While it depends on a variety of factors, including your age, how often you’ve plucked, the speed of your hair growth, health considerations, and diet, you don’t have to be stuck with thin eyebrows forever.

Why Brow Growth Can Be Stunted

Because the skin around the eyebrows is thin and delicate, it’s easily traumatized.  

Other factors that affect eyebrow growth include:

How often you pluck

Do you pluck your brows once a week, once a month, or every other day? Sometimes, brow growth can become stunted because of how frequently you pluck them. If you pluck your eyebrow hair every day, for example, you’re actually traumatizing the skin around the brows. And this can cause permanent damage, even scarring. If this happens, the hairs won’t grow back. 

Your age

Thinning hair due to age isn’t just a scalp problem.  As we get older, we lose some hair. This includes brow hair. 

Underlying health conditions

Some thyroid conditions can lead to brow thinning. Iron, vitamin D, biotin or zinc deficiencies can also stunt hair growth.

Five Ways to Help With Brow Hair Growth

To make your face more eyebrow “friendly,” try making these five changes to your eyebrow regimen:

1. Toss the magnifying mirror

Start treating your eyebrows with a bit of TLC by giving  them the space and time they need.If you’re constantly looking in the magnifying mirror , obsessing over each tiny hair, your eyebrows will never get the chance to recover.

2. Choose the right tweezers

Avoid using tweezers that have a wide,  flat end.  Instead, choose tweezers with an angled end so you can pull in the direction of your hair growth.

Also, avoid tweezers with rubber grips on the end. The rubber creates more friction, which causes more trauma to the hair when you pull it out.”

3. Pluck your brows fresh out of the shower

Skin tends to be softer and more delicate right after a shower. This is a great time to tweeze because brow hairs slide right out with minimal effort. 

4. Eat a healthy diet

Eating a well-balanced diet can supercharge eyebrow growth. Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors is important.  

• * If you aren’t getting enough vitamins from your diet, taking a multivitamin can be beneficial. 
• If you eat red meat fewer than two or three times a week, or eat a plant-based diet, an iron supplement may also be a good idea. 
• If you don’t regularly eat fish and shellfish, omega-3 supplements have been shown to be helpful for hair growth. 
• Bioton has been shown to be quite beneficial for the health of skin, nails, and hair.

*Always consult with a physician before starting any supplement regimen. 

5. Ask your doctor about prescription or OTC eyebrow growth treatments

Bimatoprost (brand name Latisse®) is a prescription topical used to lengthen and thicken eyelashes and eyebrows. If you prefer the over-the-counter route, minoxidil (brand name Rogaine®, meant for hair growth on the scalp, has also been shown to stimulate hair growth on thin eyebrows. *As with supplements, before experimenting with these or any other medication, always consult with a physician first.

What if my lashes don’t grow back?

When it comes to eyebrow regrowth, patience is key.  The hair growth cycle for eyebrows is generally between three and four months.

If you don’t see results as quickly as you’d like, there’s more good news.

If you’re  like so many of our other clients who have over-tweezed, plucked, or even shaved their brows, please don’t fret!  At Specialist Skin Solutions, located in the beautiful heritage suburb of Lorn, we have a variety of great treatment plans that can help make even the thinnest brows thick again.

The post Can Thin Eyebrows Become Thick Again? appeared first on Specialist Skin Solutions.

When it comes to human attraction, it should come as no surprise that men are attracted to certain characteristics and behaviors in women without even realizing it.

Though it’s impossible to generalize a list of features that all men find attractive in a woman, there are a few that stick out.

Confidence. Men seem to sense it when a woman is comfortable in her own skin, regardless of her size, body type, or skn color. In other words, to be the most appealing to the opposite sex amounts to being happy with yourself and placing your authentic self above trends or other people’s opinions.

Sense of humor. Being able to laugh and have fun can be an important part of any relationship. It may also promote feelings of closeness that might not be found in any other relationship. In fact, being able to laugh at oneself might even be one of the most attractive traits of all.

Adventurous spirit. Some men are more attracted to women who take risks and are willing to try new things. Though this doesn’t apply to all men, there are guys who enjoy getting outside and might like a woman that enjoys things like hiking, mountain climbing, paddle boarding, and surfing.

Healthy Appearance. More than simply a fit body, a pretty face, or a bright smile, a healthy appearance is also the steps a woman takes to care for herself. A woman who works hard at the gym can be more attractive than a skinny chick who wears a size zero without trying, for example. One who eats a healthy diet may mean more to some men than an emaciated figure.

