When you hear “lamination,” you might picture that essential piece of paper encased in a layer of plastic. While that’s one type of lamination, **Eyebrow Lamination** takes the concept into the realm of beauty with a fresh twist.

Eyebrow Lamination has been the hottest trend in brow styling since 2020. If you’ve been scrolling through Instagram, you’ve probably seen those glossy, perfectly groomed brows that seem to dominate the feed. So, what’s behind this technique? Brow Lamination uses perming and setting solutions to chemically straighten and shape your brow hairs, resulting in a flawlessly set, gel-like finish. This treatment not only gives your brows a full, fluffy look but also lifts them for added definition. The real beauty of brow lamination lies in its adaptability—it can be tailored to address various brow issues, regardless of your specific concern. Whether you’re dealing with a threading mishap, persistent gaps that refuse to fill in, or brows that have been over-plucked, brow lamination has got you covered. And don’t get us wrong, we still appreciate all brow styles, including the thin ones. We’re simply embracing the latest trends to keep your brows on point!

Keen to try it out yourself yet? Or do you have big doubts nudging at you? Don’t worry, we’re here to clear up some common myths about Brow Lamination and set the record straight. So let’s get into it.

Brow Lamination is Harmful For My Skin and Hairs

Let’s start with addressing the elephant in the room - “How damaging is the treatment to my brows?”

In the process of laminating your brows, you’re going to be using chemical solutions. It goes without saying that when there are chemicals involved you need to take precautions.

When done correctly, the treatment is completely safe for both the brows and the skin. We stick to the rules and don’t try to get creative.

Never miss out on aftercare. Your brow hairs need care and looking after everyday. Think about how a hair wash, dye or treatment is always followed by a deep conditioning treatment. Without conditioner, hair can be left feeling dry, brittle and stripped of nutrients. To maintain healthy brows post lamination, make sure you apply a nourishing aftercare product that restores moisture to the hairs. We recommend using Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare. Thank us later!

The verdict? Lamination is not harmful for the brows unless you decide to not listen to a professionals recommendations or do it yourself. 

 

My Brow Hairs Will Curl Up or Stick Out

Imagine a proven hair straightening method somehow started curling the hairs instead. Well, that would be counterproductive, wouldn’t it? Thanks to the chemical solutions in the perm and lifting creams, the process of brow lamination has the hairs looking tall, flattened and pulled. The hairs also become super flexible after treatment so you can taper them together to achieve a put-together shape without worrying about that one oddly stuck out hair. (And if curling is your concern, you’ll be excited to know that beauty experts consider brow lamination a great service for curly, unruly and stubborn brows).

On this note, we can’t stress enough how important it is to follow the aftercare provided with your Lamination Kit and looking after those beautiful brows. Wetting the brows is the BIGGEST no. Because what happens when you put water on hair… it currrrls. Don’t moisturise for at least 24 hours post-treatment.

I Don't Want To Commit To Big Bushy Brows Everyday

Ok, so a couple of things to clear up on this point.

Firstly, Eyebrow Lamination is a long-lasting brow styling treatment that can sustain results for up to six weeks. But what it is NOT, is a permanent makeup treatment. Unlike microblading that involves physical needling on the skin, brow lamination replicates the feathered brow effect non-invasively. It simply elevates the appearance of the hairs by reshaping them. 

Secondly, the extra wet, glossy, and silk-coated initial look of lammy brows is not going to last forever! The sleekness in the brows is far more accentuated freshly post-treatment. After the first 24 hours, your brows hairs will settle into their new shape, exuding a soft feel. For daily maintenance, you still need to style the brows with a brow gel or soap. (We of course recommend the smooth Elleplex Aftercare Solution that glides over laminated brows perfectly).

So don’t be overwhelmed by the first look, it can seem like a lot if you’re not used to regular brow treatments. It’ll settle down. AND absolutely don’t feel like you’ve signed your life away because you’re not going to have to commit to the same look everyday.

You’ve got control, you’ve got freedom.

Brow Lamination Can't Be Paired With Other Brow Styling Treatments

For the brow addict in you who loves going all-in with your brow game, you’re probably wondering whether lamination is going to limit your styling options. The answer is no. Brow Lamination can be paired perfectly well with other brow styling techniques like, Tinting, Waxing, Threading and any Brow Cosmetic.

By combining lamination and tint in the same service, you’ll be able to achieve a glamorous, celebrity-style look. Tint will give the brows definition by adding a rich pigment. Following this, you can wax or thread around the brows to create a crisp shape. And for everyday styling, just use a brow gel or soap.

If we have convinced you, consider taking your lammy brows to the next level with a complete Brow Transformation. It’ll be a treat!

I Already Have Dark Eyebrows, I Don't Need Them Looking Extra

While dark brows play a big part in providing boldness and definition to the eyebrows, the key player there is the pigment. Lamination, on the other hand, correlates to the shape of the brows. Laminating brows that are already dark in colour doesn’t mean your look will be over the top by any means.

After the brows hairs are straightened by the perming solution, you can style them in any direction you want. If you’re not a fan of the big, fluffy brow, you can choose to hone in to the brow tail or amplify the arch instead.

In any case, it’s way better to get a professional to laminate your brows if you’re not 100% certain about the look you want. A brow stylist’s expertise will help you make your brows look the way YOU want them to.

Maybe Lamination Isn't As Scary As I Thought

We understand that sometimes it can be really daunting to make a decision about beauty products and treatments, because you just never know how it’s going to suit you. There really isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to styling treatments, but Brow Lamination has been trialled and tested for suitability across various hair and skin types and didn’t make its way to the top without reason. After all, it is the most sought-after trend.

If we have been able to convince you that Lamination isn’t as scary as you think by separating the myths from the facts, maybe it’s time you actually give it a go.

A non-invasive, painless, and easy-to-do procedure, Brow Lamination is your pathway to full, fluffy and sleek brows.
