Key features / how it’s used (step-by-step highlights)
-
Preparation (double cleanse)
- Clean brows thoroughly to remove makeup and residue.
- Brows must be completely dry before starting lamination.
- Uses LashGlow shampoo/foam (noted as gentle; no sulfates/parabens; melts makeup).
-
Step 1: Brow lift (Mayami)
- Root-to-tip application with an even coating.
- No pre-glue chosen.
- Development time: generally 6–15 minutes depending on hair density.
- For the client example: 8 minutes total, checked at 6 minutes for malleability.
- Uses films/covering to reduce lifting/checking effort.
- Notes: too much film can tangle.
-
Reshape
- Uses a dental brush to brush hairs into a lifted, fluffy/sweeping effect.
- Continues brushing while the lift cream is being removed.
-
Remove lift + neutralize
- Removes all lift product using cosmetic buds.
- Neutralizes with a lightly damp cotton bud so hairs don’t continue developing/overprocess.
- Wipes off remaining moisture/residue with dry pads.
-
Step 2: Sculpt (Mayami)
- Applied with lip gloss applicators (preferred to avoid waste and constant re-application).
- Emphasizes full coating of every brow hair (“more is better”).
- Development time: matched to the lift time (8 minutes for the client).
- Removed following the hair direction; firm but gentle pressure.
-
Tinting
- Uses HD Brows tint + developer (Dark Brown).
- Advises tint color should be discussed with the client.
- Lamination can lighten/warm hair tones, requiring neutralizing even if the client doesn’t want darker results.
- Tint develops faster due to porosity—monitor closely.
- Tint removed in sections (front first) for a more natural finish.
- Uses tint stain remover (tiny amount) on a cotton bud to stop further development.
-
Wax + clean-up
- Adds a powder barrier under brows to protect skin before waxing.
- Uses warm cream wax with a manicure stick.
- Removes wax in the direction opposite hair growth, in three sections.
- Post-wax oil to soothe, followed by dry cotton pad clean-up.
-
Final Mayami step: Brow Essence (“oiling stage”)
- Applied as drops, then worked through with a micro/soft brush.
- Goal: flatten hairs smoothly into the finalized position so they set.
- Client aftercare: don’t get brows wet for at least 24 hours.
Pros mentioned
- Flexible correction for unruly/coarse brows.
- Creates brows that look thicker and fuller.
- Improves symmetry and overall texture/finish.
- Mayami system lamination described as lasting about 8 weeks on average.
- After tinting, results are described as flattering and more refined.
Cons / cautions mentioned
- Overprocessing risk if neutralization isn’t done properly (neutralize to stop further development).
- Tint can continue darkening if tint-stain remover isn’t used.
- Tint and development happen faster than normal because lamination makes hair porous—requires close monitoring.
- Brows must be fully clean and dry before lamination or results can be affected.
User experience notes (what the tutorial emphasized)
- Thoroughness is critical:
- Double cleansing
- Wiping dry
- Applying even coatings
- Application tools matter for control and consistency:
- Lip gloss applicators for Mayami steps to reduce waste and simplify handling
- Dental brush for shaping
- Pressure guidance:
- Firm but gentle during removal and set stages.
Comparisons made
- No direct brand-to-brand product comparison is made for the Mayami system.
- Only general contextual comparison is implied:
- Lamination makes brows more porous, so tint develops faster than normal.
