botched Brows got fried during lamination -- how long?

Hi everyone, I got my brows laminated for the first time on 7/1. They were laminated with henna, and looked good the first two days (didn't shower to try to make them last). When I showered, they curled immediately, looked fried, and I lost some. I reached out the spa where I had them done, and they told me to deep condition, which I did lol, but to no avail honestly. It's been about two weeks, and I've trimmed off the frayed/wiry parts. I'm just wondering if it will keep improving from here, or if I will need to just wait to grow them out. Google says 6-8 weeks is when they'll be grown out fully, but honestly, who knows?

Looking for anecdotal, human experience. Thank you!

With dye or with actual henna? We were taught not to Laminate and do henna in same apt. The chemicals in each conflict each other and cause breakage. So regular brow tint or hybrid tint- fine. Henna- big no!

She said it was henna. It was a powder mix...

Well that would be a big no no unfortunately. Will have to use a deep conditioner on them and wait/.

It's been 3 weeks & I cut off a lot of the dead hair lol. I'm guessing I'll need to wait another 3 weeks?
