How InLei® Brow Bomber works
InLei® Brow Bomber is an eyebrow lamination system made in Italy, formulated specifically for brow hair. A treatment runs like this:
- Exfoliate with InLei® Soft Peeling and cleanse with an oil-free mousse.
- Prepare the hair with Saline Pre-Treatment.
- Protect the skin with Lady Shield barrier cream.
- Apply Brow Lift 1 for 6 to 12 minutes, depending on hair structure and porosity.
- Style the hairs with Mr. Fix water-soluble gel and a brow comb.
- Apply Brow Lock 2 for 5 to 8 minutes.
- Tint if needed, mixing InLei® tint 1:1 with Developer Cream 1.5%.
- Finish with Brow Bomber 3, a nourishing eyebrow butter.
The kit has enough product for up to 40 treatments and uses airless, zero-waste bottles.

Lamination, tint and architecture
Lamination alone changes direction, not shape. The best results come from mapping the brow to the face, removing stray hairs, laminating, then tinting. That’s why the InLei® Brow Bomber course covers three themes over two days: lamination, colouring and brow architecture. The kit is included in the course price.

Frequently asked questions
What is in a professional brow lamination kit?
A lifting lotion, a fixing lotion, a fixing gel to hold the hairs, and a nourishing aftercare product. Good kits also include skin protection and a written protocol with timings for different hair types.
How many treatments does the Brow Bomber kit do?
The InLei® Brow Bomber kit has enough product for up to 40 treatments. It uses airless bottles, so product is not wasted or oxidised.
Can I use a lash lift kit for brows?
It is not recommended. Brow hair is coarser and grows in a different direction, so brow systems are formulated and timed for it. Brow Bomber is made specifically for eyebrow hair.
Do I need training to use Brow Bomber?
It is a professional product. The two-day InLei® Brow Bomber course includes the kit and covers lamination, colour and brow architecture. Qualified brow artists can take the online conversion course instead.
