Often it takes a lot of time to apply makeup, especially if the corrections require eyelashes and eyebrows, because they can often stick to the sides and have an irregular shape. Recently, in many beauty salons there is a new service for lamination of eyelashes and eyebrows.

If lamination services for hair and eyelashes are already familiar to representatives of the beautiful half of humanity, then eyebrow lamination is a rather new procedure, which has already been used by a considerable number of beautiful ladies.

Although this cosmetic procedure appeared not so long ago, it has already gained considerable popularity among both young girls and older women. This is due to the fact that after carrying out this procedure, the face immediately changes, and the eyebrows look neat and well-groomed.

Let's try to figure out what is lamination and why the service so quickly was able to gain such popularity. The essence of the procedure is that a special composition is applied to the eyebrows, due to which the hairs become more healthy, while they look beautiful, well-groomed, have the correct shape.

The lamination process itself consists of three stages. At the initial stage, the removal of irregularities. Keratins are applied to the eyebrows - these are the peculiar molecules that make up the hair shaft. Damaged hairs after application of keratins are filled, as a result of which they are restored. The hairs become elastic, smooth and shiny.

At the second stage, hair pigmentation occurs. If the eyebrow is damaged and thinned, it begins to lose its original color. When the master is laminating, a pigment is applied to the hairs, which will give them brightness and saturation. When choosing a shade is to give preference to more natural colors.

At the third and final stage, the eyebrows are protected. Special keratins are applied to the hair, so that they form a very thin film that protects them from adverse factors. This film allows moisture to get inside the rod, but will prevent its evaporation from the inside. The film will protect the hair from mechanical damage, which will favorably affect hair growth.

As part of the means for this procedure, there are vitamin complexes, useful substances, essential amino acids that contribute to a more rapid restoration of the appearance of the eyebrows.
