I am stubborn when it comes to changing trends.

I am stubborn in other areas of my life as well, but I don’t feel like talking about those.

There was a time when I swore I would NEVER wear skinny jeans. They were hideous and I couldn’t believe people were swapping their flared pants for these bad boys, like gross.

There was a time I swore I would never wear high waisted pants. How long do I want my crotch to look?!

Well guess what. Things fucking change. And you can’t really pinpoint the moment in time when they do. You can only fight it for so long and all of a sudden you’re strutting around in the mommest mom jeans you can afford. And NOT because you have become a mom, but because this is what the cool kids wear. And you like the way they look too, you sicko. That foot long crotch.

Being in the beauty business, trends are constantly changing and it is my job to keep up with them. Sometimes I don’t approve, but I can’t be the last one on the bandwagon so I always hop on.

So how did I feel when Brow Lamination became a thing? Not happy.

Brow lamination is the process of perming your brow hairs straight up. STRAIGHT. UP. It’s what all the cool kids are doing and apparently this is how we want our brows to look now.

You guys, I was trained years ago in brow perming and not once (until now) has a client ever asked for such a service.

Well lucky me, I always choose to be my own guinea pig. I always like to try my services on myself so I can speak from experience, and also because most of the services I offer are solely for my personal beauty “needs” (wants). You think I got certified in spray tanning for YOUR benefit? Ha.

So I had to “laminate” deez brows.

And when the process was all said and done, the verdict is: I LOVE THEM.

It’s a bit of a transition because they make your brows look hella thick. My husband is a little freaked out but he’s a boy and what does he know.

Moral of the story, we can fight change all we want but one day you will wake up and put your high waisted skinny jeans on one leg at a time just like the rest of us. You will tuck in your love handles and lay on your bed in order to do up all five hundred buttons starting from the bottom, and then you will head out the door to your brow lamination appointment.

I will be waiting for you.

And even though we look damn fine now and this is what we want, we can all laugh together years and years from now when we look back.

Like when I never used to fill my eyebrows in. What the fuck was I thinking? Then when I started to fill my eyebrows in. What the FUCK was I thinking? Then when I got them just right.. and now that’s not right anymore.

Beauty is sooooo fun you guys.

Anyway, this is trending now. And although I was not a fan yesterday, I am totally digging the brow lamination today.

I even filmed it for you. Head to my YouTube page (Brady Layne Beauty) to watch the process.

PS: If “they” want to bring back low rise jeans, we can all come together to put a stop to it, right? I fear for our future.