Honesty and openness. Being honest can be crucial in any relationship as is the ability to communicate feelings openly.

Intelligence. Not just about having advanced degrees or a high IQ, intelligence may involve being knowledgeable about politics and other worldly events, an ability to hold a meaningful conversation, and a desire to learn.

Physical traits. There are physical traits that are sometimes beyond a woman’s control, such as body type, height, and breast size, and believe it or not, the thickness of one’s eyebrows. These are all characteristics some men deem highly important when choosing a partner.

Do Gentlemen Prefer Thick Eyebrows?

An interesting result emerged from a study published in Frontiers in Psychology that revealed that men find bushy brows more attractive than other brow thicknesses. The study, conducted at Oakland University in Michigan,  asked 1000 men and women to rate a series of images to study which facial features they found to be most attractive. Some results of the study, like a softer jawbone being more attractive for women and a more well-defined, strong jawline being more attractive for men, were expected.  

But when it came to men’s preferences in the thickness of a woman’s brow, scientists found that women with thicker eyebrows were  perceived as being more attractive to men than those with thinner brows.

Dr. Lisa Welling, the author of the study, noted that “it could be that relatively thicker eyebrows signal other qualities, such as a tendency towards more grooming.”

Why are eyebrows important?

There are evolutionary reasons behind the preference for one brow over another. A key identifier for one’s face, the shape of one’s eyebrows is typically one of the first features of your face that others notice.

What’s Behind the Bushy Brow Craze?

The popularity of thicker eyebrows came at the heels of the ’90s super-thin arches, doing a complete 180 degree turn. People went from over plucking their brows to desperately searching for a way to grow them back. Enter an army of eyebrow gels, pencils, pens, powders, and pomades storming store shelves.

To accelerate the bushy brow trend even more, Tik Tok and YouTube tutorials by the thousands began showing up revealing how to get the perfect Insta-brow.

Are Thick Eyebrows For You? 

Like chocolate and vanilla, the traits a man finds attractive in a woman are as individual as the man himself. Some men might prefer a woman with red hair, while other gentlemen, as they say, prefer blondes.  So, if thick eyebrows are something you’d like to try, but you weren’t blessed to be born with them, there are new treatments available to help even the thinnest eyebrows look luscious, lovely, thick, and voluminous.

If you’re hoping to adjust your looks to fit the wants of someone else, it might help to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all for being an attractive woman.  So, rather than trying to fit into someone else’s box, just being your true authentic self, creating your own box, is probably the most attractive trait of all.

Bushy Brow Boosters – Microblading vs. Brow Lamination

The two most popular brow boosting treatments, microblading and brow lamination, are game changers in the beauty industry.  Though they have certain similarities,  they are quite different in terms of their methods,  longevity, and cost.

Brow Lamination  

Brow lamination is a great option for anyone looking to enhance the appearance of their eyebrows without the commitment of more invasive or permanent procedures. Brow lamination involves the use of a chemical solution to reshape and set eyebrow hairs in place, creating a fuller, more defined look.

The brow lamination process typically involves three steps: applying a lifting solution to straighten the hairs, applying a setting solution to keep them in place, and finally applying a nourishing serum to condition and protect the brows. Unlike micro blading which can last up to 18 months or longer, brow lamination typically lasts  up to 6 weeks but can vary depending on the individual’s hair growth cycle.

Microblading 

Microblading is a semi-permanent treatment that involves creating hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs. Unlike brow lamination, micro bladed brows can be a great solution for people with thin and sparse brows.

During the microblading process, a brow expert maps out the desired shape of the brows, taking into account the client’s natural brow shape and facial features. Then, a sterile, disposable microblading tool is used to create small, hair-like strokes in the skin’s uppermost epidermis layer using a specialized pigment. Though microblading is a longer lasting technique than brow lamination, lasting up to two years, it requires a longer recovery. Following microblading, it is important to follow your brow artist’s aftercare instructions.

Which Treatment is Better for Me?

Brow lamination and microblading are both highly effective brow enhancement trends that have been experiencing rising popularity in recent years. Choosing brow lamination or microblading is a personal choice that should be made only after conducting some of your own research and exploration. If you’re looking to enhance your looks and save time in the morning, both brow lamination and microblading are great options.

Brow lamination is a non-invasive, temporary solution for achieving fuller, more defined brows, while microblading is a semi-permanent tattooing technique that can create long-lasting, natural-looking results.

The choice between the two ultimately depends on individual preferences, goals, and budget.

Take Away

When it comes to the laws of attraction, it might come as no surprise that men are drawn to certain characteristics in women like fuller butts, a great smile, and bushier brows.

