Key takeaways
- If a brow lift doesn't last long, the hairs probably haven't fully absorbed the treatment. In that case, you can repeat the treatment. If the hairs are crisscrossed, they may have overlapped under the film. If they are curled, condition them first and wait 4 to 6 weeks.
Did the brow lift only last a week, are the hairs sticking out in all directions, or does one brow look different from the other? This is almost never due to the product alone. Here you will find the most common causes and what you can do about them.
The brow lift didn't last long
Normally, a brow lift lasts 4 to 6 weeks. Exactly how long it lasts depends on the structure of the brow hairs, which varies from person to person.
Cause: Brow hairs can be very stubborn. Since the lotions are gentle, the hair may not always take the effect immediately. Hormonal changes can also cause the brows to become weaker and respond less effectively to the treatment.
Solution: In this case, the brow lift can simply be repeated.
The hairs are sticking out in all directions
After the treatment, the brows are crossed or sticking out in different directions.
Cause: The hairs may have overlapped under the stretch film, or the lotion was applied too far out.
Solution: A second treatment usually fixes the problem.
How to prevent this: Shape the hairs cleanly before applying the lotion and secure them one by one with the Browlift Glue. Apply the stretch film tightly so that the hairs do not shift underneath.
Only one brow is twisted
Cause: Often, residue from lotion, dye, or glue has remained and is causing issues. It may also be that the person sleeps on one side. Then the hairs on that side become more distorted.
How to prevent this: Completely remove lotion, dye, and glue after the treatment with a damp cotton pad.
The treatment didn't work at all
This happens very rarely. It may be that the hair structure cannot be changed with the mild lotions. However, repeating the treatment is often enough.
Repeat or wait?
- The hairs barely responded: You can repeat the brow lift.
- The hairs are frizzy or wavy: This is a sign of damaged hair. In this case, you should first care for the brows and wait 4 to 6 weeks before trying a new treatment. You can read what you can do in this case in our article Why do eyebrows curl after a lift?
Checklist for a long-lasting brow lift
- Analysis: Before each treatment, check the thickness and growth direction of the hairs, as well as the skin. Fine hairs need a shorter processing time than thick ones.
- Processing time: The lotions act for a maximum of 8 minutes each, and the cystamine brow lift for a maximum of 7 minutes. Check during the treatment whether the lotion has already worked.
- Combing: Comb the hairs in their natural growth direction at an angle of about 60 degrees, not 90 degrees. Do not pull or press too hard.
- Lotion on the skin: Apply as little lotion to the skin as possible and remove it immediately with a cotton swab.
- Residue: Completely remove lotion, dye, and glue after the treatment.
- Care: Finally, care for the brows, for example with the Double Filler.
