Is brow lamination waterproof? Not every brow lamination system is. London Brow PRO is our professional waterproof brow lamination system, developed so artists can offer a different approach to the traditional aftercare rule of keeping freshly laminated brows completely dry.
The important distinction is that waterproof aftercare is system-specific. Always follow the current instructions for the exact brow lamination system used rather than assuming the same aftercare applies to every brand or formulation.
What Is Waterproof Brow Lamination?
Waterproof brow lamination refers to a brow lamination system specifically formulated and instructed for brows to come into contact with water after treatment without relying on the traditional blanket rule that all laminated brows must remain dry for 24–48 hours.
London Brow PRO is designed as a complete professional waterproof brow lamination system. For the waterproof feature and aftercare guidance to apply, professionals should use the system according to the current London Brow instructions rather than mixing treatment steps or substituting products from another system.
Can London Brow PRO Laminated Brows Get Wet?
Yes. London Brow PRO is designed around waterproof brow lamination. Clients should follow the current aftercare supplied with the system and brush the brow hairs back into their intended position after they become wet — our simple “set when wet” principle.
This is different from giving universal advice that every brow lamination can get wet immediately. If another system has been used, follow that manufacturer's aftercare instructions.
What Does “Set When Wet” Mean?
Water can change the temporary position of any styled hair. “Set when wet” simply means gently brushing laminated brow hairs back into their preferred lifted shape after they have become wet.
It is an easy piece of London Brow PRO aftercare that helps clients maintain the appearance and direction of their styled brows between appointments.
Do You Still Need Brow Lamination Aftercare With a Waterproof System?
Yes. Waterproof does not mean aftercare is unnecessary. Clients should still follow the current instructions for their treatment, treat the brow hairs gently and style them appropriately after washing or getting them wet.
For a fuller explanation of post-treatment care, see our complete brow lamination aftercare guide.
Is Every Brow Lamination Waterproof?
No. Brow lamination formulas, protocols and aftercare instructions vary between manufacturers. A waterproof claim for one professional system should not be transferred to another.
If you are a brow professional, always work from the current instructions supplied with the system you are using. If you are a client, ask your brow artist which system was used before following advice found online.
Why London Brow Developed PRO
London Brow PRO was developed to give professional brow artists a waterproof lamination option and make aftercare more practical for everyday life.
London Brow develops and manufactures professional beauty products in England. Our approach is to provide artists with a complete system and clear, product-specific instructions rather than relying on generic brow lamination rules.
Can You Mix London Brow PRO With Other Brow Lamination Systems?
For predictable system performance, use professional brow lamination products according to their manufacturer's instructions. Do not assume individual steps from different systems are interchangeable or that London Brow PRO's waterproof aftercare applies when the complete treatment protocol has not been followed.
Does Waterproof Mean You Can Ignore the Instructions?
No. “Waterproof” describes a feature of the London Brow PRO system; it does not replace the professional treatment protocol or aftercare instructions. Professionals should use the current instructions supplied with the products, including processing, application and any patch-testing requirements.
Do You Need a Patch Test for London Brow PRO?
Patch testing should follow the current instructions for the exact products being used, together with your professional training and insurer requirements. Do not rely on historic blog timings or generic patch-test schedules.
