Try a brow lamination from home with this $38 kit from Amazon

• London Fromson, brow specialist and owner of the London Fromson brow and beauty bar, walks us through using a kit for an at-home brow lamination.
• A brow lamination, also known as a brow perm or a brow lift, is a beauty service where the brow hair is chemically set in a desired brushed-up shape.
• The $38 Elevate the Beauty eyebrow-lamination kit is easy to use in four simple steps and works well in creating full and fluffy brows.

Following is a transcript of the video.

Nico Reyes: I was hoping that today we can try out a little bit of at-home brow lamination, which I know is a service you are very, very familiar with.

London Fromson: OK, yeah. So, it's basically a perm for your eyebrows. So, we use your own natural brow hair. We set it into place. We use a solution that kind of changes the hair elasticity and allows us to, like, manipulate it. So, when you were saying bald spots, it's really good to, like, cover bald areas. It makes the brows look a lot fuller, really fluffy. Or you can have them be more manicured too.

Nico: Since the stuff London uses in her salon is more of, like, professional stuff for professional use only, we're gonna be trying out some at-home brow-lamination kits from this brand called Elevate the Beauty.

London: We would start with the cleanser just to clean up anything that might be left over on your brows. We have a cleanser at the salon that we use, but sometimes I'll just use witch hazel too. It's a little bit nicer, and it's more soothing.

Nico: I actually don't smell anything.

London: Me neither. [laughs]

Nico: There's a stopper. That's probably why.

London: Yeah that's why. [laughing] I did the exact same thing. OK, so the lift solution is what is breaking down the protein, and it's breaking down the brow elasticity, but that's what allows you to reshape the brow. Push the solution up, but try and keep it really on the brow hair versus pushing it into the skin.

Nico: OK, so not too firm with that pressure.

London: Yeah.

Nico: OK.

London: Yeah. So, it said to leave it on for eight to 13 minutes. I think that sounds like a really long time.

Nico: Hmm, OK, so what do you recommend?

London: But I'm assuming that this is maybe not as strong as we would be using. So I'm gonna do eight minutes 'cause I have pretty fine brow hair. What is the texture of your hair?

Nico: I would say it's not, like, unruly. It grows out pretty straight. It's just, like, thick and coarse.

London: OK, so then maybe do a little longer, maybe do 10 minutes. You need your....

[Nico gasps]

Nico: Our little piece of Saran Wrap!

London: Yeah.

Nico: Finally. OK, let me cut off a little piece.

London: OK, so the point of the plastic wrap is to make the solution work quicker, and it's gonna help break down the brow hair quicker, 'cause you don't wanna leave that stuff on your brow for a really long time. So, the heat breaks it down, but you also don't want to... you're not trying to, like, push it onto the brow, because you don't want to move the shape. And just press around. And then you just wait. [laughs]

Nico: My piece is literally humongous.

London: OK, my timer's going, so I'm gonna take this off. And then you can use a Q-tip or a cotton round or whatever to remove the solution. OK, so I can already see in my brows that it lightened them. Which does happen. That's why we tint.

Nico: Got it, OK. Oh, no. [laughs]

London: Well, I don't have that either, so I'll just fill mine in. This fix solution is what is gonna neutralize. So that's kind of telling the brow how, like, this is your new form. Like, this is the shape that you hold from now until however long it lasts.

Nico: This really is just like a little, little baby perm for your eyebrows.

London: Exactly. I'm usually a little bit more generous with this, because you really want it to neutralize anything that you missed. Again, kind of placing versus, like, pushing it into the skin. You wanna leave this on for the same time that you left the previous stuff. [upbeat music] Wow, I'm actually shook. [laughing] I'm not kidding.

Nico: Listen, nothing is gonna replace your own work, but I'm glad, like, you actually -

London: I don't know, I think that just did. [laughing] And then the final step is the nutrition, which is just this. So, yeah, the nutrition step you definitely wanna do, because the brows can get a little bit dry and they can feel a little bit brittle. So you want to make sure that they are staying nourished, and as time goes on, if they still feel a little dry, you can continue to use this. Oh, it actually smells quite nice.

Nico: Ooh.

London: Oh! You know what it smells like?

Nico: What?

London: It smells like the La Mer oil.

Nico: Oh, my goodness. Listen. If you think I know what a La Mer product...[laughs] If you think I even know what a whiff of La Mer smells like, you're wrong. Wow. I have to say, I am loving the results.

London: OK, I'm not gonna lie. I love it too! [laughing]

Nico: It's really nice! I'm, like, looking at my other brow, and I'm like, "gross." And this one is like, "Who is she?" Oh, my God, OK. We did it! It actually worked. Not bad. But, again, go to a professional if you want -

London: I don't know. [laughing] No, I'm kidding, please do. Don't do this really regularly, actually. I know I say that I do it every four weeks at the salon, but 'cause I had someone come in who had done this at home, and they really liked the results. And then they were like, "So then I did again two weeks later!" I'm like, no. You want to give your brows time to grow, and don't be overdoing it and burning your brows off. And when you first get it done, you don't wanna get them wet for the first 24 hours.

Nico: Got it. So I gotta be like this in the shower.

London: Like Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde." You know, it's a perm. [laughing]

Nico: With your eyebrows.

London: Yeah.

Nico: "You got in the shower?" [laughing] Hi, it's Nico from the future. I just wanted to pop in and say that this kit did the job, but it is definitely not a professional service. I would say that my brows started to go back to normal a week and a half into doing it. I still think the results are still really great. I loved how my brows look, loved that I didn't have to fill them in or put brow gel or anything like that. So that was nice. But just wanted to let you know. OK, bye.
