Beauty Trends: Everything about Eyebrow Lamination

Bold brows are still going strong!

Eyebrows can frame the face in the most beautiful ways. Instead of spending hours on drawing and filling yours with gels, mascaras, pencils, and all other similar products, why not try eyebrow lamination? The procedure isn’t pricey, it’s semi-permanent, and you won’t face those awful needles. You’ll get naturally fuller brows, with a feathery finish. It’s a refreshing change from brow tattoos, and way less invasive than microblading.

Lamination helps tame the eyebrows in a way that helps fill in undesired gaps and makes brows look thicker and fuller as a result. Brow lamination will help straighten and tame stubborn hairs and achieve a fuller brow shape.

The process mainly involves straightening eyebrow hairs using a chemical solution, so that they all stand in the desired direction. The method alters the texture of the brow to give the desired brushed-up glossy look, and all you have to decide is what sort of finish you want from your lamination and how severe you want the feathering.

Since this is still a procedure, you’ll have to go to the professionals. Check out the reviews online and ask your friends for recommendations. A proper professional will do a 48-hour test to ensure the skin isn’t sensitive to any of the solutions.

We cannot compare brow lamination to similar brow treatments, but to explain it more thoroughly, it’s as invasive and uncomplicated as an eyelash perm. It’s not a miracle procedure; you won’t get Cara Delevingne brows in an hour, but you will have fluffier, fuller brows, that won’t require any additional products to look natural and attractive.

The feathered brow look is softer, less structured, and a whole lot wilder. Penciling is still the safest way to create fuller brows, but it’s time-consuming, and you have to practice to avoid looking like a lousy Snapchat filter. The idea is to make your eye open, not to put the focus solely on the brows.

The whole procedure will last up to two months, after which you can repeat the entire lamination process. Remember that there’s no such thing as a completely safe procedure, but this treatment belongs to non-invasive ones.
