Eyebrow enhancements have become increasingly popular in beauty salons and spas. One of the latest trends is brow lamination. If you’ve seen an increasing number of impeccably styled, shiny brows in your Instagram® feed, you might be curious as to how this treatment works and whether it’s right for you. The following guide provides some insight.
What Is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination, also called an “eyebrow perm,” is a technique that originated in Russian beauty salons. It is a semi-permanent procedure that smoothens and vertically lifts brow hairs to produce a sleek, high-shine aesthetic. Its effects are similar to microblading, which also gives individuals fuller-looking, darker brows. However, brow lamination does not involve any needles or coloring.
How Does It Work?
The esthetician will apply a cream to your brows, then brush them up. They will then seal the hairs with a neutralizer. Finally, they will apply oil to prevent skin irritation or dryness resulting from the chemicals used in the procedure.
Similar to the traditional perm you’d get in a hair salon, brow lamination effects last a couple of months, at which point you can have it done again.
What Are the Benefits?
The procedure is ideal for those with unruly or thinning brows, as it produces a bolder, elegant look that draws attention to the eyes and frames the face attractively. Similar to brow waxes and gels, it tames and sets the brows and adds a glossy finish. The difference is you don’t need to re-apply it every day. In addition, having a hairstylist set your brows means professional results.
