Eyebrows are one of the key elements that enhance the beauty of your face. A vast majority of novel approaches to beauty have centered on the eyebrows over the years, making them both the point of interest and, on occasion, the victim of various creative aesthetic trends. There is never a shortage of advice on what you should be doing with those furry things on your face, whether eyebrows are thin, bushy, feathered, or squiggly, and many magazines and beauty blogs are never short of ideas.

However, you are never encouraged to allow your brows to meet, and they are usually motivated to form a unique eyebrow, but one woman is out to change that. Sophia Hadjipanteli, a Greek Cypriot student and model who usually is blonde, dyes her unibrow black to draw attention to it more, as you can see in the photos below. Additionally, she is one of the most popular Instagram stars, with many followers from all corners of the world following her latest Unibrow Movement.

Sophia recognizes that her appearance is not to everyone’s preference, and she is aware that some people find it unappealing; despite this, she does not give a damn about what other people think of her. She freely acknowledges this fact. “From my perspective, this gives my face a more attractive appearance,” she added. She is not bothered by the fact that people call her the Unibrow Girl; she’s chill.

After receiving numerous requests, she recently dressed up as Frida Kahlo, the well-known Mexican painter renowned for her prominent unibrow. I’ve always admired her and thought she was gorgeous. After doing that, I feel I have given myself the reputation of being someone who embraces being themselves and isn’t necessarily being natural, but is simply doing what they want”.
