What is the use of Eye brows?

Dear IL friends,
We all are aware of eye and its unique purpose.But why do we have eyebrows?This thought crept me suddenly.On googling..The following is the reason given
"Eyebrows keep the perspiration from our forehead from running down into our eyes. The perspiration that forms when we get hot is trapped by the eyebrows and turned aside, and the moisture runs down our temples on the sides of our face, otherwise it would blur our vision and make us feel uncomfortable."

But are we 24x7 perspiring..?
During my childhood days I had scare eyebrows,which caused a major problem.Every one pointed fingers at my maternal side relatives for this, who had very thin eyebrows.My mom started doing various experiements for that.Every night I applied castor oil..which caused headache and small pimples all over my fore head..But the end result, i had reasonable hair in eye brows.My mom applies kajal..that is another story.
Infact a clear cut,thick eye brows add beauty to face.Some have eyebrows that meet at the center point..Eye brow threading is itself an art.A good one makes a dull face glow..else a total disaster.

In Bharathnatyam..Various expressions are showed with the help of eyebrows.There is one step where I had to rise one eyebrow after the other..I never got that.The only way was to make it up and down with the help of a beautician.

The immortal smiling beauty Monalisa has no eyebrows..But can we afford to be like her...Now tell me your interesting facts about your eye brows.

Thank you for sharing that fact about the eyebrow...now I remember reading that sometime during my school days.This is the beauty of God's creation. Everything has a purpose.

Coming to my eyebrows,that is the only thing I like about my face.I have never had to thread or shape it till date.HE had to compensate somewhere for not giving me the kind of nose that I wanted!Big Laugh

Hi supriya,

Good reason to google . I have thick eyebrows. Once in my school days my mom's sister learnt eyebrow threading with mine from then i had to got to parlour regularly. Because once you tend to shape it you will find growth of small hairs here and there. So now i am forced to visit a parlour once in a month. But after coming to US i had been to parlour only once. Scared to give my eyebrows to a new beautician coz many tend to thin it like a thread when they see such thick eye brows. Moreover didnt find any indian beautician nearby. And by the way my eye brows join mildly in the middle which i never tend to remove in any situation. I like that myselves. So once i sit in a parlour i will have 2 instructions, one is to remove only the extras and maintain shape instead of making it thin and secondly not to remove the hairs in the centre.

Sunitha..Glad to know that you have perfectly shaped eyebrows..Let me see your nose next time when we meet...

Cindhuja..That is the problem with threading..I have done threading only twice..Once during engagement and next for wedding day..It was good because it gave me a look that i was always in make-up..

Yes supriya rightly said, we feel fresh and fair once done with eyebrows...

Hi Supriya,

Eyebrows give a complete look to our face. Not googled or done any research about it yet ! :)

As far as my eyebrows are concerned, I've always had light eyebrows. Did threading for the very first time before my marriage. Then there was a long gap. After a few years, when there were beauticians nearby, used to go often.

After coming to US, it was quite difficult to find a beautician.

In California, many of the ladies have parlours in their own garage. So, used to go for threading to one of them. Or else, in one of the Indian parlours when we shopped for indian groceries.

Then fortunately, an Indian beauty parlour was opened in a city nearby. I went there regularly.

Even in Florida, I was lucky to find an Indian parlour who do threading.

As of now, in Virginia, two to three ladies have mini parlours inside their home- their rates also differ. So, no problem for threading here as of now.

Sorry for the big deviation...but that is the story of my threading ! Suffice it to say, I feel my face is dull when I've not done my eyebrows ! bonkSo got to have it done atleast once a month.

Once it's done, we feel fresh as though we've got a facial ! What do you think?
Hope you don't raise your eyebrows after reading my post !! Big Laugh

Cheers
Krithika

Dear Supriya..

I feel my face looking more good after threading Big Laugh.. But after coming KL..its pretty hard to find good indian parlours.... bonkbonk

Dear Supriya,

Eyebrows speaks a lot about eyes too. A neatly done eyebrows really lifts the face. I had heard during my school that it protects the eyes from dust (falling from above) and even the harsh sun rays i.e when the sun is too bright we try to frown the forehead, with this action the eyes also becomes small letting only little rays to penetrate.
