What makes the eyebrow on our face so special and unique is that it serves a specific purpose for us. Here we would like to share with you some crucial aspects of having eyebrows.

Why Do We Have Eyelashes?

In order to answer this question of why we have them, we need to look into the details of their importance. Eyelashes are considered a group of hair that grows above our eyes and hair plays a crucial role in our body's defense system.

It serves as a filter for dust particles so that it does not go into the eyes which will either block our vision or even worst cause unwanted damage to our sensitive eyeballs.

Do you also know that our eyebrows have sensory functions that can detect if an object is too close to our eyes thus making us blink automatically? For instance, when an insect flies close to our eyes, the hair will react by sending a signal to the brain which will cause reflexes to protect the eyes. All of this happens instantaneously.

The eyelashes also help in maintaining the moisture of the eyes so that it does not dry out and cause irritation. This is due to the unique traits of the eyes compared to other hair follicles in our bodies. The eyelashes will not turn white and it is the shortest hair that has the longest lifespan.

How About The Eyebrow?

Similar to eyelashes, eyebrows also play an important role in our body without us noticing. The main function of the eyebrow is to ensure that water and sweat will not flow into the eyes. The curvy shape of the eyebrow will help to divert the water to the sides so that it flows by the cheek and not through the eyebrows.

This situation is definitely helpful when someone is doing any form of exercise or walking in the rain. Even we would know how irritating it will be if anything goes into the eyes especially our sweat since it contains salt in it.

This means the eyebrow is one of the most important non-verbal communication tools in the human body. Aside from that, it also makes our whole face looks perfect since without it we would definitely look odd.

Why Do Some People Have Unibrow?

There are some people out there who would have their eyebrows connect together right in the middle which is called a unibrow. You might want to know why this phenomenon occurs in certain people. One thing for sure is that they do not have any special thing going on since everything comes down to their genes.

In some societies out there, they see the unibrow as something unique and as proof of their beauty. The people in Tajikistan especially are dying to have this single connected eyebrow. Unibrow has become a desire of the people of Tajikistan so many women are using specially made herbs named usma leaves which they apply to the middle of the eyebrow to encourage hair growth and make the eyebrows unified.

The leaves which have been ground will be left for 15 minutes to make sure that the unibrow will grow thick and dense.

The women of Tajikistan have different choices that may seem weird to other people. However, if we were to look at their actions, it is no different from women who love to color their nails or even wear lipstick. As people say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
