Brow Lamination is a game changer in the world of makeovers. What makes it so trending is the fact that the final results are insane. I think it is the look of brows that everybody wants naturally, but sadly, it can’t be.
Brow Lamination is quite trendy in the modern era. I also like it very much, as it makes your brows look attractive and gives them a precise sequence. But do you know how brow lamination suddenly became a popular self-care method and where it originated? If you don’t, I am here to tell you all about it.
This is all thanks to this brow lamination treatment, which allows us to get a look of our personal choice and in any shape we want for our brows. However, one of the reasons that make it popular is that this treatment lasts long enough to enjoy your new look.
This creative beauty treatment came from Russia and swiftly became trending all over the globe. It is the most popular among the different brow treatments available in the market. However, it is easy to observe if a person has gone through brow lamination treatment due to the smooth, glassy, and brushed-up hairs you can find all over social media.

The treatment involves modifying the structure of brow hairs. However, this is done to operate the hairs easily and carefully and to allow you to choose whichever shape of the brow you like.
As a first step, they break the keratin bonds present within the hairs, which gives them moving flexibility. Then, before fixing them with cream, the brow hairs are lifted and brushed up into your desired shape or position.
After setting the hairs up, a cream is applied to restore the keratin bonds, and then the brows are fixed into shape. This is much like using gel or soap to keep the hairs of brows up, but unlike them, the lamination does not wash out.
The lamination treatment is the best when you are not ready to get a permanent makeover to make your brows look fuller, shiny, and glossy.
Can I Do Brow Lamination By Myself At Home?
Brow Lamination is a treatment that involves the use of certain types of chemicals. It is recommended not to try this at home as the chemicals can harm the eye area if done carelessly or by mistake.

If the treatment does not go well at home, there is a high risk of allergic reactions, or the brow hairs might also get damaged. On the other hand, if the treatment is overly done, which means longer than recommended, your brow hair will look brittle, dry, and curled. In the worst-case scenario, the hairs can even break off.
As for the final look, there is no comparison between the final look done by the salon and at home. You cannot get a finish like a salon at home.
Durability of Brow Lamination
After going through a brow lamination, it generally lasts 6-8 weeks, an average estimate for most people. However, depending on your natural hair growth and how well you take care of it, it can last up to 10 weeks in favourable and ideal conditions.
Once a certain period is over, you should wait until the lamination automatically goes off from your brows by the growth of your brows hair before making an appointment for the subsequent treatment. I recommend letting the lamination drop off itself and only getting another treatment when lamination is finished as over-processing on your brows hair can damage them.
Aftercare of Brow Lamination
Aftercare is vital, and it is crucial to keep the brows in better condition after the brow lamination so they last. The most exciting fact is that you can get the best results if you keep the brow lamination dry for 48 hours after the treatment.
If water spills on your brow lamination before it is fixed correctly, the lamination can drop off, and your brows will return to their previous state. You can get your brows wet after 48 hours.
Furthermore, as we discussed, lamination is a chemical process, so we do everything recommended to keep them uplifted and upright as long as possible after getting the treatment.
You will be given a serum in the salon that you must apply on your brows once or twice a day, as suggested. However, castor oil can also be used as a good alternative if you run out of it. Let’s take a look at aftercare do’s and don’ts that one should follow for best results:
Do’s
- Keep your eyebrows dry for at least 24 hours after the treatment and, for best results, 48 hours.
- Regularly brush your eyebrows up to keep them lifted and upright.
- Apply serums given by a salon or nourishing oils such as castor oil to prevent brow hair from dryness.
Don’ts
- You must not touch, brush, or apply makeup on your brows for at least 24 hours after the treatment.
- Do not visit tanning salons, saunas, and swimming pools.
- Do not let the direct sunlight fall on your brows after the treatment.

Conclusion
To give an honest review, I like brow lamination treatment as it gives my brows a fluffy and fuller look. The brow lamination helps attain a better shape and gives them a shiny look. It is the best and most recommended look for people who like their brows brushed up or soap brows. Another interesting fact is that they last longer than any other treatment, like soap brows. However, one thing to remember is that an aftercare routine is a must to keep your brow hair hydrated, nourished, and healthy.
