Brow lamination is a popular beauty treatment that helps to achieve perfectly shaped eyebrows. This procedure smooths and lifts the eyebrow hairs by giving them a polished look. If you're interested in learning brow lamination do your salon, read this step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
What is Brow Lamination?
Eye brow lamination is also known as a brow sculpt or brow lift. It is a new beauty trend that became popular on social media last year. Brow lamination is a process that involves straightening and lifting the hairs using a chemical solution.
This helps to create the appearance of fuller and more evenly shaped brows. It's a great option for people who have unruly or thin eyebrows and want a defined look without daily maintenance.
How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?
This semi-permanent treatment can last for six to eight weeks. The exact duration depends on the hair growth cycle and how well your client takes care of their brows after the treatment.
Products and Tools You Will Need:
- Brow lamination kit (includes lifting solution to soften the hair, setting solution that sets the hair in its position, and nourishing serum to condition the brows after treatment.)
- Plastic wrap or film to cover the brows during the process
- Cotton pads or swabs
- Clean spoolie brush
- Gentle facial cleanser
- A small bowl of water
- Towel
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: Cleanse The Eyebrows
Start by thoroughly cleaning the eyebrows and the surrounding area. Use a gentle facial cleanser to remove any makeup, oil, and dirt. Pat your client's skin dry with a towel.
Step 2: Brush The Brows
Use a clean spoolie brush to comb the eyebrow hairs upwards. This will help to separate and prepare the hairs for the lamination process.
Step 3: Apply the Lifting Solution
Take a cotton swab or a small brush and dip it into the lifting solution from the brow lamination kit. Apply the lifting solution evenly to the eyebrows, making sure each hair is coated.
Cover the eyebrows with a piece of plastic wrap to keep the solution in place and activate it with the body heat. Leave the lifting solution on for the recommended time, usually around 8-10 minutes. Check the kit’s instructions for exact timing.
Step 4: Remove the Lifting Solution
After the recommended time, remove the plastic wrap. Use a clean, damp cotton pad to gently wipe off the lifting solution from the eyebrows.
Step 5: Apply the Setting Solution
Apply the setting solution to the eyebrows with a new cotton swab or small brush. This will help set the hairs in their new position. Cover the eyebrows again with a piece of plastic wrap. Leave the setting solution on for the recommended time, usually around 8-10 minutes.
Step 6: Remove the Setting Solution
Remove the plastic wrap after the mentioned time. Gently wipe off the setting solution with a clean, damp cotton pad.
Step 7: Nourish The Brows
Apply the nourishing serum given in the kit to your client's eyebrows. This step is crucial as it helps to hydrate and condition the hairs to keep them healthy and shiny. Use a clean spoolie brush to distribute the serum evenly through your eyebrows.
Aftercare Tips
After completing this brow lamination process, ask your client to follow these tips to enhance the effect for a longer time.
- Avoid getting the eyebrows wet for the first 24 hours after lamination. This helps to set the new shape.
- Avoid touching or rubbing the eyebrows excessively.
- Apply a nourishing serum regularly to keep the brows healthy.
