What is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment designed to enhance the appearance of eyebrows by restructuring the brow hairs. The process involves applying a chemical solution that temporarily breaks down the disulfide bonds in the hair’s keratin structure, allowing the hairs to be repositioned into a desired shape. Once the hairs are set in place, a neutralising solution reforms the bonds, locking the hairs into their new position. This technique results in fuller, more uniform, and well-groomed eyebrows.

The Origins of Brow Lamination

Brow lamination originated in Russia around 2019, inspired by the lash lifting technique. Early brow lamination was developed as a way to achieve a sleek, brushed-up effect without permanent tattooing. The treatment quickly gained popularity across Europe, the UK, and the US due to its ability to create the now-iconic “fluffy brow” look soft, lifted, and natural with minimal effort and a non-invasive approach.

Why Understanding the History Matters

• Better Client Education: Explaining the origins and benefits helps clients appreciate the treatment and builds trust.
• Skill Development: Knowing how the technique has evolved allows artists to refine their approach and adapt to different brow types and trends.
• Staying Competitive: Keeping up with new trends and products ensures brow artists remain at the forefront of the industry.
  

Duration of Results

With proper aftercare, brow lamination results typically last 4-6 weeks, sometimes up to 8 weeks, depending on the natural growth cycle of the hair. To maintain optimal results and prevent over-processing, it is recommended to wait at least 6-8 weeks before performing another lamination session.
