For a long time the unibrow was ignored, but now a new trend of natural eyebrow hair is putting it in the spotlight.
Nowadays, the unibrow is a very controversial thing, as the beauty industry abhors glued-on eyebrows. However, in the past, this was not really a problem.
Frida Kahlo says so. The Mexican artist wore the hair above her eyes naturally, that is, with thick, united eyebrows, which formed a unibrow. For her, this was completely normal.
However, some women are starting to adopt their natural eyebrows, without styling or removing excess hair. However, not everyone approves of this style, and some people do everything to avoid the unibrow.
Meanwhile, many models and influencers are joining the trend, whether for a natural look on their face, or just as a choice. Therefore, today we are going to learn a little more about the origins of the controversial unibrow.
Origin of the use of Monocelha
This wave of leaving the eyebrows natural came about with the Greek Sophia Hadjipanteli, who created a movement called #UnibrowMovement.
In September 2017, the 20-year-old marketing student and model saw her number of followers on Instagram double. The reason was surprising. Some people were amazed and others admired by her natural eyebrow, which formed a unibrow.
That was enough for the model to become a global topic. In an interview with “Harper’s Bazaar” magazine, the model spoke about the subject. In short, she said that she didn’t do it just to show people, but because, personally, she thought she was prettier with her eyebrows natural.
The young woman’s choice regarding her eyebrows was widely commented and shared on social media. Therefore, a year and a half later, the model already had 332 thousand followers.
Now, as an influencer, she has made Frida Khalo’s style an international trend. With the #UnibrowMovement, more people began to discover this style and adopt the unibrow.
However, as strange and even bizarre as this seemed, more and more people adopted this style. Among them, influential people such as model Scarlett Costello and blogger Leandra Cohen.

How to end Monocelha?
However, as much as there are people who like this style, the majority still disapprove of the unibrow and do everything they can to avoid it.
So, if you are one of these people, and want to get rid of extra hair, here we will share some tips to get rid of unibrows.
In short, these are the best methods for plucking your eyebrows:
- Clamp: The tweezers are recommended for those who have few eyebrow hairs, as it can cause pain when removing them. In other words, for those with unibrows, it may not be the best option;
- Cera: wax is recommended for those who have very thick or numerous hairs on their eyebrows;
- Razor Blades: The blades are recommended for those who want a painless method when removing hair. However, this option can end up thickening the hair, and is much less durable.
