Brow lamination is a popular beauty treatment that creates perfectly lifted and defined brows, lasting up to six weeks. To achieve the best results, the right products and techniques are essential. This guide will walk you through the must-have tools and products for brow lamination, step by step, to help you create stunning brows every time.
1. Extra Boost with Treatment Enhancer
A successful brow lamination treatment starts with proper preparation. Mrs. Highbrow’s Treatment Enhancer is a natural blend of ingredients, including salt, designed to cleanse thoroughly and enhance the adhesion of lamination products. This step ensures the lotions used in your treatment can penetrate effectively.
Before starting any brow lamination, lash lift, or henna brow treatment, use Treatment Enhancer to remove grease, dirt, and even residue left by makeup removers or skin prep lotions. This step is especially important to guarantee the best possible results for your clients.
Pro Tip: Apply Treatment Enhancer as the last cleansing step after using a standard skin prep lotion. This ensures your client’s brows are completely clean and ready for lamination.
2. Do You Always Need Glue?
A standard brow lamination involves the use of adhesive to tame unruly hairs, but this step may not always be necessary. For clients with thinner or softer brow hair, or those with normal density and reasonable length, you can skip the adhesive step.
By skipping the glue, you save time and streamline your process, provided the brows meet these conditions:
- Hair Texture: Suitable for thin to medium-textured hair. For thick or stiff hairs, adhesive is still recommended.
- Hair Length: Longer brow hairs can be laminated without adhesive, but shorter hairs require it.
- Density: Full brows benefit from adhesive for precision shaping, while sparse or medium-density brows may not need it.
Skipping the glue can save several minutes, allowing you to start directly with Step 1 of the brow lamination process. Evaluate your client’s brows before deciding whether to use adhesive.
3. Keratin Complex: Nourish and Protect
Adding a nourishing step to the brow lamination process can elevate the experience for your clients. Mrs. Highbrow’s Keratin Complex is a fantastic option for enhancing the health and strength of brow hairs.
Apply Keratin Complex after Step 2 of the treatment, brushing it through the brows with a spoolie. If you plan to tint the brows during the lamination process, apply the Keratin Complex after the tint. Follow up with Step 3, the nourishing gel.
Why Include It?
Keratin strengthens and protects the hair, leaving brows healthier and shinier. Offering this additional step can also increase the value of your service—charge an extra €5 to €10 or offer it as an add-on option.
4. The Perfect Brush for Precision
While experimenting with tools, we discovered that a toothbrush can work wonders during brow lamination! After applying Step 1 lotion, use the toothbrush to smooth the hairs into place. This simple tool can help ensure each hair is aligned for a flawless finish.
It’s also great for removing excess product after the lotion’s processing time, making your workflow more efficient.
5. Durable Silicone Lamination Tool
For precise application and sustainable beauty practices, the Silicone Lamination Tool is a must-have. This reusable tool allows you to evenly spread lamination products without wasting any. Unlike disposable brushes, silicone tools don’t absorb products, making them both cost-effective and eco-friendly.
6. Luxury Brow Lamination Display
A professional setup enhances both your workflow and the client’s experience. The Mrs. Highbrow Brow Lamination Display organizes all your tools and products in one place, allowing you to focus entirely on creating beautiful brows.
Bonus: The display is handmade in the Netherlands, and purchasing it as part of a bundle comes with a discount!
7. Client Aftercare: Maintaining the Look
Brow lamination offers perfectly brushed-up brows for weeks, but some daily maintenance is required. After sleeping, brows may lose their shape. Encourage your clients to brush their brows upward each morning with a spoolie for the best results.
For extra hold, suggest they use Brow Fix or Brow Gel after the first 24 hours of treatment. These products keep brows looking polished and help extend the effects of lamination.
Final Thoughts
Brow lamination is a transformative treatment that can redefine your clients’ looks. By incorporating the right products, such as Treatment Enhancer, Keratin Complex, and durable tools, you ensure outstanding results while providing a luxurious experience. Don’t forget to educate your clients on proper aftercare to keep their brows looking fabulous between appointments.
With the right approach, tools, and a little creativity, you can perfect the art of brow lamination and leave your clients delighted with their beautifully sculpted brows.
