Why People Are Choosing Brow Lamination Over Microblading

Von Freudenberg says that the first step is cleansing brows to remove any makeup. Next, a lifting solution is applied. This can be left on between six to ten minutes, depending on the hair texture of eyebrows. The solution will enable the brow technician to sculpt brows into the desired shape. Then a second solution will be applied for approximately the same amount of time. This "fixing" solution sets hairs in place. Von Freudenberg likens the steps to a perm for brows.

After that, an eyebrow tint can be added, if needed. And the brow artist can trim any long hairs that affect the brow shape. The final step of brow lamination is the application of a superhydrating solution. This moisturizes and seals hairs. It's the step that really gives the treatment its name. The solution restores the health of eyebrows and gives them a very shiny finish, according to Wallace.

Von Freudenberg says that the process can last between 20 to 45 minutes. It gets up to 45 minutes if the brow artist does a tint and shaping, according to Wallace.
