With bushy brows a rising trend that’s showing no sign of stopping anytime soon, the demand for longer lasting styling is growing with people wanting perfectly preened eyebrows that don’t require going back to the salon every few weeks. The answer to all our brow prayers? Brow Lamination. Don’t worry, we’re not talking about double sided plastic coverings on your eyebrows!
What is Brow Lamination?
First practised in Russia, brow lamination is a semi-permanent technique that positions each individual strand of hair for the ultimate full, fluffy, on-point brows. The process starts with a cream brushed onto the brows that breaks down the hairs’ structure to make them easier to shape. They are then finely brushed and trimmed into the exact desired shape and a laminating solution is applied to re-build the bonds in the hairs and lock them into place for up to eight weeks! This is followed by any further treatment, such as tinting, and finished with a moisturising oil to soothe the skin and nourish the brows. The technique is ideal for anyone with disorderly bushy brows that need securing into place, as well as for thinning brows or brows with gaps as the hair can be re-positioned to fill in the gaps and give an illusion of a fuller eyebrow.
How to get the look at home
With prices ranging up to £55 and top ups needed every 6-8 weeks, brown lamination doesn’t come cheap. As lamination solutions can also be harsh on the skin it’s good to go natural once in a while. This doesn’t have to mean giving up your perfectly groomed brows; we’ve put together the ultimate at home how-to for getting that perfectly positioned look at home.
Step 1: Nourish the brows
The best kind of brows are healthy brows. Use a nourishing brow serum or oil to strengthen the hairs and encourage growth for fuller looking brows for you to work with.