Though it seems that the current trend for attractiveness when it comes to eyebrows is the thicker version, what truly matters most is  what makes you feel the most comfortable inside.

If you’re new to the world of brow enhancement all together or if you’re just wondering about the possible side effects of brow lamination, you’ve come to the right place. In this article we’ll talk about what to expect during a brow lamination appointment; the risks, benefits, and side effects of this treatment; as well as what, if any, its effects on sensitive skin may be. A non-invasive brow smoothing treatment, brow lamination softens and repositions the natural brow hairs to create a fuller and smoother, yet natural look with minimal post-service maintenance.

A salon technique similar to a lash lift, some people compare laminated eyebrows to a hair gel for the eyebrows that doesn’t leave behind a residue or wash off. A similar effect to DIY brow lamination or brow soap, the process involves using a styling cream that allows brushed up brows to be swept into a uniform direction and create a desired shape, making unruly brows growing in different directions appear neat and sparse areas look full for several weeks. Lamination can make your brows look bushy, cover up gaps, and reduce the appearance of thinning.

How does brow lamination work?

Brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment, performed by a brow expert, that involves applying a chemical solution to the natural brows to reshape the brow area and setting the eyebrow hairs in an upward position to create a fuller appearance and a laminated effect. Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination permanently sets the brow hairs, and ultimately reimages the frame of your face.

Brow lamination works by chemically breaking down the bonds in the eyebrow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped and set in a uniform direction.

It’s worth noting that brow lamination is not suitable for everyone, and it’s important to consult with a trained brow expert before undergoing the treatment.

What happens during brow lamination?

The brow lamination process (also referred to as brow shaping or brow lifting) is a chemical process for the brow hair which reshapes the brow, creating a more desirable face shape. Brow lamination involves lifting and rearranging the natural hairs by using a perm solution that sets brow hairs upwards.

If you’ve had other brow treatments, it’s best to wait 4 to 6 weeks before getting your brows laminated for the best results. Even if you think you don’t have enough hair, don’t worry! The more natural your brow hairs are, the better because a blank canvas allows brow artists to create masterpieces.

What to expect during your brow lamination appointment 

1. The bonds in your brow hairs are broken with a fixing solution applied onto clean eyebrows.
2. The brow artist then brushes and straightens the hairs into the desired position.
3. The solution is covered with plastic wrap. How long the solution stays on depends on the thickness of the client’s natural brow hair. 
4. A setting solution can be used for repositioning hair bonds to a new shape. 
5. The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Enhanced appearance: Brow lamination can give eyebrows a fuller, thicker, and more defined look. It can also help eyebrows to appear more symmetrical and even.

Longevity:  Brow lamination can last up to six weeks or more, depending on the individual’s hair growth cycle. This is much longer than traditional methods like waxing and tweezing.

Time-saving: Because you don’t have to worry about constantly fixing or touching up your eyebrows, brow lamination can make your morning routine easier, freeing you up to do other things.

Non-invasive: A safer and less painful alternative to microblading or other permanent makeup techniques, brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment, requiring no knives or needles. 

Painless: Because no cutting or injections are involved, brow lamination is a completely pain-free treatment.

Affordable: Brow lamination is less expensive than other treatments at the outset, though the treatment must be repeated about every 6-8 weeks.

Risk of irritation for sensitive skin: Because brow lamination involves the use of chemicals, it can cause irritation or an allergic reaction, making it a less than desirable solution for  people with sensitive skin.

First of all, what is eyebrow lamination?

Thanks to a fabulous new brow lamination treatment, impeccably styled eyebrows are just as attainable as beautiful designed hair. While many people describe it as a brow hair perm, (similar to soap brows and a lash lift) brow lamination is a non-invasive and pain free brow enhancement treatment that will do everything from trim and tidy your brows to completely transform them, creating the beautiful face frame you’ve always dreamed of, is simple, painless, and affordable.

If you’ve never heard of brow lamination, this article is for you! Brow lamination is an eyebrow treatment  that softens and repositions your natural brow hairs to create a fuller, thicker, smoother, and natural look with very little maintenance required.

What To Expect During a Brow Lamination Treatment

The whole brow lamination process, which takes around 40-50 min, begins with the brow stylist cleaning the eyebrows. Similar to a brow perm, brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment, performed by a brow expert, that involves applying a chemical solution to the natural brows to reshape the brow area and setting the eyebrow hairs in an upward position. Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination permanently sets the brow hairs, and ultimately reimages the frame of your face. 

