Brow lamination reshapes your natural brow hairs so they sit neatly in a lifted, more even direction. It’s ideal if your brows feel sparse, grow unevenly, or need daily coaxing with gel, giving you a fuller-looking finish that stays put for weeks.
More information
What brow lamination includes
Brow lamination focuses on improving the direction and shape of your natural brow hairs for a smoother, fuller look.
- A brow consultation to agree your preferred shape and finish (from softly lifted to a more brushed-up effect)
- Cleansing and preparation of the brow area to help the products work evenly
- A setting process that relaxes the brow hairs so they can be brushed into a new direction
- Careful shaping and alignment for better symmetry and a cleaner brow line
- A conditioning step to keep brows feeling softer after the treatment
- A tidy finish, which may include light trimming of longer hairs and styling
- Straightforward aftercare guidance to help results last as long as possible
Brow lamination for sparse, unruly or downward-growing brows
If your brow hairs point in different directions, sit flat, or leave gaps where they separate, lamination helps them lie more consistently. The result is a stronger brow shape without relying on heavy pencil work each day. It can be especially flattering if you want definition that still looks natural in daylight.
How brow lamination is carried out, step by step
Your brows are cleansed, then a gentle setting system is used to make the hairs more flexible. The brows are then brushed into the agreed shape and set in place, followed by conditioning to reduce dryness. The appointment usually takes under an hour, depending on your brows and the finish you choose.
Brow lamination aftercare and maintenance
For the first 24 hours, keep brows dry and avoid steam, saunas and oil-based products around the area, as these can weaken the set. After that, brushing brows into place each morning helps maintain the look, and a nourishing brow serum can improve softness. Most clients rebook every 4 to 6 weeks, in line with natural hair growth.
When brow lamination may not be suitable
If the skin around your brows is broken, irritated, sunburnt, or you have an active flare-up (such as dermatitis in the area), it is usually best to wait. If you have very brittle brow hairs from over-processing or strong actives used near the brows, your therapist can advise on timing and alternatives.
