The shaved eyebrow slit.

The eyebrow slit was the ultimate lad trend of the 90s and early 2000s – we thought we’d left it behind, but it’s back again in a BIG way for both men and women.

A simple search of the hashtag #eyebrowslits on Instagram reveals thousands of photos of people with slits carefully shaved into their brows, from subtle lines:

Resurrecting something from my past. #eyebrowslits #newinstagram New things get old; it is sad and true. But thank God old things can become new again. Age always gives birth to a new perspective. History begets New possibilities which in turn eventually becomes History itself. God... It is His-story. A complete cycle. Beginning to end. Old and new... they are whole because they are one.

So you’re telling us we all worked so hard to grow our 90s sperm brows out, just to shave them off again? We can’t keep up.
