If you've been frustrated by the way your eyebrows look, whether because of overplucking or simply genetic thinness, it's a good idea to seek professional help to achieve the best results. The right brow artist can make your eyebrows appear much thicker and fuller than they are in reality, which can dramatically enhance the appearance of your eyes, face and overall facial frame. The best option for achieving this is a treatment called brow lamination, also known as the "brow perm."
The process works by using a solution that breaks down the bond between each brow hair, and then reshaping them into their desired shape. The result is a much smoother and natural-looking brow, which can look up to 40% thicker than your natural brows. The procedure is quick and painless, but you should be prepared for some slight sensitivity to the chemicals used, especially near your eye area. A good brow artist will put on a barrier cream to protect the surrounding skin, and they should ask you to avoid wearing makeup for a day or two post-treatment.
After a few weeks, your new-found brows will begin to grow back naturally, but they may require regular maintenance to stay at their best. Using a nourishing oil like castor, avocado or argan oil will keep them hydrated and encourage hair growth.
You can even take the treatment a step further by dying your brows with either a chemical tint or henna, which will darken them for a more dramatic effect. The most important thing is to do your research before choosing a brow lamination professional, and to make sure that they are experienced in this revolutionary technique that can give you the fuller, more defined eyebrows of your dreams!
