* Most characters in ''[[Ears for Elves]]'' with a fringe have these, though the brows are just a single line, but it's particularly noticeable on Myari. In order for her hair in its high tails to cover the same amount of face as it does on other characters, she has almost no forehead. However, her eyebrows [http://www.earsforelves.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Myaricolor.jpg can still be seen] the right distance above her eyes—in the middle of her scalp. |

* Given, this ''could'' be a slight example of [[Truth in Television]]; while it's not particularly easy to see a person's eyebrows or face through their hair, it's a lot easier then trying to see them through a solid block. So see-through-hair might just be the attempt at representing so many tiny strands being slightly easier to see through. |

* Umi Rengaya from the ''[[Excel Saga (manga)|Excel Saga]]'' manga has hair which shows not only her eyebrows, but also her eyes, chin, and sometimes ears, to highlight both how transparent her attempts to flirt with Shiouji are, and how invisible she is to him. |
