An Honest Review of Eyebrow Lamination and What It Is
It's no secret that I'm eyebrow obsessed. Even though I spent the better part of the 2000s tweezing them into oblivion just like countless other tweens from that era, I'm now a bona fide bold-eyebrow enthusiast who won't hesitate to add new products to my insanely huge brow product collection. And with so many treatments out there these days, from waxing to microfeathering, there are endless eyebrow improvement options to address any and every cosmetic desire.
When I started seeing images pop up in my Instagram feed of perfectly flicked eyebrows that looked almost like they'd been smoothed down with a glue stick, my interest was immediately piqued. You see, I've got really thick, curly eyebrows that require a decent amount of work to achieve that effortlessly bushy look. At night while applying my skincare, I'd use the meaty part of my palms to push my brows up with serums and moisturizer and imagine what it would be like to have the hairs lie so flat all the time.Â
Turns out this is the exact result you get from eyebrow lamination. You've probably been hearing about this treatment, as it's gained immense popularity over the last few months, but what exactly is it? I tapped cosmetic tattooist and eyebrow specialist Aja Vines at Hyperreal Brows in Los Angeles to get the scoop on the brow treatment I'd been waiting for my entire life. Read on for a full breakdown of the eyebrow lamination process, including some unbelievable before-and-afters.
