As a semi-permanent procedure, brow lamination may also be a good fit if you want to keep your brows styled a certain way but are tired of using eyebrow gel every day. [You will need to repeat the process at some point in the future to maintain your results.]

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:

1. First, your esthetician will apply a cream to your brows that aims to “lift” up your hairs.
2. Next, your brow hairs are brushed upward to help pull them in a uniform vertical direction.
3. Then your esthetician will apply a neutralizer to help seal your brows into place.
4. 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 color enhancement or changes

You will also want to apply a nourishing oil or cream every night to help prevent your brows from drying out.
