Hey everyone!
It’s been a long time since I was here. I’m coming back with boosted energy! I’ve been preparing this post for a long time, and have done lots of testing. I believe many of you will find it useful. Today we’re talking about one of the hottest brow trends, that is brow lamination at home. Do you have bushy brows like Cary Delevingne or barely-noticeable, skinny brows that prove unmanageable? Either way, eyebrow lamination is a great way to define their shape and give them a brushed up look that lasts, regardless of the thickness of eyebrows. I’ve tested 5 popular kits for brow lamination at home. Keep reading if you want to know what they do, which one is best and what results you can count on!
Brow Lamination at Home; Questions and Answers
1. What is eyebrow lamination?
Eyebrow lamination is a modern brow styling method that involves lifting the hairs and holding them in the desired position for a long time. The process uses the properties of thioglycolic acid which opens the hair cuticles to put brows into desired shape easily. Then, special formulas are applied to make brow lamination results last for a few weeks. This beauty treatment has become extremely popular because it produces natural-looking, subtle results that stack up better than the overly dramatic arches that used to be the hottest trend on social media. Eyebrow lamination can be done both at the salon and at home, using special brow lamination kits including all essential products and accessories. The whole process takes little time and is easy. You can do it pretty fast.
2. What are the results after brow lamination at home?
The result is noticeable immediately! Above all else, eyebrow lamination lets us put the brows into the exact position we want and change their shape according to preferences. It may even help camouflage imperfections such as sparse brows, asymmetry or brows lacking volume. Thanks to brow lamination, brows are softer, smoother and shinier. They also appear thicker, darker and even twice denser. Everyday brow routine becomes fast and easy cause you only need to comb through the brows to make them look their best!
3. How long do brow lamination results last?
Depending on your brows and the quality of used products, effects after brow lamination will last from 3 to even 8 weeks.
4. Is brow lamination bad for brows?
Eyebrow lamination is an advanced brow treatment that precisely shapes the brows putting them into the desired position. If brow lamination is done correctly with suitable products, then it shouldn’t cause damage to brows or skin. However, it is super important that you read the directions for use carefully, follow the precautions, and wait for the next lamination for the proper amount of time.
5. What brow lamination kit to pick?
At-home brow lamination kits are a great alternative to expensive, time-consuming in-salon treatments. I recommend DIY lamination to everyone wanting lovely, neat brows. Most at-home brow lamination kits are easy to use and affordable so go for one if you want to try the treatment comfortably at home plus save money. There are tons of products on the cosmetic market, and your final pick depends on preferences and expectations. For the past months I’ve been testing various brow lamination kits so please keep reading my ranking of top products!
I Rank the Best At-Home Brow Lamination Kits
#1 Nanobrow Lamination Kit
Test results:
Nanobrow Lamination Kit is a professional brow lamination kit and one of the most popular picks. It is definitely my number one! Why? I can do brow lamination like a pro at home. It’s the best option for those who like comfortable and time-saving solutions as well as brows as if done by a pro. The results speak for themselves. Eyebrows look thicker, gaps are less noticeable, and the arches are fuller and more symmetric. What’s more the brow lamination kit is more comfortable to use and doesn’t require special skills or experience. In a short time we can get voluminous, neat and defined brows that stay flawless for many weeks. My brows looked lifted and fuller for six weeks and a half! I couldn’t wait to do the next treatment! The process takes only thirty minutes and produces wow results. I also like to use Nanobrow eyebrow serum for extra conditioning effects; you can find its review on my blog. That’s the best product for lamination aftercare and additional nourishment. All in all, searching for the top-quality lamination product at an affordable price, you can be sure the Nanobrow Lamination Kit will prove success. Buying just one kit, you can perform 10 laminations!
Benefits:
- Affordable price and cost-effectiveness
- Top quality
- Eyebrows look twice thicker and fuller
- Eyebrows have a subtle, healthy shine
- The kit is enough for over 10 laminations
Downsides:
- The product was delivered after a few days
Rating: 5.5/6
#2 RefectoCil Brow Lamination
Test results:
This one is a very good brow lamination kit, cost-effective, and easy to use. I wish it was cheaper but I decided to buy it anyway and test it for you! 🙂 After unpacking I didn’t like it that the formulas came in uncomfortable bottles and it proved hard to measure out the optimal amount during application. With this kit, we can do both brow and lash lamination. I don’t like lash lifts so I tested the set on my brows only, and I liked the result; brows looked fuller, slightly darker, hydrated and healthier. The effect was supposed to last for around six weeks but I noticed it faded after just four and a half. The set is enough for six to eight uses, depending on the thickness of brows (and provided that you use the kit for brows only).
Benefits:
- Cost-effectiveness
- Lots of positive reviews
- Noticeably fuller-looking brows
Downsides:
- High price
- Uncomfortable bottles and unpleasant design
- Results don’t last for as long as promised by the manufacturer

