You’ve just had your brows done. They’re fresh, fluffy, and ready to turn heads. The next question is: how do you keep them that way?

Whether you’ve gone for brow lamination, tinting, or shaping, the secret to long-lasting results is what you do after you leave the salon. At our beauty salon in Scarborough, we always send you off with personalised aftercare advice, but here’s our go-to guide for keeping your brows looking their best in between appointments.

1. Keep Them Dry for the First 24 Hours

This is the golden rule. Water, steam, and sweat can undo all the good work we’ve just put in, especially after lamination or tinting.

Skip the sauna, steamy showers, and swimming.
Hold off on workouts for a day.
Avoid skincare on your brows until the setting period is over.

Give your brows a little breathing space and they’ll reward you with longer-lasting results.

2. Hands Off!

We know how tempting it is to touch them, especially when they’re freshly styled. But rubbing, scratching, or pressing against your brows can shift hairs out of place or shorten the life of your treatment.

Think of them like a new blow-dry for your brows. Treat them gently and they’ll stay looking polished.

3. Choose Brow-Friendly Products

Your skincare and makeup can make or break your results. Oils and harsh cleansers will strip tints and weaken the effects of lamination.

Instead, stick to:

Gentle, oil-free cleansers around the eye and brow area.
Skipping exfoliants and retinol near the brows for a few days.
Light conditioning serums to keep the brows healthy and strong.

Brows are hair, too. When you look after them, they’ll look after you.

4. Brush Them Into Place

Once the 24-hour mark has passed, brushing is your new best friend. A clean spoolie brushed through daily will keep them soft, fluffy, and styled.

For laminated brows, this step is especially important. It helps the hairs stay lifted and ensures they hold their shape until your next visit.

5. Hydrate and Nourish

Healthy brows = better results. Using a conditioning serum or nourishing oil (applied sparingly) helps strengthen the brow hairs and prevent dryness. Over time, this also means your brows will respond better to future laminations or tints.

6. Book Your Touch-Ups

Brows aren’t permanent, and that’s part of their charm. A tint will last around three to four weeks, while lamination holds for six to eight. The trick to keeping them consistently styled is booking your next appointment before you leave the salon.

We’ll guide you on the best timing for your growth cycle so your brows always look even, defined, and full.

Why Aftercare Matters

Skipping aftercare doesn’t just shorten the life of your brows. When you do so, it can also affect the health of your natural brow hairs. Taking a little extra care keeps your results sharp and your brows strong, so every appointment builds on the last.

We see aftercare as the finishing touch. A few small habits at home mean you’ll get the most out of your treatment and love your brows long after you’ve walked out of the salon.
