Brow Lamination Survival Guide: Keep Your Brows Lookin’ Mint

Okay, let's talk about brow lamination, yeah? If you've recently had your brows laminated, you probably look like a straight-up superstar, sleek and fluffy and ready to face the world. But here's the catch: if you don't take adequate care of your brows, they can deteriorate quicker than you can say "oops." Don't worry, I've got all the aftercare instructions you need to keep your brows on point. 

1. Hands Off, Mate! 

First and foremost, do not fiddle with your eyebrows. I understand how enticing they are, but avoid the impulse to touch, massage, or itch them during the first 24-48 hours. The laminating procedure makes your brow hairs extremely sensitive, and fooling about might destroy their sleek, brushed-up appearance. Staring at them is acceptable, but touching is not.

2. Keep ‘Em Dry, Bruv 

For the first day or two, keep your brows dry. That means no swimming, buckets of perspiration, or face sprays from your morning shower. Moisture might soften the lift solution and cause your brows to lose form. If you must wash your face, do so cautiously around the brow region; avoid a full-on water onslaught. A moist flannel does wonders.

3. Say No to Heat 

Saunas, steam rooms, and strenuous exercise sessions? Give them a break for at least 48 hours. Heat interferes with the chemical process, and we don't want your brow lift to become floppy and unhappy. Basically, stay cool, calm, and collected.

4. Brush ‘Em Up 

Once the initial 24-48 hours have passed, it is time to sustain. Use a clean spoolie brush to gently comb your brow hairs into place every day. This helps them seem full, fluffy, and well-groomed. Consider it a daily mini-workout for your brows, keeping them strong and healthy.

5. Moisturise, But Smartly 

Brow lamination can leave hairs feeling dry, so use a nourishing brow serum or a small amount of castor oil. However, do not smother them with heavy creams or oils, since this might cause the lamination to break down. Dab, do not drag, and concentrate on the roots and hairs, not the skin.

6. Skip the Tinting and Waxing 

Your newly laminated brows are fragile, so refrain from tinting, threading, or waxing for at least 24-48 hours. Otherwise, you risk destroying all of that beautiful lift. Wait until your brow hairs have settled back into their new groove.

7. Bedtime Care 

Your pillow may be a sly adversary. Try sleeping on your back if feasible, or use a clean silk pillowcase to reduce friction. It helps to preserve your brow hairs from getting crushed overnight, so they look fresh in the morning.

8. Keep Up Regular Appointments 

Brow lamination kit does not last forever; it is generally about 6-8 weeks. To keep your brows looking good, schedule frequent touch-ups. It's also an excellent opportunity for your brow artist to assess the condition of your hair and provide further recommendations for at-home care.

Finally, brow lamination may be a game changer if properly maintained. Treat your brows properly - don't poke them, keep them dry, and show them some love every day - and you'll have on-point, Instagram-worthy arches that endure. With a little maintenance, your laminated brows will keep you appearing luscious and easily finished, with no faffing necessary.
