The steps of Brow Lamination with InLei®

We regularly receive questions about the steps of Brow Lamination with InLei®. These steps can always be downloaded with the products themselves, but we also want to elaborate on them in this blog and explain them clearly.

1. Analyse the eyebrows

Check the eyebrows and the surrounding skin for any signs of conditions such as itching, redness, sores, or irritation. These are contraindications and must not be present before you start the treatment.

2. Cleanse the eyebrows

Cleanse the eyebrows and the surrounding skin with the Delicate Foaming Cleanser from InLei® and then use the Saline to properly degrease the eyebrows. Allow this to dry completely. Saline ensures that all sebum is removed from the hairs, which is essential for an optimal treatment result.

3. Brush the eyebrows into shape

Comb or brush the eyebrows in the desired direction. The hairs should never be angled more than 65 degrees relative to the natural hair growth. This is important for the following steps, as otherwise you risk breaking the hairs.

4. Apply InLei® Brow Lift #1

Apply InLei® Brow Lift #1 in an even layer over the entire eyebrow with a clean brush or applicator. Ensure that all hairs are completely and evenly covered with the lotion.

5. Processing times

Fine hair: 4–6 minutes
Medium-thick hair: 6–8 minutes
Thick hair: 8–10 minutes
Extremely coarse and thick hair: 10–12 minutes

During the processing time, you can check whether the lotion has worked sufficiently. The hairs should become super flexible and bend easily. If they still resist bending and feel just as coarse as before the treatment, the product needs more time. After the processing time, remove all residue with a dry cotton pad.

6. Shape the eyebrows (if necessary)

Shape the eyebrows with InLei® Mister Fix and a comb or brush. Make sure you do not create gaps in the eyebrow and change the hair direction carefully. Never bend the hairs more than 65 degrees relative to the natural growth. For coarse eyebrows or eyebrows with multiple hair directions that do not stay in the desired position on their own after lotion #1, we recommend using InLei® Mister Fix. This is a special adhesive suitable for use on the skin that helps to fix the eyebrows before you apply step 2. A thin layer is sufficient. This step is therefore not always necessary. 

7. Apply InLei® Brow Lock #2

Apply InLei® Brow Lock #2 in a thin layer in the same way as Lift #1. Allow the product to work for half the processing time of the first product, plus 2 minutes. Remove the product afterwards with a slightly moistened cotton pad.

8. Dyeing the eyebrows

Mix the tint in a 1:1 ratio with Developer Cream 1.5% (5 Vol.) cream oxidant. Apply the dye in the desired shape and leave it to work for 6 to 10 minutes. The tint develops faster during this treatment than when used as a standalone treatment. Pay close attention to the processing time; it is shorter than usual. Then remove it with a moistened cotton pad. Keep in mind that the dye develops faster after a brow lamination, so the processing time may be shorter than usual.

9. Remove excess hairs

Remove excess hairs with wax or tweezers for a clean finish.

10. Care with InLei® Brow Bomber #3

Comb the eyebrows with a brush and apply a small amount of InLei® Brow Bomber #3 with a brush. Leave it to work for 5 minutes. The product does not need to be removed. If too much product has been applied, you can carefully blot off the excess with a tissue. Important! A nut allergy is a contraindication for the final step, Brow Bomber No. 3.
