I didn’t think I needed to learn how to define my brows…until I visited Ottoman 3 Brow Bar and had my eye brows threaded. It’s quite an experience, apparently it’s the only way to get precision definition for one’s brows and having not really paid much attention to that area of my face I wondered what on earth they could or would do with them.
Eyebrow Threading starts with a simple cotton thread, ends held together on each hand & twisted at the middle a number of times. The twist creates two loops at each end, which is how the thread is held. The length of twisted thread is what pulls the hair from the skin.
Part of one loop and the twist is then placed on the skin against the direction that the hair is growing, in a straight line. The hand at the opposite end then expands the other loop, which moves the twist along the brow, removing the hair as it goes.
Then, the expert therapists use Ottoman 3 products to define or ‘fill’ your brows if, like me, you have gaps. I blame over plucking in the 90s, remember Kate Moss in the Calvin Klein campaigns? That was my beauty ideal once upon a time.
While I didn’t take photos of the threading process, I can share with you the tips I learned from my visit. The brow bar was a wonderful experience and the products I took home with me are really fabulous quality.
Here goes…
