Common Myths About Brow Lamination

Brow Lamination Damages Hair

If done properly by trained professionals, brow lamination is safe and does not damage eyebrow hair by its very nature. The treatment is done by straightening and setting the brow hair in place using a chemical solution to achieve an even contour. Excess processing, including leaving the product on too long or the regular repetition of the procedure, does result in dryness or brittleness, though. For optimal effects and health of the hair, the procedures should be spaced out and followed with aftercare, including the use of moisturizing serums to keep the brows well-hydrated and healthy.

The Procedure Is Painful

Brow lamination is completely non-invasive and pain-free. The client may feel an instant tingling effect during the application of the chemical solutions, but the discomfort is very slight. It is always best to inform your technician about the procedure; in case of stinging and irritation, the treatment may be adjusted accordingly.

Brow Lamination Is Not For People With Sensitive Skin

Brow lamination solutions are mostly safe, but you should be cautious if you have sensitive skin. Mild redness or irritation may be caused by the chemicals involved in the treatment in certain instances. A patch test is always recommended 24-48 hours in advance to determine whether you react to the treatment. If you are concerned about sensitivity, speak with your technician, who may suggest an alternate treatment or alter the procedure to reduce irritation.

Results Are Permanent

It produces semi-permanent results lasting on average 4 to 6 weeks, according to hair growth cycles and home care. Gradually, as new hair grows and the effect of the treatment fades, the brows gradually return to their original state. Maintenance appointments can be set at regular intervals to preserve the desired appearance.

Aftercare Is Not Required

Proper aftercare is essential to extend the effects of brow lamination and ensure healthy brows. The key aftercare practices are:

• Avoid Moisture:Refrain from wetting brows for the initial 24 hours after treatment.
• Limiting Heat Exposure:Avoiding the sun and saunas, as well as the use of steam rooms, for 48 hours.
• Gentle Cleaning: Clean the area around the eyebrows using mild, non-greasy cleansers.
• Hydration:Use nourishing oils or serums to moisturize the brow hairs.

Following these guidelines guarantees the longevity of the treatment and the health of your brows.

It’s Only For Thick Brows

Brow lamination is not only for thick or unruly brows but can benefit many different brow types. For sparse or uneven brows, the treatment can provide the appearance of thicker, more uniform brows by steering hair growth and filling out sparse areas. It is important to speak to an expert to establish whether brow lamination is the most suitable solution for you.