#3 SASSY SAINT Brow Lamination Kit
Test results:
I bought this brow lamination kit because I’ve been reading many positive reviews. I liked it from the very first use, but some things need improving. Let’s talk through the good sides first. After brow lamination, eyebrows were brushed up and had a nice healthy shine. I also liked the consistency of the laminating formulas. On the other hand, I wish the results lasted longer. The effect after brow lamination with this kit lasted for around three weeks. I hoped it would be at least a month. At the same time, it’s a very easy-to-use brow kit taking little time. The product comes with clear instructions and there’s also a video tutorial available. With one set, we can do around six laminations.
Benefits:
- Easy to use
- Good for defining the brow shape
- Formulas have good texture
- Brows look healthier
Downsides:
- Not really cost-effective
- Results should last longer
- Price

#4 Thuya Brow Lamination Kit
Test results:
Recently I’ve tested the Thuya Brow Lamination Kit, that is my newest purchase. To be honest it takes more experience but you may like the result. It wasn’t easy but I managed to create the desired brow look. If you’re using this brow lamination kit as a beginner, then I recommend reading the directions carefully and staying patient. The results will be good only after following the steps as instructed but leaving the formulas slightly longer; they may need more time to produce effects. If you’re a brow lamination beginner, then I recommend easier-to-use brow kits. If you’re more experienced, then this one may prove worthwhile.
Benefits:
- Cost-effective
- Nutrient-rich formulas
Downsides:
- Not good for beginners
- Formulas come in uncomfortable containers
- Formulas need more time to be effective

#5 Miya Signature Brow Lamination Kit
Test results:
The manufacturer promises we can give up on brow pencils and brow gels thanks to this brow lamination kit. Eyebrows look very elegant after brow lamination but it’s a short-lived effect… For me the result lasted around three weeks. I followed the steps carefully so I guess I may have put too little product. This brow kit is enough for only four to six laminations and has a short expiry date so it must be used up fast. It’s not as cost-effective as I thought but it’s noteworthy for sure. A lightweight serum is an extra product that we can apply on brows after lamination.
Benefits:
- Modern design and pastel colors
- Eyebrow serum included in the kit
- Three types of applicators
Downsides:
- Short expiry date
- Does not pay off
- Short-lived results
Rating: 3/6
Brow Lamination Aftercare. What Should We Do?
To enjoy the longest-lasting results after eyebrow lamination at home, we need proper aftercare. We should remember that eyebrow lamination requires some eyebrow maintenance and skin care, which is why it’s recommended to use – after 24 hours from the treatment – mild face oil every day to nourish the skin. Special eyebrow serum and nutrient-rich conditioners are also useful. For 24 hours after the treatment, you need to avoid wetting the brows, going to the swimming pool, sauna or gym. Right after lamination, don’t touch the brows and don’t use makeup. You can comb through brows gently though.
Summing up, if you’re searching for a good at-home brow lamination kit, then hopefully my roundup will make the decision easier. Eyebrow lamination is a simple way to give your brows a new beautiful shape, bolder color and manageability. Don’t you want to wake up with flawless brows every day?
Let me know which brow lamination kit you’re gonna try!
