Just like fingerprints, eyebrow patterns are unique to each individual, making them a potential tool for identification.

Eyebrows have a growth cycle similar to hair, with phases of growth, rest, and shedding. On average, they grow about 0.16 mm per day.

Unlike some hair on the body, eyebrows have a high regenerative capacity, meaning they can grow back quickly if plucked or shaved.

Changes in eyebrow appearance, such as thinning or loss, can sometimes be indicative of underlying health conditions like thyroid disorders or alopecia areata.

Phrenology, a pseudoscience from the 19th century, claimed that the shape and size of eyebrows could indicate personality traits or character attributes. However, there's no scientific evidence to support this theory.
