Brow Lamination: A Less Intensive Microblading Alternative
Pining over those shiny, smooth brows you’re seeing on every other photo in your feed? We are too! Brow lamination has become the preferred, less intensive microblading alternative. Free of needles, brow lamination uses the artistry of an esthetician’s hand and the beautiful brows that you were born with to create a long-lasting, bold brow look.
What is brow lamination?
There are so many ways to approach brow styling, and lamination is just one of them. Almost like a perm for your brows, brow lamination enhances your natural brow line with a chemical conditioner that makes it easy to manipulate each individual brow hair. The result? Your exact brow expectations are met with precision and style.
What are the benefits of brow lamination?
One of the many reasons brow lamination has become a more popular option for creating a stunning brow is that its benefits are limitless. Since this procedure is pain-free and non-invasive, it’s now a staple treatment to get a natural, bolder, and fuller brow look. Fluffier looking, thicker brows with no downtime or healing period have been unheard of in the world of cosmetic enhancement.
How long do the results of brow lamination last?
Whether you're choosing brow lamination for a vacation or a new look in general, it typically lasts anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks. Depending on the care you give your brows in the interim, it may even last up to eight weeks. Getting your brows re-laminated somewhere around the 4 to 6-week mark is recommended so that you can maintain the laminated look for a longer period of time. From there, it’s all about maintenance!
The average cost of a brow lamination session
In this era, our budgets have budgets. But the good news is, with brow lamination longevity, you can expect to pay around $100 for your session to get anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks out of your treatment. That means plenty of days of simply rolling out of bed, touching up your mascara, and heading out into the world.
What to expect from an eyebrow lamination session
If you’ve dabbled in semi-permanent makeup, you might have an idea of what your eyebrow lamination session will look like. If you haven’t, don’t sweat it. Your esthetician is well-versed in all things style, form, preference, and awareness.
How to prepare for your appointment
Part of preparing for your appointment involves pausing the use of retinol or prescription acne treatments for about 48 hours. This helps to keep the skin from becoming too sensitive creating the perfect environment for irritation. Make sure to show up makeup free with a cleansed face to save time getting in and out of your appointment with ease.
The process of eyebrow lamination
After your consultation, to get an idea of just how thick or fluffy you want your brows to be, your esthetician will begin mapping out your brow vision. After cleansing your brows, your specialist will brush your brows with a spoolie and use brow lamination solution from the root to the tip, keeping your brows steadily in place throughout your treatment.
When the lamination cream is applied to your brows, it begins breaking down the bonds in each individual hair. This gives those brow hairs more malleable, to be shaped into your ideal style. Once the perfect shape has been achieved, your aesthetician will set your brows, and you can determine if you’d like to add on any additional services from there.
Aftercare tips for best brow results
The best thing you can do after your brow lamination session is to make sure your eyebrows do not get wet within those first 24 hours. You can skip makeup on the day of your appointment and use a brow conditioner daily. You will want to make sure that you avoid rubbing or excessive touching of the brows.
If you’re a belly sleeper, avoid sleeping on your front side for those first 48 hours. With gentle care, your brows will stay in whatever shape you choose to brush them.
Brow lamination empowers you to sculpt your brows in a way that feels complementary to your face, mood, style, or outfit. There are so many opportunities for you to get creative with your eye makeup and watch how those laminated brows pull the whole look together.
