Definition
眉头 refers to the brow — the area between the eyebrows, not the eyebrows themselves (眉毛). It appears in common expressions describing facial expressions, such as 皱眉头 (to frown), 眉头紧锁 (to have a worried expression), and 舒展眉头 (to relax one's expression). You use it to talk about someone's facial expression conveying thought, worry, or relief.