By chemically breaking down the bonds in the eyebrow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped and set in a new direction, brow lamination leave the brows looking fuller, with a more defined shape that lasts for up to 8 weeks. The process is painless and typically takes less than an hour.

Steps to Follow Before and After Eyebrow Lamination Appointment

Now that you’ve made the decision to have your natural brows laminated, the next important step is to maintain them. To maintain beautifully laminated brows, following the correct aftercare is critical. Our easy-to-follow brow lamination before and aftercare tips will ensure that you get the very best results everytime, and that your brows remain fluffy and full for as long as possible.

As a part of your eyebrow lamination aftercare, it is crucial that you:

• Avoid getting the brow area wet for 24 hours.

• Avoid contact with direct sunlight, sunbeds, saunas, steam rooms, and swimming pools for the first 48 hours

• Avoiding excessive rubbing or touching of the treated area for 24 hours.

We also recommend that you follow these guidelines in the run up to and the days after your treatment:

• Avoid using exfoliating (AHA, BHA, or scrubs) and anti-ageing skincare around the brow area for three days before and after your treatment.

• Avoid self-tanning products (including gradual tan) on the face for three days before or after your treatment as it can discolour the eyebrow tint.

• Your stylist may apply some make up at the end of your treatment, however you should avoid applying any further heavy make up (foundations, etc) on the area around the brow for 24 hours.

Brow Lamination Before Care

Prior to your brow lamination appointment, we recommend that you follow these steps:

• Avoiding exfoliants, retinoids, or AHAs on your face for at least a week prior to your brow lamination treatment.

• After brow lamination, avoid tweezing for at least one week before your appointment.

• Arrive at your appointment without any makeup on your eyes or face.

Brow Lamination Aftercare

For the first 24 hours after your brow lamination treatment:

DON’T get your eyebrows wet (this includes bathing, showering, washing your face swimming, sweating, and any other activity that involves water.)

DON’T use a sauna.

DON’T use oil based products.

DON’T apply heavy creams, makeup, or makeup remover to your brows.

DON’T lay directly on your brows or sleep on your stomach.

Why it’s important not to get your brows wet after eyebrow lamination treatment

Probably the most important thing after brow lamination is not to get your eyebrows wet. Similar to a lash lift, keeping your brows dry for the 24 hours following your lamination treatment is very important. During the lamination process, we use an assortment of creams as well as a permanent gel to relax and shape your brows. If you get your eyebrows wet too soon after we finish applying these products, your brows do not have a chance to set with their new shape.

The main reason you must not get your brows wet within 24 hours of your treatment is that contact of water can affect the lamination procedure and affect the durability of the treated surface. In addition to avoiding washing your face, you should also refrain from swimming, taking a sauna, or entering a steam bath for the first full day following treatment.

How long does a brow lamination last?

A brow lamination will last about 6 to 8 weeks, provided that the appropriate aftercare steps are taken. The length of of tie your laminated brows will last can range from 3 to 8 weeks, depending on your growth pattern. Be sure to follow the “DON’TS” mentioned above for the first 24 hours following your treatment for longevity sake. In the 48 hours following your treatment, we do suggest applying a hydrating balm or a castor oil to your brows daily. We also recommend brushing your brows in an upright/styled position anytime following a shower (or after getting your brows wet) to help keep their new shape.

Can I wear makeup after brow lamination?

Though your brow stylist may use makeup during the procedure, we strongly advise that you avoid applying heavy makeup around the brows for at least 24 hours.

Getting your brows laminated is a painless, convenient, and accessible procedure that lasts longer than old-fashioned brow treatments like waxing and plucking and is more affordable than other treatments like microblading.

How to maintain brow lamination results

A few aftercare steps and a simple maintenance treatment will help keep your brows looking in their desired position for 6 to 8 weeks following the lamination process.

Aftercare tips to follow in the first 24 hours after your treatment

Avoid sleeping face down

If you normally sleep on your side or face down, it’s best to sleep on your back for the first couple of days.

Avoid excessive touching

Resist the temptation to touch your eyebrows or rub your eyes following brow lamination treatment.

Do your best not to get your brows wet

It’s important not to let your beautiful new brows be exposed to water or any any type of moisture as it could interfere with the chemicals used and lesses the longevity of your treatment.

It’s highly recommended that you avoid swimming pools and baths for at least 24 hours and be extra careful when showering and washing your face. Do not bathe, shower, or wash your eye area for the first 24 hours following treatment.

To avoid getting your brows wet and maintain your new beautiful brows, we suggest that you book your appointment on a day that you don’t have to worry about applying makeup. Because  it’s a good idea to avoid sweating, we’re giving you a free pass to take the day off from working out.

