Let's dive right in!
Preparation
Before starting the brow lamination process, it is crucial to properly prepare the brows and the surrounding area. By cleansing the brows thoroughly, you ensure that the treatment will be effective and long-lasting. I recommend using a gentle brow shampoo, such as the one from Lash Glow, which does not contain harmful ingredients like sulfates or parabens. This will prevent the drying out of the brow hairs and skin while effectively removing makeup residues. Double cleansing is necessary if the client has makeup on and through the brows, ensuring that all traces of makeup are removed.
During this preparation stage, it is essential to ensure the brows are completely dry before starting with the lamination process. This will ensure that the products used in the treatment can work effectively and provide the desired results. Once the brows are dry, it's time to move on to the next step.
Cleansing the Brows
To begin the brow lamination process, the first step is to apply the brow lift solution. This solution is designed to break down the bond structure in the eyebrow hair, allowing for easy manipulation and shaping. Start by applying the brow lift solution from the root to the tips of the brows, making sure to achieve a thorough and even coating. At this stage, it is not necessary to worry about the shape or the position of the hairs. Focus on getting an even coating and work as quickly as possible.
After applying the brow lift solution, cover the brows with a film to ensure the product remains in place and is absorbed effectively. The development time for the brow lift solution can vary depending on the density of the hair. Refer to the instructions provided by the brow lamination system you are using. In the case of the Mayami system, the development time for Natasha's brows is 8 minutes.
Once the development time is complete, it's time to check the relaxation of the hairs. Carefully lift the film and use a micro por brush to stroke the hairs gently. This will help assess how malleable the hairs are and if they are ready for reshaping. After checking, leave the lifting cream on for a total of 8 minutes.
Reshaping the Brows
To achieve the desired brow shape, a dental brush can be utilized in this step. The dental brush helps create a lifted sweeping effect, resulting in a flattering eyebrow shape. As you brush the hairs into position, the tool will also remove the brow lift cream. It's important to work the brow hair until it is in a lifted and fluffy state.
To ensure a clean and defined finish, any remaining traces of the lift product should be removed using flat-ended cosmetic buds. This step helps achieve a more polished look and ensures that no excess product is left behind.
Neutralizing the Brows
Neutralizing the brows is a crucial step to prevent overprocessing and ensure the brows set in their new shape. Take a lightly damp cotton bud and apply it across the brow shape, following the same direction as when removing the lift product. This step helps neutralize the brows and stop any further development.
Once the brows are neutralized, use a dry cotton pad to remove any remaining moisture or residue. This will prepare the brows for the next step in the lamination process.
Setting the Brows with Sculpt Lotion
In this step, we use the second solution of the Mayami system called "sculpt" to set the brows into their new position. Using lip gloss applicators for application, make sure to achieve a good coating of the sculpt lotion on every single brow hair. This step is crucial for setting the shape and ensuring the longevity of the brow lamination treatment.
Following the same development time as the brow lift solution, leave the sculpt lotion on for 8 minutes in Natasha's case. Once the time is up, remove the product using clean cotton pads, following the direction of the hair growth. Apply firm but gentle pressure to maintain the shape and avoid smudging the brow.
Tinting the Brows
Tinting the brows can help enhance the overall appearance and provide a more defined look. Before tinting, it is important to discuss with the client the desired color and consider any discoloration that may have occurred during the lamination process. Apply the tint from root to tip, ensuring accuracy to avoid staining the skin and achieving a messy finish.
Since the brow hair is porous from the lamination treatment, the tint color will develop faster than on normal hair. Keep a close eye on the shade's development to prevent over-tinting. Remove the tint in sections, beginning with the front part of the brow to create a natural finish. Use dry cotton pads to remove the remaining tint, applying gentle but firm pressure.
To prevent further tint development, use a small amount of tint stain remover on a cotton bud. This step is crucial in achieving the desired color and avoiding excessively dark brows. After removing the tint, use a dry cotton pad to remove any moisture or residue.
Waxing and Perfecting the Brow Shape
Waxing helps create a crisp and defined finish to the brow shape. Using a warm cream wax, apply a small amount just below the brow line towards the tail of the brow. Twist the wax stick to follow the natural curve of the brow and distribute the wax upwards for a clean finish.
Place small strips of wax paper over the wax, firmly holding the skin taut, and remove in the opposite direction of hair growth. I recommend removing the wax in three sections to ensure maximum precision and minimal discomfort for the client.
Nourishing the Brows
The final step in the Mayami system is to nourish the brows using brow essence or oiling. Apply a few drops of oil onto a lip gloss applicator and distribute it throughout the brow, ensuring all the hairs are coated. Use a micro p brush to work the oil into the brow, setting the shape in its final position. Apply firm but gentle pressure to flatly and smoothly position the hairs.
It is important to advise clients not to get their brows wet for at least 24 hours after the lamination treatment. This allows the brows to fully set and maintain their shape and texture. Finally, tidy up any remaining unwanted hairs by tweezing and clean up the area around the brows.
Final Touches and Results
After completing all the steps of the brow lamination process, it's time to admire the final results. Your client's brows should now look fuller, thicker, and have a lovely, flattering shape. With the Mayami system, brow lamination typically lasts around 8 weeks, making it a long-lasting and effective treatment option.
