Brow Lamination FAQs




Is Brow Lamination Damaging To The Brows?

Brow lamination works by breaking down and reforming the disulfide bonds in the brow hairs so they can be reshaped. If not performed correctly, damage can occur. The result and condition of the client’s brows are largely in the control of the artist. Common causes of damage include:

  • Over-processing, which prevents bonds from reforming properly or breaks them down too far.
  • Incorrect timing or uneven application of products.

The inclusion of Elleeplex ReGen Next Gen, partnered with Elleebana’s lamination formula, offers moisture, nourishment, and support to the brow hairs during the process, helping to soften and protect them.

I’m Allergic To Lash And Brow Tints. Can I Have A Brow Lamination?

The ingredients most likely to cause sensitivities in lash or brow tints are not the same as those in lamination products. This means brow lamination can generally be performed safely, provided it is not immediately followed by a tint.

For clients with a history of sensitivities, always recommend reviewing allergy testing results with a dermatologist or allergist, and perform a mandatory patch test prior to treatment.

What Can I Do If My Client’s Brows Are Over-Processed And Damage Occurs?

Recommend Elleeplex Advanced Aftercare Serum for daily use. It conditions, nourishes, and also helps style brows while supporting repair and regrowth. Consistent use will aid in returning the brows to a healthier state.

What Can I Do If My Client’s Brows Have Not Laminated Enough?

Consider the following:

  • Check the expiry date and storage of your products.
  • Assess the client’s genetic hair structure or ethnicity - some brow types may require a longer processing time.
  • Ensure consistent placement of lotion and apply the appropriate stretch to the brow hairs.

Can You Fix Uneven Laminated Eyebrows?

Yes. Some clients naturally have a stronger follicular direction in one brow. If this is the case, note it in the client record and compensate at their next appointment by processing the stronger brow slightly longer.

Can My Client Wear Brow Make-Up?

Yes, but it is recommended to avoid brow make-up for the first few days after lamination. If brows are tinted, there is little need for extra make-up since clients should not wash or rinse brows for 24–48 hours post-treatment.

When Should I Rebook My Client For A Re-Lamination?

Brow laminations typically last 6–8 weeks, but this varies by individual brow growth cycles:

  • Fast regrowth: Some clients may need re-lamination in 4 weeks.
  • Average regrowth: Most clients will need it around 6 weeks.
  • Slow regrowth: Some may only require treatment every 8–10 weeks.

If performing a tint, a 4-week tint and tidy service combined with Elleeplex ReGen Next Gen offers a hydration boost that keeps brows looking healthy and polished between laminations.
