Your brows finally look full, lifted, and perfectly styled after a lamination treatment — but you might be wondering how long that polished look will actually last.
The good news? With the right care and realistic expectations, brow lamination can keep your arches looking flawless for weeks.
Here’s everything you need to know about how long brow lamination lasts and what affects its staying power.
Typical Lifespan of Laminated Brows
Brow lamination generally lasts 4–6 weeks, in line with your natural brow hair growth cycle. Most clients enjoy the fullest, most lifted look during the first two weeks, with results slowly softening after that.
With good aftercare, some people find their lamination holds closer to the six-week mark.
As it wears off, the change is gradual. You’ll notice less lift and definition as the hairs return to their natural direction and texture, rather than an abrupt shift.
This makes it easy to judge when it’s time to book your next treatment.
What Factors Influence Brow Lamination
The lifespan of brow lamination depends on several personal factors. Hair type plays a big role — coarse, fuller brows tend to hold shape longer, while finer or fast-growing hairs may relax sooner. Skin type also matters, with oily skin often causing the tint or lamination effect to fade more quickly.
Your lifestyle and aftercare are just as important. Frequent swimming, steam, or exposure to sun can shorten results, as can using oil-based skincare or strong actives like retinol near the brows.
Gentle cleansing, brushing brows into place, and sticking to oil-free products can help you keep that lifted look for longer.
Timeline: What to Expect Week by Week
Week 1
Brows look their fullest and most defined, with a sleek, lifted shape. This is when the lamination effect is at its peak.
Weeks 2–3
The results remain strong, though the brows may start to soften slightly as hairs settle into a more natural position.
Weeks 4–6
The lift and polish gradually fade. By this stage, most people notice their brows losing shape as new growth comes through, signalling it’s time for a touch-up.
After week 6, the lamination effect is usually gone, and your brows return fully to their natural texture and direction.
When to Get It Done Again / How Often to Re-Laminate
Most people re-laminate their brows every 6–8 weeks, which allows enough time for the hairs to complete their growth cycle and the previous treatment to fade. Spacing appointments this way helps maintain consistent results without overworking the brows.
You’ll know it’s time for a refresh when your brows lose their lifted shape, start looking uneven, or become harder to style.
Avoid booking treatments too close together, as over-processing can make brow hairs dry or brittle.
Giving your brows time to recover between sessions ensures they stay healthy while still looking polished.