Avoid steam rooms

Just like getting brows wet, the excessive moisture in the steam room can prevent your newly laminated brows from keeping their new shape.

Avoid swimming pools

Not only do you want to prevent your newly laminated brows wet, but the chloride in the pool can cause irritation.

Don’t Use Harsh Chemicals

To avoid skin irritation, do not use certain skincare products and sunscreens that contain harsh chemicals for the first 24 hours after your treatment. Because your hair follicle has been opened, the use of toxic substances can cause a skin irritation.

Avoid using makeup after brow lamination treatment

Though your stylist may add a make-over to your treatment, we recommend that you avoid using makeup on your brows for 24 hours.

Avoid sun exposure for up the 72 hours

This includes natural direct sunlight and tanning beds.

Can you use skincare products after brow lamination?

During the first 24 hours after treatment, you should avid applying any skincare products around the eye area.

Stay away from anti-ageing products around your brows as well for 72 hours following the procedure. Exfoliating facial cleansers and scrubs should also be avoided.

Can you wear makeup after brow lamination?

For the first 24 hours following treatment, we suggest that you avoid applying heavy makeup around the brow area. This includes products like foundation, primer, and concealer as applying additional products during this initial period may cause skin irritation, rash, spots or bumps.

How to care for brows following brow lamination treatment

Eyebrow lamination is a semi-permanent procedure using chemicals that break down the bond within the hair of the eyebrow and makes it possible to manipulate brow hairs. Applying a brow conditioner or conditioning serum can help the results last longer and help to keep brows shiny and looking polished and neat.

How long do laminated brows last?

When properly maintained, your newly laminated brows can last from 6 to 8 weeks, but to maintain the best results, your brow stylist will show you how to use a spoolie brush to properly brush your brows if needed. Brow lamination will last longer if you do not apply additional brow tint or other brow lamination products.

One of most sought-after treatments in Australia, brow lamination is one of the most popular beauty trends of 2023. If you’ve ever wondered how much it costs to get professional laminated brows, it’s probably a lot more affordable than you might think. Read on to find out more!

What Is Eyebrow Lamination?

Eyebrow lamination is a completely non invasive, semi-permanent eyebrow makeup enhancement procedure that works to polish unruly brows, make sparse brows look thick, and thinning hair in the brow area look fluffy and bushy. A great alternative to the more expensive micro blading, brow lamination is completely painless. It straightens curling hairs and repositions the brow to the highest point, giving them a unique shape and texture, leaving you with thicker eyebrows and smoother skin beneath.

How does Brow Lamination Work?

Brow lamination may be a good fit for you if you want beautiful new brows and are tired of using eyebrow makeup every day.

1. Using an eyebrow lifter cream to remove any stray or sagging hairs, the technician brushes and straighten hairs using tweezers or a spooly.

2. A fixing solution is applied to clean eyebrows.

3. Brows are brushed upward and straightened into the desired position.

4. Next, the hair is treated with a keratin formula similar to that used to relax curly hair.

5. A setting solution is applied to restructure the brow hairs.

6.  The solution is covered with plastic wrap.

7. A setting solution is used to reposition the hair bonds into a new shape. 

8. Once all treatments have been completed, the  eyebrows area is then treated with a nourishing serum to soothe the skin. 

What Do Laminated Brows Look Like?

Brow lamination is the process of straightening and lifting  eyebrow hairs using a chemical solution to create a bushier look and precise shape. An alternative to more expensive treatments like  microblading, laminated brows involve a non-invasive process that is affordable, simple, and painless. The result is a smooth, shiny and a well-defined finish that will last for up to 8 weeks.

No longer will you have to spend hundreds of dollars eyebrow makeup as brow lamination is a one-and-done process that once complete, requires very little to no maintenance. While the price for an eyebrow lamination is more than a basic wax, the resulting elevated look  not only reduces the money spent on brow makeup, but the time you’ll save not having to style brows yourself every morning makes  it a smart investment.

 Laminated brows are straighter, bushier, and thicker, while at the same time, smooth, polished, professional and perfectly shaped.

The entire process takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

How long do laminated brows last?

Your newly polished, brushed-up brow look will last from 6 to 8 weeks, but to maintain the nest results, your brow stylist will show you how to use a spoolie to properly brush your brows if needed. 

Pro tip: Use an interdental brush instead of our normal brow bush. The thin hairs on this dental tool make combing your brow hair easier. It also helps to prevent any residue from getting into your eyes.

What Does Brow Lamination Aftercare Look Like?

