Everything You Need to Know About Before Your Brow Lift
If you're looking for full, feathery brows, a brow lift might just be the treatment for you!
This technique is designed to give your eyebrows a lifted, sleek appearance while naturally enhancing the shape and optimizing your features.
What is a Brow Lift?
Brow lift, aka brow lamination, is a semi-permanent treatment that enhances the shape and fullness of your brows. The treatment involves perming the eyebrow hairs to set them in a desired direction, creating the illusion of thicker, more defined brows. Whether you have unruly brows that need taming or sparse brows that could use a fuller appearance, brow lamination is the solution to achieving a low maintenance, fuller look.
What to Expect During a Brow Lamination Service
1. Consultation and Brow Shaping
The process starts with a consultation where your esthetician will assess your natural brow shape and discuss your desired results. Our lift services also include a brow design to ensure they are shaped and prepared for the lamination process.
2. Application of Brow Lift Solution
The first step is a lifting solution. This is carefully applied to your brows to relax and soften the hairs. It’s left on for a few minutes to process, depending on the thickness and texture of your brow hairs.
3. Setting the Brows
After the Brow Lift solution is fully processed, the second step is applied. This solution works to set the newly positioned hairs in place.
4. Tinting (Optional)
If you want to add more definition to your brows, we can include a tint with the treatment. This will assist in giving your brows a darker, fuller appearance. Please know - this tint will likely be dark at first! Trust the process and know your brows will look great once washed and styled.
5. Nourishing the Brows
Once the lamination process is complete, a nourishing treatment is applied. This step is crucial for maintaining the health and integrity of your brows. The conditioning treatment hydrates and nourishes the hair follicles, ensuring they stay soft, strong, and shiny after the treatment.
What to Expect After Your Brow Lamination Service
There are a few things to keep in mind for the best results:
1. Aftercare Instructions
To ensure that your brows stay looking flawless, it is imperative to follow the aftercare instructions.
Avoid getting your brows wet for the first 24 - 48 hours: This includes no sweating, swimming, or facial treatments that might expose your brows to moisture. The first 24 - 48 hours are crucial for allowing the setting solution to fully bond and set the hair in place.
Don’t rub or touch your brows excessively: Let the hairs settle naturally in the direction that they’ve been set. You will be able to style them to your preference after washing.
Avoid using any makeup or brow products: for at least 24 hours
2. Brow Conditioning Treatment: Why It’s a Must
After your brow lamination, it’s essential to keep your brows nourished and hydrated. Using a conditioning treatment regularly will help maintain the health of the brow hairs and prevent them from becoming brittle or dry.
We highly recommend a brow rejuvenator oil rich in peptides and vitamins that promote healthy hair growth, repair damaged follicles, and keep the hair soft and glossy.
Conditioning your brows daily will help lock in moisture and keep your laminated brows looking fresh and lasting longer. At only $20, this can make a huge difference in your overall treatment and will last 4-6 months with regular use.
3. Longevity of Results
Typically, brow lamination results can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks. Over time, your brow hairs will gradually return to their natural growth pattern. To maintain the perfect shape and fullness, you can return for a design or tint service within 3-6 weeks. We recommend waiting a minimum of 6 full weeks before processing a lift again to ensure the integrity of the hairs.
Brow lamination is a game-changing service for anyone looking to achieve fuller, more defined brows with minimal effort. By seeking a specialized professional for this treatment, you’re ensuring that your brows receive the best care during the process, delivering natural and long-lasting results.
