Will our collective obsession with our eyebrows ever go away?

In short, a perm is what it takes.

Brows have always been something I feel really “completes” my face.

With brow lamination, they could look power-puffed 24/7 for six-to-eight weeks straight.Sweet.

The next day, I was in the clear.

Pre-treatment care is essential if you love afake tan, maybe skip it before getting your brows laminated.

Besides that, there are skin concerns to consider, too.

She says to pay special attention to theskin careproducts you’re using.A more serious side-effect to consider?

The lamination chemicals getting in your eye and “potentially [causing] irreversible damage.”

And then still, you may accidentally over-process your brow hairs, which can damage them.

The brow lamination process

The process itself is very easy and takes less than an hour.

First, my brow hairs were brushed upwards with an adhesive.

That was left on for 10 minutes.

Water will release the chemical hold of the perm, wilting your brows back to gravity’s will.

This is really the only annoying part of the process, but it’s worth it!

I washed my face very strategically that night with a washcloth and hoped for the best.

After two weeks, my brows were still reaching for the sky.

It’s not like they were in a perma-scared-stiff position.

Sometimes they looked a bit janky when I woke up since I’m side-sleeper that definitely smushed them around.

But a swift brush-up with a clean spoolie brush did the trick and my brows were once more power-puffed.

Is brow lamination worth it?

For less than $100, I’d definitely do this again.
