Brow lamination aftercare depends on the professional system used for your treatment. With London Brow PRO, our waterproof lamination system, clients do not need to follow the traditional rule of keeping brows completely dry for 24–48 hours. If another lamination system has been used, always follow the manufacturer's and your brow professional's specific aftercare instructions.
Brow Lamination Aftercare: What You Need to Know
Good aftercare helps laminated brows stay looking groomed, conditioned and easy to style as the brow hairs move through their natural growth cycle. The most important rule is to follow the instructions for the exact lamination system used during your appointment rather than assuming all brow laminations require identical aftercare.
Can You Get Brow Lamination Wet?
If your treatment was carried out with London Brow PRO, the lamination system is waterproof. Getting the brows wet does not mean you need to panic or avoid normal everyday activities. After showering, cleansing or getting the brows wet, gently brush them back into your preferred lifted shape — our simple rule is “set when wet”.
Other brow lamination systems may require clients to avoid water, steam or excessive moisture for an initial period. If London Brow PRO was not used, follow the aftercare supplied by your technician and the manufacturer of that system.
How to Care for Laminated Brows Day to Day
Brush and Restyle Your Brows
Brow lamination makes the hairs easier to redirect, but laminated brows still need styling. Use a clean spoolie to gently brush the hairs into your preferred shape, particularly after washing your face or showering.
Condition the Brow Hairs
Brow lamination is a professional chemical treatment, so conditioning should form part of your ongoing brow-care routine. A dedicated brow serum or conditioning treatment can help keep the hairs feeling soft and cared for.

Be Gentle With Your Brows
Avoid aggressively rubbing, pulling or repeatedly manipulating the brow hairs. When cleansing or drying the brow area, gentle handling helps keep the brows looking neat and manageable.
What Should You Avoid After Brow Lamination?
Aftercare requirements vary by system, but it is sensible to avoid unnecessary friction and aggressive products directly on freshly treated brows. If your appointment also included waxing, tinting or hybrid dye, follow the relevant aftercare for those treatments too.
Strong exfoliating skincare or other active treatments around freshly treated skin may also have their own usage restrictions. Follow the product instructions and advice from your trained professional.
What If Laminated Brows Feel Dry or Brittle?
If your brows begin to feel unusually dry, brittle or difficult to manage, focus on gentle conditioning and speak to your brow professional before having another chemical treatment. The condition of the natural brow hair should always be assessed before repeating lamination.
How Long Does Brow Lamination Last?
Brow lamination results commonly remain visible for several weeks, but longevity varies with the individual's brow growth cycle, hair type, treatment and home care. As new brow hairs grow through, the laminated effect gradually grows out rather than disappearing all at once.
Brow Lamination Aftercare FAQs
Can I wash my face after brow lamination?
If you have had London Brow PRO, our waterproof system means you do not need to keep the brows completely dry after treatment. Gently brush the brows back into position after they become wet. If another system was used, follow its specific aftercare instructions.
Should I brush laminated brows every day?
You can gently brush laminated brows into your preferred shape with a clean spoolie. They are designed to be styleable rather than permanently fixed in one position.
Should I use a serum after brow lamination?
Conditioning is a useful part of ongoing brow lamination care. Choose an appropriate product designed for brow hair and follow its usage instructions.
Does every brow lamination have the same aftercare?
No. Formulations and professional systems differ, which is why aftercare should be based on the product used. London Brow PRO is specifically designed as a waterproof brow lamination system, so traditional blanket advice to avoid all water for 24–48 hours does not apply to London Brow PRO treatments.
Professional Brow Lamination and Aftercare
For beauty professionals, clear aftercare should be part of every brow lamination appointment. Tell clients which system was used, explain how to restyle and condition their brows at home, and assess brow condition before future treatments.
