Treatment in the Spotlight: Eyebrow Lamination

Move over, microblading - there’s a hot new beauty treatment in town, transforming the way people are styling their brows. And we are here for it.

A treatment that’s raising eyebrows, lamination has become one of the most in-demand beauty treatments of recent times and it’s easy to see why as eyebrows frame the face and can completely change the look of someone.

So if you fell victim to overplucking in the 90s, the big and bold brow in recent years, or got some dodgy microblading that has finally faded, it’s time to get laminated and bring your brows back to life.

But, what even is lamination anyway?

What is Eyebrow Lamination?

Eyebrow lamination is a beauty treatment that temporarily chemically straightens the eyebrow hair to put it into place, and hold it there. The latest, and most exciting beauty treatment will give you the best brows of your life. Designed to achieve naturally looking and fuller brows in just one hour, eyebrow lamination is the semi-permanent solution for beauty and brow lovers.

Amazing for those with thin, sparse, asymmetrical, or unruly eyebrow hair, the finished look offers full, feathery eyebrows that completely change the look of someone’s face. This innovative beauty treatment restructures the brow hairs to put them – and keep them – in a designed shape, meaning that you don’t need to spend time styling your eyebrows every morning.

If you’re still not sure how it works, by now, you’re probably au fait with an eyelash lift. That’s where the beauty therapist applies a product that curls your eyelashes and holds them in place, like a perm. Lamination does the same thing for the eyebrows; except it’s not curling the hairs – it’s straightening.

Psst. Did you know that an eyelash lift and tint goes well with an eyebrow lamination to really make the features of your face pop? They go together like gin and tonic.

Now we’ve totally sold you on the look of the treatment, you’re probably wondering how the heck lamination works? Let’s take a look…

How Does Eyebrow Lamination Work?

You’ll need to have a patch test before this treatment is carried out, but when passed, you’ll have a consultation with a beauty therapist who assess your current eyebrows and talk you through the process.

Next, your eyebrows and surrounding areas will be cleaned and dried before a chemical solution is applied for around 15 minutes. During this part of the treatment, a beauty therapist will also brush your brows into place, where they will remain until the treatment slowly wears off over the coming weeks.

Sometimes cling film is added to lock in heat and help the product work through – this is particularly helpful if you’ve got coarse or stubborn hairs.

Following this part of the treatment, the solution is removed and, if needed, a tint will be applied to your eyebrow hair and a tidy up with the removal of rogue hairs.

And that’s it, you’re done. You’ll be ready to leave with your new look and bags of confidence.

How Long Does Eyebrow Lamination Last?

The million-dollar question, is eyebrow lamination permanent? The good news, for the commitment-phobes out there, is that lamination is not permanent. There is no lasting effect to the shape, colour, or condition of the eyebrows once a lamination treatment has been carried out.

With the correct aftercare, eyebrow lamination can last up to six weeks.

What Aftercare is Needed for Eyebrow Lamination?

Keeping your eyebrows looking their best after a lamination treatment is pretty straightforward. All we ask is that you keep them completely dry and avoid touching and applying makeup onto your brows for 24 hours following your appointment.

Due to the nature of the product, the eyebrow hair can get a little dry as the treatment wears off so it’s best to keep your eyebrow hairs conditioned with a moisturiser or an oil.

How to Get the Laminated Look at Home

Truth is, these types of beauty treatments should only be carried out by a trained professional. However, if you want to mimic the look of laminated brows at home then grooming your eyebrow hair into place using a brow gel, clear mascara, or the legendary soap brows (literally brushing clear soap through your eyebrows holding them in place) will achieve the same look. But, of course, they’ll only last for a few hours.
