To sign "eyebrow," form your dominant hand into an index finger pointing shape (a "1" handshape). Bring your hand up to your face and use the tip of your index finger to gently trace the natural arch of your eyebrow. Start from the inner edge near the bridge of your nose and move smoothly outward toward the side of your face. You only need to trace one eyebrow.
Sign "she", then sign "eyebrow", followed by the sign for "surprise" while physically raising your own eyebrows to show the facial expression.
Sign "my", then "eyebrow" on the right side, and finish with the sign for "itch" near the eyebrow area.
Point to "him", sign "eyebrow", and use a descriptive classifier (like a thick 'G' handshape) over the eyebrows to indicate their thickness.
