Brow lamination is a relatively new and quite popular beauty treatment. A brow lamination, also known as brow perm is a treatment that repositions your brows to create a fuller and uplifted look.

The results of this treatment are amazing, and many women can’t get enough of this look. If you’re curious about the whole treatment and the maintenance and aftercare of brow lamination, we’re here to give you a hand.

Let’s check out the essential tips for laminated brow aftercare.

What is brow lamination?

If you’re a fan of a natural and makeup-free look, then eyebrow lamination is the right treatment for you. Brow lamination is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment that covers and fills in all the little gaps in your eyebrows by making them fluffy and full-looking.

This treatment uses a chemical solution that straightens and lifts brow hairs in a vertical direction. It softens and gives more flexibility to brow hairs.

Importance of brow lamination aftercare

Since brow lamination is a non-invasive treatment, the aftercare is pretty simple and easy to follow. Unlike microblading, there’s no long healing process involved.

However, brow lamination is a chemical treatment and if you want to ensure brow health, proper aftercare is crucial.

So, without further ado, let’s see what a day-by-day brow lamination aftercare looks like. 

The first day after brow lamination treatment

In the first 24 hours after the treatment, you shouldn’t touch or wet your eyebrows. Getting the brows wet or sweaty will disrupt the setting process of the solution used for this treatment. Similarly, try not to apply makeup or skin products on or around the brows. Especially stay away from Retin-A, and alpha-hydroxy acids.

Touching your eyebrows can also disrupt the solution and you can mess up the uplifted look you want so much. So, don’t rub or brush your eyebrows.

During the first 24 hours, you should also avoid sun exposure and tanning beds.

The second day after brow lamination treatment 

On the second day after you’ve had your brow lamination treatment, you should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, saunas, and steam rooms. Also, try to avoid going swimming on the second day after the treatment.

Try not to apply makeup or exfoliate the brow area. And just like in the first 24 hours, don’t apply Retin-A, and alpha-hydroxy acids.

Third day and onward

On the third day and onward, you can start brow maintenance. Use a spoolie brush to groom your eyebrows and help them maintain their lifted look. To achieve this brush them upward and outward with Castor oil. According to professionals from Lash Blossom, you shouldn’t use any oils at least 48 hours after the treatment, but after that, you can apply them daily. 

If you don’t have Castor oil, Jojoba oil is a good substitute. The oils will keep your skin hydrated and your brow hairs nourished and healthy. If you notice stray hairs or areas requiring touch-ups, use a brow pencil or powder to gently fill them in without disturbing laminated hairs.

Products you can use on laminated brows 

If you want to retain your brow shape for a prolonged period, you should know which products you can use on them. 

As mentioned, castor or jojoba oils are great for keeping your skin and brows nourished and hydrated. You can also put conditioning serum at least two times a day to keep the eyebrows healthy and in shape.

Then, a brow gel can keep the brows in place and help prolong the time of lamination. There are many different kinds of brow gels, so choose the one you like the most.

Brow pencil and powder, tinted brow mascara, and other similar brow products are all safe to be used on laminated brows. However, try to avoid products that contain alcohol because alcohol can dry out your brows.

When to schedule follow-up treatment?

Brow lamination is an amazing beauty treatment but its effects fade with time. In most cases, brow lamination can last anywhere from 4 to 8 weeks. But this will depend on the type of your skin. 

For some people, brow lamination lasts longer for some shorter. What’s important is the aftercare that can prolong the life of lamination. Generally, the best time to schedule your re-lamination treatment is every 4 to 6 weeks. 

Can brow lamination be removed?

While you can mess up the lamination if you’re not careful and you don’t follow the aftercare tips mentioned above, you can’t remove the lamination completely.

If you don’t like the look of laminated brows, you can wash your brows regularly and brush them back to their natural shape while you wait for the treatment to wear off.

Conclusion

Brow lamination is a very trendy beauty treatment nowadays. It guarantees fuller and uplifted brows in just a couple of steps. But for your laminated brows to last longer, you’ll need to know how to care for them after the treatment. Hopefully, these tips can help you maintain your laminated brows until your next treatment.
