Eyebrow Lamination
1. Immediate Post-Service Care:
Avoid Water and Steam: Refrain from getting your eyebrows wet, including steam from showers, saunas, or swimming, for the first 24-48 hours.
2. First 48 Hours:
Avoid Touching Your Brows: Resist touching or rubbing your eyebrows to allow the lamination solution to fully set.
Avoid Brow Makeup: Skip eyebrow makeup, including pencils, powders, and gels, for the first 48 hours.
3. Cleansing:
Use Gentle Cleanser: When cleansing your face, use a gentle, non-oil-based cleanser around the eyebrow area. Avoid harsh products that may strip the lamination.
4. Moisturization:
Apply a Brow Serum or Oil: If recommended by your technician, you may apply a nourishing brow serum or oil to keep the eyebrow hairs and skin hydrated.
5. Makeup and Brow Products:
Avoid Heavy Products: For the first few days, avoid using heavy or waterproof eyebrow products, as they can be challenging to remove without affecting the lamination.
6. Brushing:
Gently Brush Brows: Use a clean spoolie or a brow brush to gently comb through your eyebrows daily, ensuring they stay in the desired shape.
7. Long-Term Care:
Avoid Excessive Sun Exposure: Protect your eyebrows from excessive sun exposure. If you're going to be in the sun for an extended period, consider wearing a hat.
Schedule Regular Touch-Ups: Depending on the natural growth cycle of your eyebrows, consider scheduling touch-ups every 6-8 weeks to maintain the lamination.
8. Watch for Adverse Reactions:
Monitor for Allergic Reactions: Watch for signs of an allergic reaction, such as redness, itching, or swelling. If these occur, contact your technician.
9. Lifestyle Considerations:
Avoid Excessive Heat: Avoid exposing your eyebrows to excessive heat, such as from hairdryers or hot air from heaters.
10. Caution with Sleeping Accessories:
Be Gentle with Pillowcases: If possible, use a soft silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction on your eyebrows while sleeping.
Additional Tips:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to promote overall skin and brow health.
Avoid Rubbing Your Brows: Be mindful not to rub or scratch your eyebrows, as this can disturb the lamination.
Note: Always follow the specific instructions provided by your brow technician. If you experience persistent redness, swelling, or other unusual symptoms, contact your technician promptly.
Remember that proper aftercare contributes significantly to the longevity of your eyebrow lamination. Feel free to customize this aftercare protocol based on any specific instructions or recommendations from your brow technician.
