Brow lamination has quickly become one of the most in-demand beauty treatments — and for good reason. It gives the appearance of fuller, more defined brows in minutes without the need for permanent treatments. But with any trend comes misinformation.

Let’s clear the air. Below, we’re breaking down six of the most common myths about brow lamination — and what’s really true.

Myth 1: Brow Lamination Damages Your Natural Brows

This is one of the biggest concerns people have — and while it can happen with low-quality formulas or overuse, professional-grade products and proper aftercare keep your brows healthy. Most modern lamination solutions are formulated with nourishing ingredients like keratin, peptides, or plant oils to strengthen and condition your brow hairs during the process.

Our tip: Always look for products designed to be gentle and hydrating, especially if you’re laminating at home.

Myth 2: Brow Lamination Looks Unnatural

A common misconception is that laminated brows are overly slicked, stiff, or dramatic. But brow lamination is actually very customizable. Whether you love a soft, fluffy shape or a sculpted arch, the technique is designed to work with your natural brow pattern and preferred style.

It’s not about changing your brows — it’s about enhancing them.

Myth 3: Brow Lamination Is the Same as a Brow Perm

While they sound similar, these treatments serve different purposes. A brow perm curls the brow hairs (and often uses stronger chemicals), while brow lamination lifts and sets hairs in place, allowing you to manipulate their shape for a fuller, more refined look.

Think of lamination as a brow "reset" — giving you a blank canvas to style however you want.

Myth 4: Brow Lamination is Only for Thick Brows

Not at all. In fact, brow lamination can work wonders for thin, sparse, or uneven brows. By redirecting your natural hair growth upward and outward, lamination helps fill in gaps, create symmetry, and give the illusion of thicker brows — no makeup required.

If you’ve been penciling your brows every day, lamination might be the game-changer you’ve been waiting for.

Myth 5: The Results Don’t Last

With proper aftercare, a brow lamination can last up to six weeks. The key is to avoid getting them wet for the first 24–48 hours, keep them nourished, and avoid over-touching. Using a hydrating brow serum can also extend your results and support hair health between treatments.

Myth 6: You Can’t Laminate at Home

While salon appointments are popular, at-home lamination kits have made the process easier and safer than ever — as long as you follow instructions and use high-quality products. Many customers now prefer doing it themselves for convenience, cost-effectiveness, and control over the result.
