'''Synophrys''', also known as a '''unibrow''' or '''monobrow''' refers to a "confluence of eyebrows"; i.e. the presence of abundant hair between the eyebrows, so that they seem to converge to form one long eyebrow.
Synophrys has been the subject of various misconceptions and superstitions. Victorian criminologist Cesare Lombroso identified unibrows as a sign of criminality but was later discredited. The practice of plucking eyebrows specifically to remove the bridge is commonplace, but some famous people have become well-known for their monobrow, such as [[Frida Kahlo]], a [[Mexican]] artist and the subject of a 2002 [[biopic]], ''[[Frida]]'', starring [[Salma Hayek]].
