How to Use BRIK & PEARL for Brow Lamination
BRIK & PEARL® is a professional lash lift and brow lamination system designed to give beauty professionals greater flexibility in reshaping, setting and conditioning the hair. Its versatile formulation allows artists to perform both lash and brow treatments using the same system, making it ideal for offering combination services.
The system includes Bond Flex™, Bond Lock™ and LASH LIFE™ Volume Filler, with each product playing a different role throughout the brow lamination service.
So, how does a BRIK & PEARL brow lamination work?
1. Cleanse and Assess the Brows
Begin by thoroughly cleansing the brow area to remove makeup, oils and residue from both the skin and brow hairs.
The brows should be clean and dry before treatment begins. This is also an important time to assess the condition, strength and texture of the brow hairs before selecting your treatment approach.
2. Apply Step 1: Bond Flex
Bond Flex is the first stage of the BRIK & PEARL brow lamination treatment.
Using an application brush, Bond Flex is applied evenly throughout the brows, ensuring the hairs are coated from root to tip. As the product processes, the brow hairs can be gently brushed into the desired direction and positioned into shape.
Bond Flex works to restructure the hair’s disulfide bonds, creating the flexibility needed to reshape and redirect the brow hairs.
Processing should always be selected according to the client’s individual brow hair strength and texture. Detailed processing guidance and hair assessment are covered within the BRIK & PEARL Online Course.
3. Remove Step 1 and Apply LASH LIFE as Step 1.5
Once Step 1 is complete, Bond Flex is carefully removed from the brow hairs and skin.
LASH LIFE Volume Filler can then be introduced as a Step 1.5 treatment before moving into Step 2.
At this stage, LASH LIFE assists with product removal while beginning the conditioning phase of the treatment.
This gives artists the opportunity to add hydration and conditioning between the reduction and setting stages.
4. Apply Step 2: Bond Lock
Next, apply Bond Lock evenly throughout the brow hairs using a clean application brush.
Once applied, carefully brush and position the hairs into their final desired shape. The brows are then kept securely in position while Bond Lock completes the setting stage.
Bond Lock works alongside Bond Flex to help reform and stabilise the hair’s bond structure, helping secure the brow hairs into their new position.
Once processing is complete, Bond Lock is carefully removed.
5. Tint and Shape
After the lamination stages are complete, brow tint can be applied if included in the service.
The brows can also be shaped using your preferred professional method to refine the final result and create greater definition.
6. Finish with LASH LIFE Volume Filler
To complete the treatment, apply a thin layer of LASH LIFE Volume Filler through the brow hairs.
LASH LIFE is rich in ingredients including hyaluronic acid, panthenol, peptides and conditioning actives, helping support hydration, conditioning and the overall appearance and feel of the hair.
This means LASH LIFE can play two roles within the same brow lamination service:
- Step 1.5, between Bond Flex and Bond Lock
- Finishing treatment, applied through the brows at the completion of the service
