What Should You Do After Eyebrow Lamination?

The most important aftercare rule after brow lamination is to keep your eyebrows completely dry for the first 24 hours. Avoid water, steam, sweat, and any products on the brow area. After that initial period, care is simple: brush your brows into place daily, avoid oil-based products on the brows, and skip exfoliating treatments on the forehead area for at least a week.

In Depth

Brow lamination uses a chemical solution to reshape the direction of your brow hairs. Just like a hair perm, the new shape needs time to set. Here is your complete aftercare guide:

First 24 hours (critical):

• Keep brows completely dry — no washing your face with water touching the brow area, no steam, no sweating
• Do not apply any products to the brow area — no brow gel, no serums, no moisturizer, no makeup
• Avoid touching or rubbing your eyebrows
• Sleep on your back to avoid pressing brows against a pillow

First 48 hours:

• Avoid saunas, steam rooms, hot yoga, and intense exercise
• No swimming in pools or the ocean
• Continue avoiding oil-based products on the brow area

Ongoing care (for maximum longevity):

• Brush brows upward with a clean spoolie each morning to maintain the laminated shape
• Apply a nourishing brow serum or oil (like castor oil) nightly to keep the hairs conditioned — this helps prevent dryness from the chemical treatment
• Avoid retinol, AHA, and BHA products directly on the brow area
• Use water-based brow products if you want to add color or hold

Proper aftercare extends your brow lamination results to the full six to eight weeks. Our team at Pia Esthetics Day Spa in South Tampa will walk you through everything after your appointment.
