Beauty writer with naturally thick, unruly brows tests top home brow lamination kits to find the best alternatives to expensive salon treatments, which can cost from £55 per session. The pandemic popularised these semi-permanent, non-invasive brow perms, and now several affordable kits promise salon-worthy results at home.
Mylee's The Brow Wow kit tops the list for its strong hold and longevity, lasting up to four days. The vegan-friendly, cruelty-free set includes individual sachets with measured formula, three spoolies, three applicators, and a Y-tool. However, the holding gel sets quickly, requiring fast application, and can leave a tacky residue if not tidied. The Y-tool was less useful, and the kit lacks enough applicators for all three sessions.
Fleeky's Browlift Lamination Kit stands out for ease of use, gentle formulation, and three-day hold. One kit provides six sessions, costing around £4 per session when on sale for under £25. The compact set includes three solutions (two lamination formulas and an aftercare gel) that are non-irritating, plus three spoolies, three fine combs, three double-ended applicators, and a styling fix brow gel. A full session takes under 20 minutes.
Other kits tested include options from brands like Brow Code and Lamin8, which offer varying results. The Brow Code kit provides a natural lift but shorter hold, while Lamin8's formula is strong but requires careful timing to avoid over-processing. Overall, the best choice depends on brow type and desired finish, with Fleeky offering the best value and Mylee the strongest hold.
