Why People Are Choosing Brow Lamination Over Microblading

No Water: Anyone who has had their eyebrows microbladed will be aware that there are some specific aftercare steps, including no water. Brow lamination is similar. There should be absolutely no water on brows for 24 to 48 hours after treatment. The goal is to keep the moisture the artist put on brows in place for as long as possible to allow brows to properly set. "We tell clients no saunas, hot baths, steamy showers or splashing your face with water for two days," says Von Freudenberg. Wallace seconds this. The experts also recommend avoiding makeup for 24 hours, because you can't wash it off.

Brushing Brows: What you can do is brush newly laminated brows. In fact, Von Freudenberg gives clients a brow spoolie brush and instructs them to brush brows in the morning and before going to bed. She also suggests readjusting brows with the brush if they have been rubbed or moved. If eyebrows are left out of place, they could potentially set in the wrong position. #Awkward

Beware of High pH: As with the prep steps, Wallace suggests avoiding any skin care products with high pH levels.
