In creating a beautiful image, you can not do without well-groomed eyelashes and eyebrows. The expressiveness of the look gives confidence and attractiveness. But not everyone is naturally endowed with beautiful eyebrows, and often it’s not enough time to maintain the correct shape. That is why a new service is available for the fairer sex - lamination of eyebrows. How does it differ from an identical procedure for hair?

What is eyebrow lamination?
This procedure helps to make eyebrows thick, give them a natural healthy look. This is especially true for those who are overly keen on correction. Thin as threads or too wide groomed eyebrows are already out of fashion. Now the trend is naturalness. It is the lamination of the eyebrows that provides this effect. They look like painted.
Unlike extension or tattooing, this procedure is not aimed at creating an artificial beautiful image, but at giving it naturalness.
A similar composition is used for lamination of eyebrows as for hair, since the structure of the hairs is identical.
Indications for the procedure are:
- too hard hairs that do not lend themselves to styling and stick out in different directions;
- improper hair growth;
- too dull color, fast fading;
- irregular shape of the eyebrows;
- lack of time for daily care.
The result before and after the procedure is visible to the naked eye.Eyebrows look like models on the covers of glossy magazines. Their shade is more pronounced, shine appears, the hairs are soft and smooth, maintain a natural shape, become obedient in styling. Thanks to keratin and collagen in the composition of the lamination mixture, the damaged structure of the hairs is restored and their growth is enhanced.
The laminating composition also protects from the negative effects of the environment, and the eyebrows do not need additional use of decorative cosmetics, since they thus acquire a bright and saturated color. At the same time, the procedure is best suited for women with naturally thick eyebrows.
Advantages and disadvantages
The advantages of this procedure are mass:
- long-term effect (2 to 3 months), which cannot be achieved in other ways;
- natural healing of hairs from the inside, increase in density and increased growth;
- well-groomed and healthy looking eyebrows;
- easy styling, shape retention;
- lack of need for eyebrow cosmetics;
- independence of the effect from weather conditions, exposure to high temperatures and water (you can wash yourself, bathe in salt water, a swimming pool, visit a sauna and a bath);
- absolute safety and painlessness of the procedure.
The only drawback of the procedure is its high cost. Also, lamination is not compatible with the extension, as the extended hairs treated with the laminating composition will quickly disappear.
How long does the effect last?
It is worth noting that the result of the procedure is visible immediately, but how long does the effect last? If you properly care for the eyebrows, then the desired shade and shine will remain until new hairs grow back. This may take several months, the speed depends on the physiological characteristics.
Lamination has a cumulative effect, which is why you should not wait until new hairs grow. Masters need to be visited a little earlier, then it will be possible to extend the effect even more.
Possibility of carrying out during pregnancy
Pregnancy is not a direct contraindication to this procedure. Moreover, the mixture for lamination contains only natural ingredients that do not harm either the mother or the baby. Unless, of course, a woman has an allergic reaction to the components of the composition.
But it is worth noting that such eyebrow care for pregnant women is rare. The thing is that pregnancy has a positive effect on the condition of the hair, including the eyebrows.
How is the salon procedure
Lamination takes up to an hour.
The steps are as follows:
- Make-up removal and degreasing. Using a special makeup makeup is removed and the surface of the eyebrows is cleaned.
- Correction of the form. This step is not necessary, especially if the woman has taken care of the correct bending of the eyebrows in advance.
- Staining. Also carried out at will. Coloring pigment can be added to the laminating mixture.
- Application of a laminating composition.
- Coating hairs with a collagen mixture. It helps to keep fit.
The desired effect largely depends on the quality of the mixture that was used, as well as on the professionalism of the master. The composition for lamination should contain the main component - keratin, as well as vitamins, minerals and plant extracts, which contribute to nutrition and hydration. It is thanks to this vitamin mixture that even damaged, lifeless dry hairs become strong and elastic.
Is it possible to make eyebrow lamination at home?
Lamination of eyebrows at home is a completely affordable and justified procedure in the absence of finance for the salon. But do not forget that the effect after largely depends on the applied composition.
Mix for lamination can be prepared at home. Its basis will be food gelatin in a volume of 1 g.
Other components will also be needed:
- warm water - 50 ml;
- sea buckthorn or burdock oil - 1 tsp;
- liquid honey - 2 - 3 drops.
Gelatin must be dissolved in water in a water bath, stirring constantly so that there are no lumps. Then leave for 5 minutes. After, add the remaining ingredients, mix well. The mass should be viscous so that it is held in the hairs.
Note. Before using the composition, it is worthwhile to test for an allergic reaction. For this, part of the mixture must be applied in advance on the wrist.
The technology for laminating at home is identical to that in the cabin:
- Remove makeup, degrease eyebrows and skin around.
- Spread the mixture evenly with a cotton swab, remove excess.
- Wait for drying.
Of course, using home remedies for lamination, it is impossible to get the same effect as in the cabin. The result will not be so long.
To make the effect more noticeable and closer to the salon, you should buy a set for laminating eyebrows. It includes a degreaser, laminating composition, glue, coloring pigment, conditioner, as well as the necessary tools (substrates, curlers, tweezers, brushes).
The popular sets are Sexylashes, LVL, Yumi Lashes and Paul Mitchell.
Eyebrow care after
There is no special care for the laminated eyebrows to maintain the effect. On the first day after the procedure, you can not wet the hairs, use cosmetics or other means. On the second day you can wash, scratch your eyebrows, in general, everything is allowed to be done.
Overgrown hairs along the contour can be plucked, but it is better not to touch the arc itself, so as not to disturb the shape.
Common mistakes and consequences
If there are scars or bald spots on the eyebrows, then you should not laminate, since the defect will not be eliminated. It is necessary to resort to another salon procedure, for example, building or tattooing.
Lamination does not work miracles, it only enhances the natural beauty of eyebrows. After the procedure, they do not become much wider. If there is a desire to get beautiful voluminous eyebrows with the correct bend, then before laminating, do not get too carried away with plucking. It is necessary to make the desired shape. But if the eyebrows are thin, like threads, then after lamination the result will not be especially noticeable.
In order to maintain the desired shade of hair for a long time, it is necessary to carry out lamination after dyeing.
If you plan a trip to the sea, then the salon is worth a visit after returning home.
Another common mistake is the use of cosmetics to remove makeup after the lamination procedure. The fact is that most cosmetics contain chemicals that can level the effect.
If you have no contraindications to the procedure, then you can safely agree to it. The result will pleasantly surprise you. The hairs will become obedient, and the appearance will be more neat and attractive.
