But today, October second, is really special it’s Eyebrow Day. I’m Linda Stein and this is Getting Personal. Ah the eyebrow, comprised of those little wisps of hair, gracefully sitting atop each eyelid. Did you ever wonder why eyebrows don’t grow and grow until they cover your entire face? Men don’t concern themselves with the shaping and contour of their eyebrows.October is such a busy month with the ever-popular National Dessert Day on the tenth, Mother-in-law day on the 27th and Halloween on the thrity-first. But today, October second, is really special it’s Eyebrow Day. I’m Linda Stein and this is Getting Personal. Ah the eyebrow, comprised of those little wisps of hair, gracefully sitting atop each eyelid. Did you ever wonder why eyebrows don’t grow and grow until they cover your entire face? Men don’t concern themselves with the shaping and contour of their eyebrows. Often men don’t even have eyebrows, but rather one brow, originating on the outer reaches of their eyes and like the building of the railroad jointly from the east and west, the two sides of many men’s brows simply meet in a crescendo of hair across the bridge of the nose creating one continuous line of hair dividing the forehead from the rest of the face. For women, eyebrow styles come and go. Evolving from the pencil-line brows of Hollywood’s golden age to the the fluffy , full look popularized by Brook Shields, eyebrow awareness begins for most females in their teens. Fashionable adolescents safely follow the tweezing guidelines in the latest issue of Seventeen Magazine, but the rest of us…wild tweezers in hand, learned the bitter lesson that once tweezed most eyebrow hair often disappears forever. One hopeful friend deduceded that if shaving makes leg hair grow in thicker, why not eyebrow hair. She applied her trusty lady Gillette to her face and a week later, like magic the same lonely stragglers grew in. I wonder if Rogaine would work! Be kind to your eyebrows, today’s their day. With Getting Personal, I’m Linda Stein.