 After your brow lamination appointment, there are some dos and don’ts to follow during the first 24 hours. 

• DON’T: Touch or rub your eyebrows.

• DON’T: Get your brows wet—this includes showers, baths, swimming pools, and steam rooms. 

• DON’T: Lie face down while sleeping.

• DON’T: Engage in activities that make you sweat (IOW, you have permission NOT to go to the gym that day!)

When it comes to wearing makeup after a brow lamination,  we recommend refraining from wearing makeup, especially on and very close to your brows, for the first 24 hours as well. This also includes any skincare products like masks, serums, creams, or self-tanning products. After the first day,  you can go back to applying makeup and skincare products and return to your normal routine. It’s that simple! 

To avoid getting your brows wet, we suggest that you book your appointment on a day that you can stay at home and relax.

Can brow lamination be done at home?

Though there are techniques like using different types of gels, pomades, and brow pens and the soap method to create feathered looking brows at home, none of those methods offer the precise, smooth, and perfectly polished  long term results as professional lamination.

Soap brows can be a simple alternative for eyebrow lamination, but it only works if you already have thick brows and the technique only lasts a day. While it might seem tempting to go the cheaper DIY route,, in the long run, all of those home remedies prove to be more expensive and the only thing that will end up looking fuller will be your makeup case.

How long does brow lamination last?

How many days do eyebrows need lamination depending on hair growth? Your eyebrows and brows have an old-growth cycle where old hair is shedding and new hair comes through. It takes 30 days for a typical person’s hair to grow and this will allow brows lamination to last for three to eight weeks. For most clients, the lamination should last up to eight weeks.

What is the cost of Brow Lamination?

Compared to other brow procedures, brow lamination is extremely affordable. This is likely because the process involves little time and materials.

The average cost of eyebrow lamination ranges between $50 and $100 per session, depending on the size and material used. The same way hair cuts and prices are different at every salon, the same is true for beautiful brows. Brow treatments are generally more costly in large cities.

Brows define the face like no other feature so it’s no surprise that a new treatment that’s making beautiful brows more accessible to the general public is raising a few eyebrows.

One of the more sought-after treatments at salons across Australia,  right alongside lash lifts, brow lamination is one of the most popular beauty treatments of 2023.

What Do Laminated Brows Look Like?

There are many popular brow treatments these days, each with its one set of pros and cons. An alternative to more expensive treatments like microblading, laminated brows involve a non-invasive process that is affordable, simple, and painless. The result is a smooth, shiny and a well-defined finish that will last for up to 8 weeks.

No longer will you have to lay out hundreds of dollars every year on brow pens, pencils, and pomades as brow lamination is a one-and-done process that once complete, requires very little to no maintenance. While the price for an eyebrow lamination can range from $50 to $150, more than a basic wax, the resulting elevated look  not only reduces the money spent on products, but the time you’ll save not having to style your brows yourself each morning makes  it a wise investment.

 Laminated brows look straighter, bushier, and thicker, while at the same time, smooth, polished, professional and perfectly shaped.  Creating a precise edge, the brow stylist shapes and sets the brow into a permanently defined arch, leaving the brows looking well-manicured and perfect every morning with little to no effort whatsoever.

3. The brow artist brushes and straightens the hair follicles into the desired position.

7. A setting solution is used to reposition the hair bonds into a desired shape. 

8. Once all treatments have been completed, the brow area is then treated with a nourishing oil to soothe sensitive skin. 

The entire procedure takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

Soap brows can be a simple alternative for eyebrow lamination, but it only works if you already have thick brows and the technique only lasts a day.

• No knives or needles

• Bolder, thicker, fluffier brows

• Lasts longer than eyebrow tinting

• Fuller looking brows

What does brow lamination look like?

The brow lamination procedure varies slightly from person to person, depending on an individual’s natural brow color, thickness, and texture, as well as the person’s desired shape and overall look. Normally, however, it involves the following common steps:

1. A brow technician will generally start by performing a patch test to check for any allergies, skin conditions, and sensitivities to the keratin-infused straightening cream.

2. If the patch test reveals no skin irritation caused by the solution, the technician will begin the procedure. The first step is to clean the brows and the area around the eyebrows, mark the shape that suits the client’s face shape best and possibly remove any stray hairs.

3. The brow expert then applies the lifting cream onto the brows with an applicator. This cream works by breaking the hair bond and relaxing the hair follicle. This prepares the brow hairs to be manipulated and sculpted into their new shape.

