sometimes filling in sparse areas with makeup.
- Some experience the sensation of the brow hairs feeling stiffer or "straw-like."
Common Process
- Bonds in the brow hairs are broken with a lifting chemical solution.
- Brows are brushed into shape and set using a neutralizing solution.
- Brows may be tinted and shaped post-lamination.
- The entire procedure takes around 45 to 60 minutes.
Visual Transformations
- Brows look naturally fuller and tidier post-treatment.
- Some variation includes "baby brow lamination," where only the front part of brows is laminated for a subtler look.
Several sources provide extensive before and after photos showing the significant aesthetic difference, highlighting brows that look more polished and groomed after lamination.
