GlossaryEyebrows

strips of hair above eyes aiding protection and expression

Eyebrows are the strips of hair located above the eyes on the brow ridge. They serve several functions, including protecting the eyes from sweat, rain, and debris, as well as playing a crucial role in non-verbal communication by expressing emotions. Additionally, eyebrows help to frame the face and enhance facial recognition.
