Have you heard about giving brows an edge and lifting them? This is what is called brow lamination, a lift for the brows. Brow Lamination gently relaxes the hair to improve your brow shape and offer a fuller brow look.
If your brows lack fullness, this is a treatment you must have. However, taking care of your Brow Lamination treatment is extremely important for the next forty-eight hours – this allows the brows to ‘ relax and set’ in their new and improved shape.
Brow Lamination: Before and after for a complete look change
The brow lamination treatment takes approx forty-five minutes. Before the process begins, the brow artist will discuss your current brow shape and what we can best achieve with your existing brow hair.
The brow lamination begins with the technician applying the 1st step, a gentle cream that relaxes the hair, carefully and expertly positioning each hair strand into perfect position. Brow Lamination is a 3 step cream application step, lifting, fixing and nourishing.
Why is aftercare necessary for brow lamination?
Each step of the cream application is important to each other and the next 48 hours are just as crucial for maintaining the longevity of the Brow Lamination. The next 48 hours the treatment is ‘setting’ and it’s important not to wet the brow hairs.
Things that must be avoided for brow lamination aftercare
Brow lamination aftercare in the initial hours is sensitive, and it is important to ensure that the treatment remains undisturbed. Here are some things that you must avoid for at least forty-eight hours following the brow lamination process :-
- Avoid getting your lamination brows wet, no cleanser, moisturiser, serums, sunscreen on or immediately around the brow hair
Water will dilute the brow lamination treatments as will all lotions and potions, they will break down the lotions that have penetrated the hair shaft. Avoid swimming, eyebrow washing, hair washing, etc., for the next 24 hours.
- Don’t rub your brows
While rubbing over the brows, it is possible to remove the product or even cause damage to the brows. Therefore, it is important that you avoid touching or irritating the area. This may cause redness, itchiness, or irritation.
- Heavy makeup
Makeup products are filled with harmful chemicals that can irritate your skin. At the same time, they can interact with the treatment used for brow lamination. This can result in an allergic reaction as well.
- Moisturiser, Oils, Serums, Sunscreen
Avoiding lotions, serums, or oils near the eyebrow area as these will breakdown the brow lamination treatment. We recommend our Brow Styling Soap applied DAILY to nourish and hydrate your brow hair. Hair and skin health is very important to maintaining the brow lamination treatment.
- Sun exposure
Avoid direct sun exposure for the next 24-48 hours after the procedure , avoid direct contact with the sun’s rays. Sun tanning is not recommended immediately following Brow Lamination as it could irritate your skin, causing redness and itching. Wear a cap / sunglasses for sun protection.
