Here’s everything you need to know to make the results last.

If you’ve just had your brows laminated (or you’re thinking about it), welcome to the world of fluffy, lifted, “I-woke-up-like-this” brows. Brow lamination gives your brows a fuller, more defined shape — but the secret to keeping them looking soft, shiny and perfectly styled comes down to good aftercare.

The First 24 Hours Are the Most Important

Your brows are still settling into their new shape, so this is the time to keep them clean, dry, and makeup-free.

For the first 24 hours, avoid:

  • Water or steam (no hot showers, saunas, or sweating)

  • Touching, rubbing, or sleeping on your brows

  • Applying makeup or skincare over the brow area

  • Heat styling tools near your face (hair dryers, steamers)

  • Swimming or humid environments

Let your brows “set” first — this helps lock in the lift and shape.

Keep Your Brows Hydrated

After brow lamination, the hair needs moisture to stay healthy and flexible. Think of it like conditioning your hair after a blowout.

From day 2 onwards:

  • Apply a nourishing brow oil or keratin conditioner daily

  • Brush your brows gently into place with a spoolie

  • Avoid harsh exfoliants on the brow area (AHA/BHA/Retinol)

Hydration keeps your brows soft and prevents dryness or brittleness.

How to Style Your Brows After Lamination

Once the initial 24-hour period is over, you can enjoy your brows fully.

Here’s how to get the best out of them:

  • Brush them upward and outward to create that fluffy look

  • Use a clear brow gel if you want extra hold (optional)

  • Keep the skin around your brows moisturised

  • Be gentle when cleansing around the area

Your brows should instantly fall into place when styled — that’s the beauty of lamination.

What to Avoid Long-Term

To maintain your results and protect brow health:

  • Avoid excessive sun exposure on the brows

  • Avoid using oils or heavy creams directly before bed (they flatten the lift)

  • Don’t use eyebrow tinting or henna immediately after lamination

  • Avoid picking, rubbing, or over-touching the brow area

Laminated brows are easy to care for, but they still need some love!

How Long Do Results Last?

Brow lamination typically lasts 6–8 weeks, depending on your brow hair and aftercare routine. Keeping your brows moisturised and avoiding harsh products will help extend the longevity of your lift.

If you want consistently fluffy, groomed brows, you can book your next lamination once your brow hairs return to their natural texture.

When to Book Your Next Brow Lamination

You’re ready for your next session when:

  • The lift has relaxed

  • Brow hairs feel soft and back to their natural state

  • Styling becomes more difficult

Regular laminations will give your brows a naturally fuller appearance over time.

Final Thoughts

Brow lamination is one of the easiest ways to get fuller, fluffier, more defined brows with minimal effort. With the right aftercare, your results can stay smooth, lifted and beautiful for weeks.
