Today we want to tell you about one of the latest beauty trends for eyebrow treatment, “Eyebrow Lamination” or Brow Lamination.
As you know, for some years now, eyebrows have taken on a leading role, and many treatments have appeared on the market to help us achieve the results our clients ask for. But it's important to know how to choose, at any given time, the one that best suits the eyebrow type and desired result.
Currently, the trend is thick eyebrows, but well defined and with visible hairs, which is why it's important to have alternatives in your salon such as Eyebrow Lamination, which helps enhance thin eyebrows while keeping them looking nice and groomed.
Although there are many cosmetic products on the market that help fill in and set eyebrows, many women want the convenience of not having to do this step every day and still achieve professional results.
What is Eyebrow Lamination or “Brow Lamination”?
It is a semi-permanent treatment applied to the eyebrow hairs that achieves a “brushed up” eyebrow effect, smoothing the most unruly hairs and setting the desired shape.
It is carried out in several steps with products that soften the hair and make it manageable, then set and chemically smooth it.
The final step is applying a lotion that hydrates and nourishes the area. It is also possible, if desired, to complete the service with eyebrow tinting for a more intense result.
Aftercare is simple: eyebrows should not get wet in the 24 hours following treatment, and it is enough to keep them hydrated.
Difference between Microblading and lamination, which treatment to use?
First, we'd like to clarify that eyebrow lamination does not replace Microblading — they are two different treatments.
The main difference between these two treatments is that Eyebrow Lamination is not an invasive treatment, meaning it only works at the level of the eyebrow hair, unlike Microblading, which involves micro-cuts at the epidermis level to introduce pigment.
Eyebrow Lamination can be considered an alternative to Microblading in the following cases:
- It can be done on any type of eyebrow, but it is especially recommended for unruly hairs growing in different directions, small bald patches, or sparse hair.
- It is also perfect for people with very light and fine hair, since the products add texture and intensity.
- It is completely painless and non-invasive, so many clients who have ruled out microblading for this reason will be more willing to try it.
- It is a short treatment; including eyebrow tinting, you can have your client ready in just 45 minutes.
- The cost of the service is more affordable.
- Specialized prior training like that required for microblading is not necessary; you just need to follow the steps indicated on the product.
- The possible adverse effects of Microblading are considerably reduced with this treatment, since it is applied locally to the hair.
- In principle, it could be performed on people for whom microblading is contraindicated.
The effect of Lamination lasts between 4 and 8 weeks depending on the thickness and quality of the hair, and the result is so good that your clients will get hooked on this service.
Eyebrow Lamination or Brow Lamination cannot replace Microblading in cases of absent hair or a significant lack of density, if bald patches are noticeable, or if a large area of the eyebrow needs to be filled in for the eyebrows to look perfect.
