What determines how long the effects of eyebrow lamination last?

What Affects the Longevity of a Brow Lift and Lamination?

A brow lift and lamination is a treatment that sets the hairs in place, giving them the desired shape and volume. The effect typically lasts 4 to 8 weeks, but its longevity depends on several key factors, including the natural growth cycle of the brows, their condition before the procedure, and post-treatment care.

1. Brow Growth Cycle and Durability of the Effect

🔹 Each hair follows its own growth cycle – Like scalp hair, eyebrows grow in three phases:
✔ Anagen phase (growth phase) – Hairs actively grow and are most receptive to styling.
✔ Catagen phase (transitional phase) – Hair growth stops, and the follicle prepares to shed the hair.
✔ Telogen phase (resting phase) – The hair falls out, making way for a new one.

🔹 Since eyebrow hairs do not grow at the same pace, new hairs gradually replace the laminated ones, which is why the effect starts to fade over time.

2. Condition of the Brows Before the Treatment

🔹 Hair thickness and structure –
✔ Thicker and stronger brows hold the shape longer because they are more resistant to external factors.
✔ Finer and weaker hairs tend to return to their natural shape faster, shortening the lifespan of the lamination.

🔹 Previous treatments – If the brows have been frequently subjected to chemical treatments (e.g., frequent tinting or bleaching), they may be more fragile and less able to retain the laminated effect.

3. Post-Treatment Care – Key to Long-Lasting Results

🔹 The first 24-48 hours after the procedure are crucial – During this period, the hairs set into place, so it’s essential to:
❌ Avoid getting your brows wet, including exposure to water, steam, and sweat.
❌ Avoid oil-based skincare products around the brows, as they can break down the lamination formula.
❌ Refrain from rubbing or brushing your brows to prevent disrupting the setting process.

🔹 Long-term brow care –
✔ Use gentle facial cleansers – Avoid strong detergents that can weaken the brow hairs.
✔ Apply nourishing serums and oils, such as keratin, castor oil, or vitamin-enriched treatments, to keep brows healthy and hydrated.
✔ Brush your brows daily with a spoolie to maintain their shape and prevent tangling.

4. External Factors That Can Shorten the Lifespan of the Effect

❌ Frequent swimming and sauna visits – Chlorinated water and high heat can weaken the brow structure and reduce the lamination effect.
❌ Exposure to sun and UV rays – Prolonged sun exposure can dry out the brows and cause them to become brittle.
❌ Using strong exfoliants or acids near the brows – These can strip away the lamination product and shorten the effect.

In our opinion

🔹 Brow lift and lamination last between 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the hair growth cycle, brow condition, and post-care routine.
🔹 Thinner, weaker brows may return to their natural state faster, while thicker hairs retain the laminated effect longer.
🔹 Proper aftercare is essential – avoiding water, heavy skincare products, and excessive handling of the brows can help maintain the effect for longer.
🔹 External factors like chlorinated water, sun exposure, and harsh skincare products can shorten the lifespan of the treatment.

By following the right care routine, you can extend the effect of brow lamination and enjoy perfectly styled brows for weeks! 💛✨