4. After the application, the brow hairs will be brushed up in a uniform vertical direction.

5. Next, the area is covered with plastic wrap and allowed to sit for several minutes. Setting time varies depending on a person’s brow texture and thickness.

6. The brow technician will then remove the lotion and apply a second solution to set the hair in its new place. This is followed by another application of plastic wrap, which will remain for several more minutes.

7. Once the brows are set, the technician will remove the plastic wrap and all traces of the products.

8. Finally, a nourishing oil or serum is applied to replenish the eyebrow hair’s natural moisture and condition.

How long does the process take?

The process takes about 45–60 minutes.

Eyebrow lamination can help with:

• Curly or unruly hairs that grow in different directions 

• Uneven or asymmetrical brows

• Brow area that lacks definition or shape

• Thinning hair due to age or illness

• Sparse areas or gaps

The post What are the Benefits of Brow Lamination? appeared first on Specialist Skin Solutions.

Brow lamination is a popular beauty treatment that is trending all over social media. Also called brow sculpt or brow lift, quickly gained popularity in 2019 in England, eventually making its way to the US late last year. Gaining in popularity in Australia along with another brow trend, microblading, brow lamination was designed to give the illusion of fuller, more defined eyebrows.

What’s the difference between brow lamination and micro blading?

Two popular brow enhancing procedures for improving the appearance of eyebrows, brow lamination and microblading are both trending across social media. And although they have some similarities,  they are also quite different in terms of their cost, maintenance, and longevity.

Microblading is a semi permanent treatment that involves creating hair-like strokes to mimic natural brow hairs using a semipermanent makeup like tattooing. Microblading is a popular option for anyone looking to enhance the appearance of their eyebrows, those looking to create a more perfect eyebrow shape, or those who simply want to save time in their daily makeup routine. Unlike brow lamination, micro bladed brows can be a great solution for people with thin existing eyebrows and sparse brows.

The brow lamination involves straightening and setting the brows into a desired shape using a three-step process that uses a straightening solution, perming solution, and setting lotion. Brows laminations leave brow texture thicker, fuller, and with a fluffy shape. It also leaves the brows looking polished with more volume. Unlike microblading which can last up to 18 months or longer, brow lamination typically lasts  up to eight weeks but can vary depending on the individual’s hair type and growth cycle.

What is eyebrow lamination?

Thanks to a new brow lamination treatment that is easily accessible in 2023, impeccably styled eyebrows are just as attainable as beautiful designed hair. Simple, painless, and affordable, and capable of doing everything from trimming and tidying brows to completely transforming them, brow lamination can create the beautiful face frame you’ve always dreamed of.

With no more wasted time applying brow gel, brow pen, pencil, powders, and pomades, brow lamination can help save time in the morning, making your daily routine simpler and easier. And with all of the money you’ll save on the massive mount of products, having your brows laminated can help save you money as well.

If you’re a new to the world of brow lamination, we’ve got you covered. Brow lamination is a non-invasive brow treatment  that softens, repositions, and sets your natural brow hairs to create a fuller and smoother, yet natural look with minimal post-service maintenance.

What do laminated brows look like?

Laminated eyebrows look straighter, thicker, and smoother, and can be personalized according to your facial shape. It’s also an excellent alternative for anyone who needs help repairing problem eyebrows. If you have sparse hairs, thin brows, or if you’ve plucked your eyebrows to the extreme and they just won’t grow back, brow lamination can leave your brows looking like they have more hair. Laminated brows stay brushed up like a DIY brow soap treatment. The difference is, laminated brows will last for up to two months, whereas a soap treatment only lasts until your next shower.

How Does Eyebrow Lamination Work?

Similar to a brow perm, brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment, performed by a brow expert, that involves applying a chemical solution to the natural brows to reshape the brow area and setting the eyebrow hairs in an upward position. Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination permanently sets the brow hairs, and ultimately changes the frame of your face.

Brow lamination works by chemically breaking down the bonds in the eyebrow hairs, allowing them to be reshaped and set in a new direction so lay flat and appear brushed upwards.

The result is a fuller, more defined brow shape that lasts for up to eight weeks. The whole process is painless and typically takes around 30-45 minutes to complete.

What to expect during a brow lamination appointment

1. Brow hair bonds are broken down with the application of a fixing solution.

2. The brow artist brush brow hairs upwards and straightens the hairs into the desired position.

3. The solution is covered with plastic wrap.

4. A setting solution can be used to re-position the hair bonds to a new shape.

5. The entire brow lamination process takes approximately 45 minutes to an hour.

How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?

