The Unibrows of Tajikistan... How far would you go?

No need to pluck anymore:

Unibrows are the fashion in Tajikistan:


Usma, a leafy green herb, is sold in all Tajik markets. You can get a small bunch for about $0.06. The process is simple but effective, several market women assured me. Take a bunch of usma and let it dry in the sun for a couple hours. Then grind up the leaves until a dark green goo seeps out. Dip a branch of usma-- or a matchstick, if you want to be more precise -- into the goo and smear it on your eyebrows, making sure, of course, to color the space in between. Leave on for 15 minutes, and repeat the smearing process one or two more times. The result is a deep black unibrow, rich and expressive.

So, would you do it?

Serious question.

I sometimes like to draw the brows in a bit towards the centre, but often down, rather than together.

The other way:

Do not forget to answer the poll. :D

This is a reverse.

Rather "how much would you unibrow", than "how much would you pluck your eyebrows?"

[Leliana]

All my efforts to sport an 'unibrow' are worthless! :puppy_dp: There are no eyebrow hair growing on my nose bridge! I'll be never lucky again. :(

[Queen B]

Frida Kalo is ''it'' in Tajikistan! Seriously, this looks awful!!

That is fine, you just need a grey/blonde eyebrow powder and you could draw them in a little.

Otherwise, you could apply the Usma paste and go all the way to unibrow heaven...

You need to be more open-minded, like Princess Stephanie of Monaco:

This style, known as the 'Scouse brow' is has become popular in parts of the UK:

They are getting closer and closer together...

I must say that the unibrow Tajiks looks better than the Liza Minelli`s distanced brows fashion with 10cm gap.

Both looks horrible tough.

I suppose an advantage might be that it would 'tickle' everytime you hugged someone with a Unibrow! ;)

It's simply revolting you freaks, don't do that for God's sake :loco:

Tajikistan and Turkey, brothers in blood and beauty! :cool:

Leliana shows her determination to defeat the peoples' of the unibrow.

Leliana widens her brows as political statement.

[Balmung]

Kill it with fire!

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

Looks interesting but hell no..I don't have so much eye brow either..

[Blackout]

I don't have a unibrow, but I think their kinda cool!

As you can see, I was desensitised from a young age ! :laugh:

[PeacefulCaribbeanDutch]

they don't look too bad it makes them look humble

I like girls with thick eyebrows, I think they look really cute on italian or spanish girls, and gives them a natural look

Wait until some eccentric pop icon or trendsetter discover this authentic fashion :p

She kinda resembles fufu, me thinks..

[Fortis in Arduis]

So... Draw it in with the usma paste.

Note that I said "it", not "them". :swl

[Dombra]

Anyone in favor of growing matching unibrow and mustashe?

ok
+1 to "Do it when I am drunk " list :p
sounds fun

Women in the Paleolithic must have looked quite rough without any means to pluck their eyebrows or groom themselves. :D
I think large eyebrows are a masculine feature, so they don't really suit women so much. Slight unibrows aren't so bad, but one massive eyebrow is awful.

It does seem to be a trait in eastern Caucasian populations though - Georgians, Armenians, some Turkic countries and some Greeks all seem to have more prominent eyebrows than hose further west.
My own (http://www.theapricity.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1260847&postcount=9543) eyebrows are larger than the English norm, but not too bad IMO.

The slight unibrow looks more fecund than the paedomorphic überplucked offerings.

Your thick eyebrows are very nice indeed, but do you remove any from the centre, or do you allow them to grow naturally? Would you be ashamed to have a unibrow of your own?

How far would you go?

Maybe it is a primitive feature.

Thank you. :icon_cheesygrin: Yes, I do get rid a of few stray hairs though. They don't join, but it just looks a bit messy if I don't. I wouldn't like a single eyebrow, it would be crap and draw too much attention.
