Why Do We Have Eyebrows?

They are the most distinctive feature on our face. Eyebrows are our most expressive facial feature. They are a non-verbal way of communicating. Scientists are pretty sure that they are there to keep moisture out of our eyes when we walk around in the rain or to keep sweat out of our eyes.

i'm not really sure...i think everyone will look weird without eyebrow...i did spot a young guy without eyebrow in singapore once...and up to now, i still dont know whether is it the 'in' thing to go without eyebrow or he's ill. personally my eyebrow is quite ok..not much maintenance needed...i can pencil them when i have mood and go without it and people will not notice :D

Have you tried dabbing a little vaseline on them. I have heard this works. Also, why not try a professional at a beauty parlour and see what she says. I think thick eyebrows look good though. All the best.

my answer for that is becuz we have an eyebrow just to protect our eyes for some dust or something...

haha.....you got me! I never thought about the purpose of the eyebrows. I am sure it must have its own purpose more than expression to serve, but I really don't what the prupose is! For your question, I suggest you shouldn't take them too seriously. I don't think wax and pluck are good idea cause they must be very painful. Anyway, why are you so mad about you eyebrows?

I have those EXACT eyebrows lol.. i dont like them.. but .. hey i wouldnt shave them off i would look REALLY funny lol... And i think it would make me feel naked.... just thinking about it makes me feel weird lol... do what you want to do tho!!!

well each and every part of our body is a wonderful creation of god and has a reason behind it.....we should not question it?

Well, here's the reason we have eyebrows... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eyebrow The eyebrow is a bony ridge above the eye that protects the eye and bears a tuft of facial hair in most mammals. The main function of the eyebrows is to prevent moisture (mostly sweat and rain) from dripping into the eye (a critical organ). The typical curved shape of the eyebrow (with a slant on the side) and the direction in which eyebrow hairs are pointed, make sure that moisture has a tendency to flow sideways of the eyes, mainly along the side of the head but also along the nose. The protruding brow ridges of modern humans could also still play a role in this process. Eyebrows also prevent debris such as dandruff and other small objects from falling into the eyes, as well as providing a more sensitive sense for detecting objects being near the eye, like insects.

dont get too much conscious abt eye brows. because God gifted u beauty and made u perfect. so live a life with proudness ... no matter whatever ur looks are... consider that u r beautiful ..and u have to learn from life.. and perform good with ur acts to make urself look more beautiful to others!

Eyebrows are meant to keep sweat out of our eyes.. they're a barrier just like our eyelashes are. I think shaving off eyebrows looks terrible. I shaved off half an eyebrow once (by accident). People in school made fun of me, and so I told them I had some kind of cancer. LOL Ok, so that's not very funny..

hey etebrows are there to protect ur eyes from DUST

Have them waxed and shaped...

:) we do have eyebrows because it has a purpose..everything we see in our body has its own role. I do believe our eyebrows are responsible for protecting our eyes..like keeping away sweats..because our eyes are sensitive and eye lashes cannot protect our eyes alone..it needs back up..(i think so) :D

Oh no. You mean besides my close-up vision going at age 40, I have thicker eyebrows to look forward to at age 50? Bother! My eyebrows are not as thick as Brooke Shields, but I think they're pretty ugly. I have never plucked or waxed them though. I use a wet toothbrush each morning and shape them with the toothbrush. Now if I had a unibrow, I would probably ask for help at the salon. If you can afford it, electrolisis might be an option. The biggest problem with this though is that it's not really permanent. You will probably need to make several trips. Good luck - and remember beauty comes from the inside. :)

to protect our eyes.

I think its to prevent anything falling in your eye. I dont know. Sounds good right? I do pluck mine and then I make them alittle darker with a eye pencil, because mine are too light.

we have eyebrows .. because it protect us from sun.. u cant open ur eyes..in sunlight without eye brows:)....so its necessary ... n how ..to .. handle it.... go to parlors....they will help u out in a better way ..

these eye brows are really wonderfull they save our eyes from all the dust that is moving freely in air and it even increases beauty...

good question. well i dont know why we have them. but i think we would look really funny without them. i hate plucking and i need to wax but i just dont have the time to do that anymore. i also have thick dark brooke shields type eyebrows. i think penciling looks really fake so i just wouldnt do that. but waxing is my solution.