The length of time your lamination treatment lasts depends upon the individual’s hair growth. Like eyelashes, eyebrows have hair growth cycles. Most people have a 30 day growth cycle. For the most part a lamination will last 6 to 8 weeks.

Can anyone get brow lamination?

Brow Lamination, a Game Changer

Unfortunately, most of us are not born with the thick, full, neat, and flawless brows that perfectly frame our face. So, we tint, brush, pluck, wax, and apply endless amounts of makeup to compensate. The makeup shelves are filled with an abundance of brow pencils, pens, gels, and powders that claim to create the perfect brow but if you’re like most people, achieving the desired results seems almost impossible. No matter how many YouTube tutorials you watch, does it seems like the only thing you’re achieving is a beautiful (and expensive) makeup collection?

Brow lamination has come along to change all of that for once and for all. The finishing touch, brow lamination will help you to achieve the desired appearance you’ve always dreamed of with no need for massive makeup piles, time-wasting waxing, or painful plucking. Finally, the days of sadly sparse, overly made-up, and thoroughly thin brows are in the past.

Making a name for itself all over the covers of the leading beauty magazines, thicker, fluffier, and bushier brows are having a moment, as celebrities and influencers boast their brushed brow looks across social media.

From micro needling, threading, and tattooing to tinting, perming, and blading, there are brow treatments for every budget, face shape, and skin tone.

But with so many eyebrow treatments to choose from, deciding which one is right for your eyebrows can be tricky—until now.

These days, it seems that every beauty editor on earth is zoning in on one brow treatment. Brow lamination has risen above the other brow treatments as one of the most trending brow treatments of the day. Painless, safe, affordable, and effective, brow lamination is in the spotlight, the rising star in the world of brow beauty. Celebrities and beauty gurus are all posting pix of their newly laminated brow looks across the internet. And the good news is, in 2023, it’s now available to you!

How does brow lamination work?

Brow lamination is an innovative, affordable, and painless treatment that is now easily accessible, making impeccably styled eyebrow just as attainable as beautifully styled hair.

Sometimes confused with other treatments like a brow lift, brow sculpt, permanent makeup, or micro blading, brow lamination is a semi-permanent cosmetic treatment, performed by a brow expert, that involves applying a chemical solution to the natural brows to reshape the brow area and set the eyebrow hairs in an upward position.

If you’ve never heard of brow lamination or you’re just interested in learning more about it, we’re here to help! Brow lamination, sometimes referred to as a brow perm, is a completely non-invasive in-office treatment  that softens, repositions, and sets your natural brow hairs to create a fuller and smoother, yet natural look with minimal post-service maintenance.

Unlike microblading, which requires a few weeks of recovery time, you’ll see the results of your brow lamination almost immediately, with just one day of aftercare involved. Similar to a lash lift, brow lamination permanently sets the brow hairs, and ultimately reimagines the frame of the face.

How long does brow lamination last?

The total brow lamination treatment takes less than one hour to complete and lasts for up to eight weeks, making it one of the simplest, quickest, and most-effective brow treatments available today.

Does brown lamination hurt?

If you’ve ever wondered, “does brow lamination hurt?” we’re here to put your fears to rest. Eyebrow lamination may sound a bit intimidating, but it’s really a very simple, safe, gentle, and extremely effective brow trend that uses setting, straightening, and fixing solutions to tame unruly brows, add texture to sparse brows, make thin brows thick, and sculpt the natural brow into a flawlessly desired shape.

Is brow lamination safe?

Safe for all hair types and those with sensitive skin, an eyebrow lamination treatment involves setting brow hairs upwards. With no cutting or injections involved, an eyebrow lamination procedure is as simple as a straightening or perm treatment to the hair. Like a lash lift, brow lamination tames, softens, and straightens eyebrow hairs; adds more volume, helps to cover gaps, and creates a new shape to the brow.

A highly experienced and well-trained brow technician will start by performing a patch test on the eye area to make sure there will be minimal skin irritation. While a slight tingling sensation is normal, laminated brows are gentle on the skin beneath the brow area. During the brow lamination process, a gentle keratin formula, consisting of omega 3’s, vitamin E, vitamin C, antioxidants, silica, and antimicrobials, is infused into the brow hairs. The hairs are then brushed and precisely set into place with a brow brush to achieve a well-groomed desired look.

Not only will brow lamination will help you to shave valuable time from your already busy morning routine, this treatment will leave you looking more polished, professional, and lovelier than ever with minimal effort and zero pain.

If your goal is to finally have tamer, neater-looking, flawlessly neat brows that are fuller, thicker, and fluffier than ever, then brow lamination is for you.
