monobrow

Eyebrows meeting centrally

A monobrow is a single continuous eyebrow formed when hair grows across the bridge of the nose, connecting the two brows.

Also called a unibrow.

The feature has varied cultural associations—considered attractive in some traditions, unfashionable in others—and is easily removed by plucking or waxing: He refused to do anything about his monobrow.
