A unibrow (or monobrow; called synophrys in medicine) is a pejorative term for the presence of hair between the eyebrows. This hair is of the same colour and thickness as the eyebrows and can make them appear to converge to form one uninterrupted line of hair. ==Beauty and culture== Historically, and in some cultures, for example Tajikistan, the unibrow is viewed as an attractive quality in men and women alike. In some cultures, it may be associated with purity and, in men, virility; while most Western cultures find it unappealing, often associating it with a lack of sophistication and good grooming, and it is often used to caricature human inbreeding. People in Western cultures may pluck, wax, or use other treatments to rid themselves of this feature. However, in non-Western cultures, this facial hair does not have this stigma, and is seen as a sign of feminine beauty, where connected eyebrows are a sign of virginity and of being unmarried. In a rare instance of positive associations with a unibrow in Western Culture, the first pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, Anthony Davis of the University of Kentucky, trademarked the phrases "Fear the brow" and "Raise the brow", which reference Davis' famed unibrow.
