Tips and Guidelines for Brow Lamination and Lash Lift Treatments
BROW LAMINATION: WHAT TO DO & AVOID
What is Brow Lamination?
Brow lamination is a treatment aimed at shaping the eyebrows for a sleek, raised, and polished appearance. This process involves applying a specialized chemical solution to help 'perm' the brow hairs, leading to reshaping them to a sleeker and smoother form. Typically, the effects of lamination last between 4 to 8 weeks, and you can extend them with proper care.
Pre-Appointment Tips:
- Avoid this treatment if pregnant, breastfeeding, or using Roaccutane.
- Cease the use of retinol or Vitamin A products 3-7 days before.
- Ensure all eye area makeup, sunscreen, and oily moisturizers are removed pre-appointment.
First 24 Hours After Treatment:
- Stay away from water, sweat, and steam to prevent affecting the setting process.
- Refrain from touching the treated area, including facial massages or makeup application near the brows.
- Avoid sleeping face-down for the first 48 hours.
- When cleansing, avoid the brow area.
- After 24 hours, consider applying a nourishing serum like castor oil or Elleplex daily to maintain hair strength and prolong the tint.
Additional Recommendations:
- Steer clear of tanning products pre and post-treatment to preserve the eyebrow tint.
- Lamination treatments are best spaced every 10 weeks to maintain brow hair health.
- Opt for oil-free makeup remover after 24 hours to enhance the lamination's longevity.
Can I fill in my Brows Post-Lamination?
Yes, it's fine after 24 hours. Avoid this initial period to prevent irritation; afterwards, use suitable products like clear gels and fine pencils for a natural look. Regularly brushing your brows with a spoolie brush maintains the desired positioning, and brow soap can help set them firmly in place.
LASH LIFT: WHAT TO DO & AVOID
What is a lash lift?
A lash lift is a semi-permanent treatment that lifts and curls your eyelashes, creating a naturally elevated appearance. This procedure involves applying a solution to lift the lashes from the base, offering a refreshed look that can last up to 8 weeks.
Pre-Appointment Advice:
- Avoid the treatment if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on Roaccutane.
- Refrain from wearing mascara or false lashes on the appointment day.
- Cease using EyeEnvy a few days prior.
- Stop using retinol or Vitamin A products 3-7 days before the appointment.
- Ensure all eye makeup is removed before the session.
First 24 Hours After the Treatment:
- Avoid water, sweat, and steam.
- Refrain from sleeping face-down for 48 hours.
- Do not apply mascara for the initial 24 hours.
- Treat your lashes gently, avoiding rubbing or massages.
Following the First 24 Hours:
- Daily lash brushing is recommended.
- Apply castor oil or Elleplex conditioner daily to prevent dryness.
- Makeup application is now acceptable.
Note that lash lift appointments are typically scheduled every 12 weeks to maintain lash health.
