Maintaining the health and beauty of your brows following eyebrow lamination requires proper aftercare to maximise the longevity of your results. If you opt to have a lash professional perform the procedure, they will likely give you detailed aftercare instructions. However, if you opt to treat yourself at home, it's important to take safety measures and follow the guidelines below.

Here, we'll discuss the proper and improper ways to care for your brows after brow lamination, as well as the products you should and should not use. You can keep your brows looking great after your lamination treatment has worn off by following these guidelines.

What Is Brow Lamination?

Brow lamination is a modern alternative to microblading that has recently emerged in the brow industry. Anyone with stray or unruly brow hairs, sparse brows, or who desires a groomed, brushed-up appearance or just-combed effect may benefit from brow lamination, a process that restructures the hairs to keep them in the desired shape.  It's the equivalent of getting your eyebrows keratin treated. Make brows tinted and nourished with our Flawless Keratin Tint.

It can help tame unruly or sparse eyebrows, creating a sleek and polished look. The procedure typically lasts for a few weeks, depending on the individual's hair growth cycle and aftercare.

Tips For Brow Lamination Aftercare

While the brow lamination can provide impressive results, it's essential to maintain proper aftercare to ensure that the brow shape and texture stay intact for as long as possible. Proper aftercare involves avoiding certain activities and using gentle products to protect the brow area.

Here are tips for brow lamination aftercare that will help extend the lifespan of treatment and keep brows looking fabulous:

• Keep your brows dry for the first 24 hours after the treatment. Avoid getting them wet or sweaty, as this can disrupt the solution's setting process.
• Avoid touching or rubbing your brows, as this can cause them to become misshapen or fall out prematurely.
• Use a spoolie brush to groom your brows every day. Brush them upward and outward to maintain their shape and ensure the hairs are going in the right direction.
• Maintain brow lamination with daily use of our brow sculpt, which helps to style brows.
• Avoid using any makeup or skincare products that contain oil or alcohol for 24 hours after treatment  on your brows, as this can cause the hairs to become greasy or stiff.
• If you swim or exercise frequently, consider wearing a sweatband or headband to protect your brows from moisture and friction. This applies only for the first 48 hours after treatment.
• Be gentle when removing makeup or cleansing your face. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing your brows, as this can cause them to become misshapen or fall out. Use lash wizard eyelash serum for nourishment and improvement of overall health of the lashes.
• Your clients will need an effective cleanser designed for eyelash extensions after you've applied those gorgeous extensions. The eye area is kept clean and refreshed with the help of the Foam Cleanser, which also helps the lash extensions last longer.

By following these tips, you can help ensure that your brow lamination treatment lasts as long as possible and that your brows look healthy and beautiful.
