Brow Lamination
When it comes to Brow lamination, you’re in safe hands. Our Beauty Practitioner Lorna has been nominated for awards for this service. Brow Lamination involves the “perming” of your eyebrow hairs to provide a fuller, more even look. It can also help keep them in place after washing off any cosmetics you may wear.
Here’s what’s involved in the procedure:
- First, your practitioner will apply a cream to your brows that aims to “lift” up your hairs.
- Next, your brow hairs are brushed upward to help pull them in a uniform vertical direction.
- Then your practitioner will apply a neutralizer to help seal your brows into place.
- The last step is a nourishing oil to help prevent skin irritation and hair dryness that may be caused by the chemicals used during the perm.
In total, brow lamination takes 1 hour or less to complete. Optional add-ons to the procedure may include:
- tweezing excess hairs
- waxing to create your desired arch
- tinting for colour enhancement or changes
You will also want to apply a nourishing oil or cream every night to help prevent your brows from drying out.
Potential risks and side effects
swelling
- redness
- peeling
- itching
- bumps
The side effects may occur directly beneath and above the eyebrows, but they may also extend to your eyelids.
This procedure may not be recommended if you have:
- sensitive skin
- rosacea
- eczema/psoriasis
- a history of contact dermatitis
- allergies to brow lamination products (patch test required)
Just as perming the hair on your head can lead to dryness and damage, brow lamination could potentially damage your eyebrows in the same way. Your chances are greater if you repeat the process too often, or sooner than 6 weeks. Another more serious risk is eye damage. This may occur if the chemicals run into your eyes during the procedure.
How long does brow lamination last?
Perhaps the greatest downside to eyebrow lamination is that the effects are only temporary. To maintain your new brows, you will need to repeat the process every couple of months, similar to a traditional perm.
