"Unusual" Traits: Widow's Peak and Unibrows

**SouthernBoy** · Wednesday, July 14th, 2004

I have a few unusual traits that I have been wondering about for some time. Can someone tell me the origin of both Widow's Peaks, and unibrows?

I too would like to know. I have a small widow's peak, and my half-brother has a bit of a unibrow.

What's a widow's peak???

btw. is it a unibrow when you need to look more closely to see it?
My brows are 'connected'

but you can't see it from some distance.

No, I don't think that would classify as a unibrow.

A "widows peak" is a small triangular shaped peice of hair at the top of ones forhead, on the hair line that points downwards. Some people have large ones, some people have small to moderate ones and some have none. I myself have a barely noticable "widows peak."
