A unibrow (or eyebrow , called synophrys in medicine) is a single eyebrow made when two eyebrows meet in the middle above the bridge of the nose. Hair on the bridge of the nose usually has the same color and thickness as the eyebrows, giving the impression that they gather to form an undisturbed hairline.

Culture and beauty

Ancient Greece and Rome

In Ancient Greek and Roman culture, unibrows are rewarded as beautiful, desirable features worn by the most intelligent and lusty woman. In Ancient Greece, women used mineral powder or soot to paint their black eyebrows. The Greeks value purity, so women often leave unibrowsnya that are untouched or a little dark with black powder. Eyebrows are also part of elaborate beauty rituals in Rome, and like the Greeks, they love unibrow. Both poets and cultural writers describe women who perform fake unibrows to improve their appearance. It is made of dyed goat hair and affixed with tree sap.

Tajikistan

In Tajikistan, the unibrow is regarded as an attractive quality for both men and women. For women, it is associated with virginity and purity and, in men, virility. If there is no unibrow present, or if weak, it is normal for women to use kohl liner or modern kajal pen to simulate unibrow.

Iran

During the Qajar dynasty in Iran (1785-1925), the linked eyebrows were considered beautiful. Persian poetry praises abrou-ye peyvasteh or "continuous eyebrow", in men and women. That's compared to cupid bow, tense and ready to shoot his arrow. The classic shape - beautiful reverse ogee - can be seen in miniature and royal portraits.

Oman

Unibrow is considered a sign of beauty in Arab culture. Its popularity causes women to draw black lines joining eyebrows as part of their regular makeup to fake the eyebrows. A study found the prevalence of synophrys was at 11.87% in the Oman population.
