- Your eyebrows allow for others to know what you are thinking through facial expressions. When you are surprised, you might notice that your eyebrows are raised, and when you are angry, they bunch together.

- Your eyebrows have a specific life-span of 3 to 4 months. During that time, each hair falls out and new growth fills in.

- Eyebrows are crucial for facial recognition. According to a study done at MIT, it can be impossible to recognize a person when their eyebrows are removed! Participants of the study only recognized about half of the faces shown in the study.

During the Renaissance, some thought that shaving the eyebrows off signified beauty and high class. In other ancient civilizations, eyebrows were made from mouse skin and “glued” on for a bushy look. Grooming of the eyebrows is not anything new, and eyebrow maintenance and grooming has been around for a long, long while!
