Eyebrow - a trend against outdated standards of beauty

The "monocle" is the almost continuous strip of hair from one eyebrow to the other. The concept of beauty changes over time, tastes also change radically. The monocle was much loved in ancient Greece. According to the aesthetic sense of the Greeks, it emanated sensuality. eroticism and deep intelligence. In Greek and also Roman civilization, the unibrow symbolized purity and women did not change the shape of their eyebrows, but often used a black powder to darken them. In both Greek and Roman culture the unibrow was considered one of the most appreciable features of the face,
characteristic of higher-minded and especially desirable women. Instead, in medieval times, women preferred to remove all or almost all of their eyebrows. The unibrow disappeared in the Middle Ages and even the eyebrows were removed with depilatory preparations with some rather strange components, to obtain a large, spacious and hair-free forehead. In Persia, today's Iran, for a certain period a total hair removal of the eyebrows was in use with the method now called threading. Then around 1700 the unibrow returned in honor. This is the story of this continuous strip of eyebrows that in the countries of English language is called unibrow. In the 1970s it became fashionable to wear them very thin, almost a thread, while today they are back in the limelight, beautiful, thick, well defined and more marked. Even the unibrow of the artist Frida has become a symbol against the standards of female beauty imposed by today's society. And there are also international actresses and models who proudly exhibit their unibrow, have definitively abandoned the tweezers and left their eyebrows uncultivated, often dyeing them even a very dark shade. Some men have even thicker eyelashes at times, however, they too do not like this effect and resort to the hand of the beautician.

Monociglio: how to eliminate the "bridge over the Strait of Messina"

This semi-continuous strip of hair can be jokingly defined "bridge over the Strait of Messina", because it passes from one eye to the other by joining the two eyebrows. However, nowadays the unibrow is not considered by all to be a particularly sensual sexy symbol, and many men and women do not find it aesthetic at all. If you too want to change the shape of your eyebrows, outlining them in a perfect and accurate way (not for fashion, but only for personal taste), we find together the best technique. tweezers, depilatory strips, comb, thin round brush for eyebrows, scissors, mirror. First of all, arm yourself with patience, do this operation calmly, so as not to damage them (remember that eyebrows take time to grow back and in any case if they are removed badly, they grow badly and with difficulty). Start by cutting a very thin depilatory strip, place it at the center of the unibrow. With the first pull you will already have the eyebrows separated. To accentuate the central detachment, you can repeat the pull with another depilatory strip, being careful not to overdo it and aligning the beginning of the eyebrow with that of the eye from the part of the nose (i.e. its inner tail). Then start with the tweezers. Never use it from the top of the eyebrow, except for some stray hair. This is the procedure, even if thinning the central part with tweezers would be much safer and more natural than the effect obtained with the depilatory strip.
