Potential Dangers
The process involves chemicals on your skin and hair, so problems can occur, according to Wallace. If proper practices aren't followed, the process could lead to chemical burns. Overprocessed hair can become brittle and even fall out. This is why it's important to go to a licensed professional and always get a patch test to avoid allergic reactions.

Brow Lamination Maintenance
Appointments: Brow lamination can last for six to ten weeks depending on the hair cycle, per Wallace. It's actually OK to get a regular eyebrow wax or brow tint during those weeks to maintain the look of the eyebrow lamination. Keep in mind budgeting for brow lamination. Price varies by area, length of service (20 to 40 minutes) and quality. Von Freudenberg says that the price can go from $40 to $200 because it's so new and it may be hard to find a certified technician in your area.
At-Home: Continue with the habit of ensuring eyebrows are in the correct spot. "The [brow lamination] technique does not 'glue' hairs into place," says Von Freudenberg. "Hairs still move and you can still move brows around after two days [following the appointment]."
Some lamination products recommend using an oil, such as castor oil or coconut oil, every night to keep eyebrows healthy and moisturized.
