Brow Troubleshooting 101

Nov 13, 2025

Why didn't the brows laminate enough?

  1. Check your expiration date of product and location of where the product has been stored.
  2. Consider hair type! Some genetic structures need longer processing time or added heat.
  3. Consistent placement of the lotion. The coating should be a milky thick consistency that coats each and every hair evenly, patchy solution placement can result in an uneven result.
  4. Appropriate amount of stretch applied to the brow hairs. 

Why does one brow laminate more than the other?

Genetics play a role: 

  • Some clients have a stronger follicular direction on one brow (like a cowlick).
  • Adjusting timing on the stronger side

Timing is everything:

  • Even 30-60 seconds difference changes results.
  • Apply lotions quickly + evenly to both brows.

Check your placement:

  • Symmetry matters.
  • Use brow mapping or step back and review your work from the front.

Brow troubleshooting starts with knowing what to look for.
